I just got this, and it's really fun!. I don't know where Jared finds all these people who seem to be able to blow the cobwebs off "classical" music. There's a cute video

An absolute delight, beautifully recorded. Other recordings of some of these pieces remind me of a cat being tortured. Not so with these. Marvelous playing with the musicians clearly having a good time. The video also gives us a look at Jared at the editing console.

OK, I'm convinced. Now added to my wish list.

Yes, I am really enjoying this one. I don't think I've ever heard the Ravel pieces played this way. Truly delightful, and great sound.

I've had this for a few weeks and have spent that time becoming familiar of the works as they are all new to me. Despite that, I find the performance and multi-channel sound quality stunning.
Nieuwkerk's piano gives my sub-woofer quite an impressive work-out when he hits the lower notes. In fact, his instrument is equally as impressive as the Érard on:
Ravel: Compared - Giacometti
I just have one question of this title. Érard or something else?
