Performance:  Sonics: |
sorry to be less than enthusiastic but I was looking forward to these discs as I enjoy Spanish music...The passion and fire seem to elude this pianist.especially from the start ..I do have more interesting performances and recordings of this and similair music....Not struck on piano tone either...Double disc in a standard type case...DSD recording....just over 90 minutes mediocre very studied type playing..not even a bonus piece....doesnt capture much , if any Spanish spirit , sorry ..doesnt help when you are playing this in and its currently snowing.........Dave
Update and corrections,,,,,The playing time for the pieces as follows. Disc 1 Iberia 1-3 49.58" Disc 2 Iberia 4 .....26 minutes....Navarra 6.55" Suite Espagnole 41.31"...
I should add that my major beef was with Iberia the main work..Ive tried playing the other works first,,,.The performance of the Navarra & Espagnole is slightly better.IMO. Dave
