Starting through the three Brahms violin sonatas this morning with No 1 in G major, op. 78 performed beautifully on period instruments and in period style - -
On the Ascona Neo this afternoon?:
The OMEN (666) - The Original Picture Soundtrack, from 1976, composed by Jerry Goldsmith and conducted by Lionel Newman, on bloodred splatter vinyl. Jerry Goldsmith wrote music for some 300+ movies and pictures, but the OMEN picture soundtrack was the only picture soundtrack he was awarded an Oscar for. This reissue however, is from 2018 and sounds fantastic .

Fabulous recording and performance. 'in heavy rotation' as mikey would say....A program of prodigious piano playing prowess.
+1 exceptional pianist, his dad is also a great violinist… Alexandre Kantorow may well ultimately outshine his father I’m thinking. Alexandre has that great balance between brilliance in technique and all that French school poetry and nuance. He’s got it all going on.

I remember enforcing a certain parameter inside a search that resulted in listening to this recording. Will have to look back if I left any impressions beyond feeling rewarded by the quality of performances on offer within that site's catalog. That it was a very rewarding return on two calories effort scrolling down that far.
Johannes Brahms: Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34
Till Fellner, piano
Belcea Quartet
“But for me, the high point of this two-disc set is the intense and beautifully integrated account of the Piano Quintet. Here we have a true partnership of equals, with Tell Fellner fitting into the Belcea’s distinctive performing ethic like a hand into a glove, neither dominating nor being subservient, but a true and instinctive chamber partner. This is very vividly displayed in the opening of the slow movement where the piano seems to be such an integral part of the texture that the tendency we sometimes experience in this music for it to sound like a piano concerto with reduced orchestra seems to belong to an altogether different world. Here is a deeply rewarding performance.”

So far, I feel that the recording quality is superior to the interpretation -- notable though it may be. It strikes me a bit feely-touchy.
Maybe because I'm more used to Bohm... maybe this is the right way to interpret Bruckner...
