Is this a new recording? I've been looking for one for a while!

The Scheherazade has some nice moments, and some fluffs, but definitely worth further listening. The Mussorgsky is all fire and flame! The recordings are clear and present!

Sounds like I need to check this out. I was just bemoaning the lack of new recordings of these classic pieces

How nice to see you posting again! Yes, I agree, musicians are performers under high stress. I never fail to be impressed by the skills pro players have. I can play technically well, but not under those conditions.

That she is!

I think you have to practice liking complex things like music, wine, coffee, and people. It doesn't always come immediately or without effort.

Yes, if we don't keep running away from it!

I miss some of the music folks who were over active in one place, now scattered to their many hiding places

Basic recording in FLAC format included for a limited time.

I'm not sure I would have liked being there!
