Lang Lang: Saint-Saens
[…] If you hear it on this album, you certainly will be impressed – but if you hear it on, say, our own JJP’s recommended performance (Previn/Pittsburgh), you will be swept away by the sheer beauty, with the voice of the cello soaring above the perfectly balanced piano, not the other way around. The performance of the Concerto is in much the same vein: extraordinary in spots but facing stiff competition. (JJP recommends those by Jean Philip Collard on Warner, Stephen Hough on Hyperion, and Chamayou on Erato). In totality, this one leaves me feeling that the current production is just another version – and again, independently of interpretation, there’s the issue of the imbalance between soloist and orchestra.Earlier, I mentioned the other short solo pieces on the album.

A shelter where people can be sure of quality and find so much to discover: founder Michael Adda on his record label, La Dolce Volta
[…] The Belgian pianist, Florian Noack has recorded a disc of transcriptions including a Bach harpsichord concerto and Rimsky Korsakov's Scheherezade, and I want to be like you from The Jungle Book! There are piano trios from Trio Sora, an all-female group who have already recorded Beethoven for Naive. And the Swiss pianist, Cédric Pescia is recording Bach. There will be two new discs with Olivier Latry in Liszt, Dupre and Durufle.The distinguished French pianist Jean-Philippe Collard, who is 75 years old, has recorded his first disc of Bach, transcriptions of organ works by Busoni and others. And Michael points out that Collard may not be making any more recordings. As a boy, Collard sang in the church choir where his father was an organist and was impressed by Bach's organ works so this disc will be paying tribute to that. Another big disc to look forward to is of melodies from […]
