Haven't done this in a while! Of the many CDs I acquired last year, these are some of my favorites: Paul Lewis' Schubert is without peer. The sonatas themselves are transcendental. Pierre Hantaï's Well-tempered Clavier on the harpsichord is the best recording I've ever heard of the piece. Alexandre Tharaud's Scarlatti is charming, lively, & thoroughly Gallic. I bought the re-release of Elliott Carter's early Nonesuch albums when he died last year to revisit these pieces & their original performances. |
