I received this in the mail today--most enjoyable! I hear distinct echos of Shostakovich and Prokofiev, but he also has his own "thing" going on. I own only one other recording of Toch's music, his Cello Sonatas, which I also enjoy, so perhaps I need to investigate more of his music. This is an SACD even though the cover lacks the logo. Excellent sound and performances.
Mostly classical with occasional forays into jazz and classic rock (Hendrix and Deep Purple especially ). Most of my listening is via SACD unless I have a better RBCD version. I own maybe 100 LPs, but I don't listen to them very often.
My goodness, Ms. Grimaud has scored a knockout with this release! This is easily one of the best 1st Concertos that I have heard and a darn fine 2nd, too. A pity that DG doesn't make SACDs anymore, as while this sounds quite good, I can only imagine how much better it would be in m-ch SACD. (Another alternative would be if BIS, Pentatone, or Channel Classics had recorded them with these artists!)
Thank you for sharing! I'll check this SACD out.
...Those digital records (LPs) sound terrible! ...Irritating.
In honor of maestro Abbado, who passed away today.
Cool, one of my favorite Mahler 6's!!!!!!
