I will kick things off!
I really have enjoyed listening to my favorite Baroque Violinist: Giuliano Carmignola in Vivaldi's 4 seasons. The Orchestra and him are so in sync!

This is first of four piano pieces that draw me back continually! I have both the Liszt and Schubert Standchens and I switch between the two when attempting to get the music off the page! We could do with a session on how to do hands on top of each other and pedalling staccato?

2nd piece - Alfred Brendel's - the Wanderer Fantasy

3rd piece - Martha Argerich. I was obsessed with two female artists in the 1960's: Nina Simone and Martha Argerich! Chopin's 1st Piano Concerto.

4th piece the Schubert 4-hander - the Fantasy in F minor. I will catch up on TB at the weekend. The session on this was too late for me [to be awake!] Again, I want to know how to pedal this!

I have been listening to a lot of Scarlatti recently. This week I have been watching this recording by Lucas Debargue on repeat. I love his clarity, energy and the ornamentations he has added.

50th anniversary of Keith Jarrett’s first solo album Facing You.

I have listened to and practiced Kreisler Vaneyev-prelude & allegro the style of Pugnani-Piano

Here's a video I've been watching this week. First came across the piece from Yo-Yo Ma's audiobook "Beginner's Mind". The opening improvisations on guitar and accordion are quite interesting. I've never seen an accordion player "jam" like that before.

I was in folk music mode last week, and started to revive my playing of Bartok’s 6 Rumanian Dances and came across the original field recordings of the folk tunes. I was awe struck how his writing was truly an authentic recreation of folk music in a modern idiom!

Ahh - what a nice question, thanks Dominic. After the Chopin masterclasses (I was really so taken away but that tip on the Barcarolle pedalling from ....(??) Dunn, following the Chopin marking, but then it sounded like he suggested a finger pedal) - got a bit chopin-crazy (I know - yawn - but I haven't listened to it for some time, so re-discovered in a way). Listened to Louis Lortie's recordings - the scherzos, ballades and impromptus with nocturnes in-between. Really liked Scherzo 1 (and then downloaded the Ivo Pogorelich version of it - which is quite different).

As I am learning Schubert's Impromptu Opus 142 No 3 B flat Major (Rosamunde) - I keep listening to Mitsuku Uchida play it. We just got the CDs of her playing Mozart's Sonatas too... such a great touch. But, the Schubert has been on replay during my commute. https://youtu.be/8C-engb-FZE

I’ve been listening to Mariya Yudina play SonataNo 2 by Ernst Kshenek. Both performer and pianist are new to me so a double delight!
Also been listening to the new soundtrack recording of West Side Story. Just fantastic!!!

Listening to Ewa Poblocka after the recommendation from Jarred Dunn in his masterclass yesterday. I’ve never heard her before. Absolutely stunning! Chopin Nocturne Op 55 No 2 is right around 4:50.
