Peter Clark 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 I have just downloaded what I think is a somewhat eccentric performance of this, by Todd Wilson. The tempo seems erratic as does the registration. Some speeding up towards the merging of the two themes is evident and he seems to release the pedal octaves on the last page throughout, between some bars, having no pedal about five bars before the end, bringing them back for the final three chords. Any thoughts? Or am I about to find myself the subject of a lawsuit? Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

P If you mean who I think you do, it came out last year and is actually very good. The whole disc is excellent to be honest, even if I am biased! If you do not mean who I think you mean, but you actually mean someone else that I did not think you meant, because in fact you mean someone else that I do not realise you mean, then ignore the above statement. It's meaningless. You'll have to enlighten me. R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Treloar 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2010 Jonathan - agreed, but that's true of all his recordings IMHO. Should anyone not know, he appears at Birmingham Symphony Hall tomorrow evening, annoyed with myself that I can't make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
