The Omniscient Mussel

Oops…

In her hurry to get the quiz winner announced, Miss Mussel forgot to mention who the performers were. The recording, selected by Quiz #19 winner Michael Monroe, was a Naxos recording, which is available here should it not already be a part of your library.

Notice anything interesting about the personnel?
Here’s a hint: The pianist released the album pictured below late last year.

Miss Mussel isn’t so taken with recordings on the whole but this one has her ear quite firmly in hand. To be perfectly honest, she is falling over herself to think of the superlative superlative with which to describe the album. Pick it up when you order the Poulenc. You will not be disappointed.

This video was on the blog circuit when the album was first released but here it is again just in case you missed it.

On this day..

    Tharaud is very good in Couperin, and his disc of Rameau is equally fine. Re Tic Tac Choc, there is a treat in store if you go to Youtube and seek ‘Sokolov plays Couperin’s Le Tic Tac Chock’: a treat aural, visual and, for pianists, instructive.

  • I’ll go have a look…thanks!
