    A quick resampling of the Chopin Mazurkas he recorded for Harmonia
    Mundi reveals a timid, mechanical, textbook reading with nothing unique. Pass.



    Hey Dan -

    Did you create your YouTube playlist, with all the YouTube piano videos
    that you enjoy / performances-you-prefer?

    Just post the link here when you have that, I'll bookmark it. Thanks

    I have lots of playlists on YouTube,
    not just one. They are typically by
    work, e.g. Liszt Sonata or Albeniz
    Iberia or whatever.

    with all the YouTube piano videos
    that you enjoy / performances-you-
    prefer?

    Unfortunately they are not organized
    by preference, they are lists of all
    the performances I could find of a
    given work. For instance the Liszt
    Sonata playlist has over 500 items,
    many of which are quite forgettable,
    even if they are at all listenable.
    The Chopin 4th ballade playlist has
    over 600 entries.

    I just don't have time to trim them
    down to a small number of curated
    performances to share with a wider
    audience. I might revisit the matter
    when the war in the Middle East is
    over.

    The only playlist I am ready to
    share right now is Tom Lehrer:

    Sorry.


    Thanks - I enjoyed some the links you've posted here to r.m.c.r ,
    particularly videos of young Mikhail Pletnev.
