Sure, you’re absolutely right, Jim. Anyway, speaking of tributes, try to get your hands on "canti randagi," which is really something else compared to this album that wasn’t bad, albeit without surprising. Hi :)

Cassandra Wilson Blue Light 'Til Dawn

Great album, the issue of ratings always depends on the reference parameter; for example, if it were Wilson's discography, a five would be undeniable since this is one of the high points of her production. Other, less objective parameters can obviously refer to each of us; that's why, while sharing the essence of the review's conclusion, which I liked a lot, I’m giving a solid five to this album that I’ve listened to to the point of exhaustion. Bye :)

Interesting comment from George Dabliu... I'll read any updates. As for the rest... dear odradek, I saw this CD in a shop window some time ago and was about to grab it, but then I held back because I told myself it was pointless to buy a record just out of curiosity, risking it becoming a dust collector or burning it with a fleeting listen (happened many times). Then there’s been too much music in these last months; risk of overload. Yet reading reviews and comments makes me want to go back to that store and give in to the impulse. Will I be able to hold back again? Should I thank you or not? We shall see :)

Mozart / Bohm, Pollini, Wiener Philarmoniker Concerti Per Pianoforte n. 23 e 19

The thought about the 1900s is as legitimate as it is debatable, but indeed it seems superfluous to me in the reading, a small deviation from the path you outline. I align myself with other opinions that I share, like that of Wanderer. Conversely, I enjoyed the examination of Bohm, a conductor I also admire a lot. Among the things I’ve experienced, I remember a delicate concert for flute, harp, and orchestra, different and more beautiful to me than other interpretations. As for Mozart's piano concertos, I recently read a nice article about the presence of ante litteram romantic elements in these works. It was noted that there is no clear and definable boundary between classicism and romanticism, taking these concertos as examples. A beautiful and interesting review, worth reading while listening. Bye.

Antonín Dvořák Piano Quintet Op.81

idem as josi when it comes to transversality, which in my case is synonymous with fickleness, but moving on to the CD, which I don't know in this version, I must say that generally, I don't mind the covers from Deutsche Grammophon, although sometimes they give off a "dusty" vibe. This one, however, is still better than the series of Beethoven's symphonies by Karajan/Berliner from the '80s; does anyone remember those? I have blocked them out :) As for Dvořák, I remember that in Prague I went looking for his grave to pay my respects, but not finding it, I told myself that he can be honored in other ways, and this is a nice way: "The arpeggios coming from the piano sound like a breath, gentle and regular, that reaches and embraces her, warm and sinuous body of the cello." Beautiful, josi.
