Gould/Pratz plays Shostakovich 3 Fantastic Dances, Op. 5

[smartsane]

hey folks

I love Gould's beethoven p.c. #5 with Stokowski. beautiful playing in the slow movement.

NOW I HAVE A QUESTION

does anyone have Albert Pratz's Ace of Diamonds LP Voice of the Stradivarius? I hope I have the title right. Violin pieces with orchestral accompaniment. i.e. tailleferre, glazounov etc. It's a gem. I've never seen it on CD and would love to have this little masterpiece.

thanks all

I like the pieces very much, but I don' t think it fits the violin so well.

[InteressiertDICHnich]

fantastic interpretation, indeed..

number three is particularly good, with the little pizzicato in the middle of the melody. classical music is just taken far, far, too seriously.

awesome piece by shostakovicccccch

Really FANTASTIC ! It's a great pity that Gould passed away too early. The typical way

he played piano always attracted me and I feel I could also listen to his whispering.

Thank you for sharing a splendid "GEM".
