  • He's underrated... much better than boring Pogorelich (just my opinion)

  • Hello, John11inch - How do you think Entremont's performance compares to Pludermacher's? Which do you prefer?

  • @John11inch Not being a very good pianist myself I wouldn't be in a position to compare recordings in detail, but do you like the Pogorelich recording?

  • @LeDairyQueen

    How can an interpretive decision be "erroneous"? Put the thesaurus away and go practice that word a bit more, because you still don't know how to use it. As well, excerpts from the Bertrand poem Ondine:

    "It is I, Ondine, spirit of the water,

    who brushes these drops,

    The water on the resonant panes of your windows,"

    "vanished in a scatter of rain –

    white streams across the dark night

    of my window. "

    Rain.

    Nothing you say makes any sense or has value. What is "clarity"? What is it doing clearly? What is "inept"? Is it that the pianist was physically or mentally inept? How can it be both clear and inept? Is clear good? Why? "Aquation inspiration"? That phrase makes me sick. Ondine is a nymph, not a waterfall. The comment about her "dripping" is more appropriate for a Gene Shalit review, but explain it anyway. Which things are "interesting," and which are "erroneous"?

  • Argerich does a pretty good job too. But I must admit this is special.

  • Reminds me – have you ever come across his Columbia LP of the Jolivet concerto?

  • Thanks for this! Never heard of Outremont before but I certainly won't forget his name now. He's getting into it and humming away at 2:08 haha.

  • @fyrexianoff agreed. its not as flat as some other supposed popular pianist's ondine playing

  • The texture he creates are incredible.
