Yes indeed, she was a bit of a babe back then. Still the finest and most satisfying pianist, along with Radu Lupu, that I know in recordings. She makes anything sound good.Quote:

Two 40 minute-ish symphonies.
The 3rd (placed 1st on the CD) is quite light-hearted and easy going, the 2nd is more serious and powerful.
Nicely recorded, both are well worthwhile. :)

Astonishing pianism.
Just listened to this

I have no idea what to say :scratch: Like many similar western influenced Chinese / Japanese efforts I tend to enjoy a single playing then it goes on the gathering dust pile (I must try harder...)
I think she looks great for 72!Quote:

Superb stereo recordings from the early 60s - great sound in a somewhat bright but very focussed, hi-rez way.
Superbly alive and exciting interpretations - they don't make 'em like this any more! :nono:

It's been one of my fave CDs for the several decades since I bought it! Available here for £2.24 delivered. ;)

Part of a 16 CD charity shop haul at 99p each. :eyebrows:
Very impressed by Haendel's violin playing - I've just now invested in a couple more CDs by her.
This is pleasant backround listening -->
