This was a surprise - thunderous orchestral opening to the Pierne piano concerto! - whose ever heard of it? :scratch:
The rest of the music was good, too.

Excellent! :thumbsup:
Rach's PC2 yesterday - sampled quite a few, most too fast or too slow.
But this lady simply nailed it! Stunning.

I played it 3 times on the trot yesterday.
It's kind of 'generic romantic orchestral', but it kind of held my attention.

Rather pleasant baroquey stuff. Locatelli etc.
And some more Bach cantatas. I do like Rilling in these works, old fashioned but heartfelt.
