I've seen secondhand copies of this on eBay for upwards of £100, so this Speakers Corner reissue was a cost effective alternative for SWMBO :eyebrows: . Sounds terrific . . .
I was playing it just yesterday, Bob. I found my vinyl copy in the US for a lot less than that, and the XRCD version on Amazon for about £40.
Jerry found it rather exciting :eek:
It certainly is good, Martin. The music was more familiar than I thought it would be, as I have a number of guitar recital discs with the original pieces. But it is a gem. :eyebrows:

I've been in a Schuberty piano mood of late, and have played quite a few sonatas from this set.
Deyanova has a way of her own with these sonatas and she is probably a marmite Scubert interpreter - some will love her playing, some will hate it. I doubt there would be many sitting on the fence!
Personally, I like it a lot - she has clearly been influenced by Sviatoslav Richter - another of my fave Schubert interpreters.
Great sq from Nimbus, too. :thumbsup:
Yep - ridiculously explosive dynamics - once I had recovered from concussion resulting from being slammed into the back wall, it made me laugh out loud when I heard it on Martin's system.Quote:

Cheapest way to get it is here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LANG-LANG-...item1c2e356549
This Hong Kong eBay seller is excellent - I have bought 100 or more classical music DVDs from him!
I did like that when you played it at mine. Must look it up.Quote:
