I think I fell into something of a trance at one point during the Schubert trying to reconcile how those notes in my ear were being produced by his pinky finger. He really pushes the boundaries of what you expect of the instrument.Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15748408812275965064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18540063.post-53195012185676280622008-02-14T11:53:00.000-05:002008-02-14T11:53:00.000-05:00Agree 10 zillion percent, Alex!<BR/><BR/>See my Sun-Times review here if you like:<BR/><BR/>http://viewfromhere.typepad.com/Andrew Patnerhttp://viewfromhere.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18540063.post-25867650607720604512008-02-11T21:43:00.000-05:002008-02-11T21:43:00.000-05:00Lupu is fantastic. I sure love that Brahms disc and always recommend it to my students who play Brahms. I have never heard him play Debussy but with his command and subtlety I'm sure it would be outstanding.eusebiushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17903573062005058706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18540063.post-1950172528524794102008-02-11T12:43:00.000-05:002008-02-11T12:43:00.000-05:00I didn't catch Lupu when he did that program at Carnegie Hall recently, but saw him do all five Beethoven concertos in the space of a week with the Cleveland Orchestra at Carnegie a couple of seasons back, and it was incredible.<BR/><BR/>That particular Brahms disc is one of my <I>absolute</I> desert-island selections, one of my favorite recordings of anything, ever.Steve Smithnightafternight.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.com
