Just discovered Maurizio Pollini playing the Chopin Polonaise cycle 💜 well I think that's perfection...... when homework = unfettered bliss 🙋
Otherwise, I love all of the Chopin by the incredible & otherworldly Evgeny Kissin
I learnt the Beethoven Piano Sonatas with the sincerely irreplaceable Daniel Barenboim
All the Schubert I study is with infinitely treasurable Alfred Brendel
I studied the Chopin Nocturnes with the sublime Brigitte Engerer
Hmmm that's me there - that's what I've been doing this last 8 years & I've loved every minute
I'm a bit/very out of touch with modern music these days though there was a time, early 00's, when I was Robert Plant to my friends Jimmy Page covering Led Zeppelin at house parties, as you do. I can't remember much about this period, it was an extremely tough time. My guitarist Steve reminded me recently that I sang "Whole Lotta Love" in the garden at a party where he got hit on by his future wife of 18 years. I don't remember but my Zep phase directly led to meeting Robert Plant in 2004 (photos later, its a great story) - for which Steve was endlessly jealous - although his good fortune in such a solid relationship was equally enviable imo 💞
Just realised I'm describing Led Zep as 'modern music' comparatively, compared to......... my 'new' lot 😅😇💪💫
