Favorite Artists for different Composers


Just discovered Maurizio Pollini playing the Chopin Polonaise cycle 💜 well I think that's perfection...... when homework = unfettered bliss 🙋

I saw a brilliant comment on  https://youtu.be/8QT7ITv9Ecs video of Kissin playing the Heroic Op 53  saying 'if you can play this, you win' 💪😁😀😂

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 😅😇💪💫
