I have finished playing around with my new cartridge for today so I have turned to Tatiana Nikolayeva. I am listening to her play Beethoven sonatas, some of which I know pretty well. I am listening to her play #18, The Hunt. I know this piece quite well. I have an album of Artur Rubinstein playing it on his 90th birthday. He approaches it like childplay and plays it with a kind of childish glee. I have never heard anyone I liked as much playing the piece, but I think Nikolayeva has a style as unique and enjoyable as Rubinstein. I needed to get away from Scriabin, whom I don't know well and understand, to a composer I do know, in order to judge her playing. I am coming to your opinion that she is one of the greats of the 20th century.
Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

Thanks for your patience with me and for your musical intelligence ... i understand your point about Scriabin...It is an acquired taste , most people are not born loving Scriabin...

At worst we can listen to them on youtube... music matter more than sound and youtube is not perfect but listenable...I prefer youtube than paying for streaming and buying a streamer... And what exist on cd if i love it i can purchase it or reach to it... It is impossible to hear the 200 songs of Peter Deunov on a cd or with streaming, it does not exist but on youtube, not only a great musician but a spiritual seer and a real one ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnRsEy4SstE&list=PLTNypuLgY9fEdocDWHrOUhytEIvK0GxhZ&index=71
