I have never heard those octaves played that fast without portamento! Shafran's eccentricities can be annoying - especially his vibrato, which he turns on and off in the strangest places - but in this recording, it makes sense (most of the time - it's a matter of taste of course). All in all, this is a fantastic recording! His Russian soul makes this the best Rococo I've ever heard!
We really do need a different way to express when we love a recording than when we just like it. In absence of that option, clicked "like." Would add emphasis, if only possible.
Quite simply, the best version ever recorded.
Amen to that.
