Field Acoustic Restoration (2022): Paul Howard

Jeez! Hoffman on fire here!

Absolute pleasure to hear. Thanks, Paul. I've been enjoying a number of pianists of this era lately, Hofmann, Backhaus and Cortot among them, not to mention Rach. Maybe because I'm getting old, I find the style of play more engaging than most modern pianists. Not that there aren't some fine artists these days, but it's somehow just not the same.

I know what you mean. Kinda feel the same way.

On se demande comment beaucoup jouent Chopin sachant que ce niveau d'interprétation existe.
