Thank you for your attention, and...Dear Mr. Morse,<br /><br />Thank you for your attention, and for irascible. That correctly sums my reaction to Ms. Hahn's efforts over many years.<br /><br />About the Schoenberg Concerto, hard as I tried I never warmed to this work, and found both the Krasner and Kolisch recordings underwhelming, as wonderful these artists were. I have to admit I found the piano reduction most ungrateful to play. A wonderful pianist friend encourages me to investigate the work again, that there is a Romanticism that can be found beneath the monstrous difficulties. <br /><br />It is with full assurance that Ms. Hahn's recording of this work must be pristine, a capable advocate, no small feat. However, romance and probity are two words I would not associate with Ms. Hahn. There is a a You-Tube out there, but, you have not inspired me to listen to it, though I would welcome specific qualities you find admirable in her interpretation, and Esa-Pekka Salonen's. Late Schoenberg. I'll take the String Trio, especially the part representing the injection. <br /><br />I regret I cannot share your enthusiasm for Hillary Hahn, to an extent of dogmatic philistinism. I am not quite sure what that means exactly, though I stare at the definitions of the words. To my addled ruined mind, it would have been clearer if you might have suggested, "You are a dick."<br /><br />Respectfully,<br /><br />Eduard Laurel<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ukPsvh51hIcrackcritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636906216971477946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309208991183927181.post-11670849116577420942017-02-24T08:26:44.925-08:002017-02-24T08:26:44.925-08:00Do you know a better and more expressive recording...Do you know a better and more expressive recording of the intricate Schoenberg Concerto than hers?
