Successful Presentation

Michael Korstick has managed with his interpretations of transporting a serene and sometimes naughty aura of the Diabelli Variations! The playful alternation of piano to forte subito (and vice versa), it has in my opinion, very skillfully, and also sweeter variations such as no. 15 then act in turn hauntingly beautiful. One can hardly do better. That he could read the emotions Beethoven from its original notes, which takes you from Michael Korstick in this presentation.

This recording I hear with great pleasure again and again - but with my two high-end systems are not exactly sitting between the speakers in the middle, instead consider myself rather "somewhere" in the room on. And why? Because the recording "of the site belongs to" may sound very genuine and Livehaftig - and that's really good - so the wings, however, reproduced hacked with correct sitting position: rather right the keyboard, theoretically therefore would stand in the way of the cover of the right-sounding recording , but which is not the case. The body is not spatially defined, everything seems a bit jumbled, although again quite spatially acting through the subtle reverberation. And that's probably, what can in many systems lead to an overburdening of the components and, ultimately, to the listener. Therefore, a star deduction.
