Legend is not always supreme reference ...

Obviously legendary couple (husband and wife, they had met in Berlin in the class of Arthur Schnabel) and who gave such a lot in the two suites of Rachmaninov, which I revere especially the first. Which nonetheless remains for me here a bit weak point, what disappointment that I was able to hear before. The first movement in particular is a bit fast shipped. As usual at the time of the 78s, when he was not hanging around. Anyway, I also have many modern versions that are much more convincing (because this is already a true masterpiece, a kind of poignant native nostalgia of childhood well course). These are renregistrements 1939-1940 and the postponement is excellent as without much retriturage (sometimes slightly so you get the itches, and we do not care). Also drive where we could have put us much, at least 20 minutes. The proof, anyway, it was a volume 2! Finally, interesting booklet in French, of Hoffelé (too ecstatic to).
