An amazing recording. Such tenderness and balance by both soloists. Leaves me speechless. Is it the familiarity to the material that the soloist and conductor have that elevates the performance?
2. Pink Floyd- Wishing you were here.
takes me away......
CG | That Shosti recording is legendary and would have made it to my island as well. It has been a favorite of mine for a long time. In a way you might be on to something. The fact that Dimitri and Maxim are on this recording lends a great deal to its authenticity which, for some folks, would definitely elevate the experience and/or the performance. I know it did for me. On a friendly note.....The Pink Floyd album to which you refer is entitled "The Dark Side of the Moon" and the song is "Wish You Were Here". Did you catch them do this on LIVE 8? I had goosebumps seeing Gilmour and Waters peform on stage together again. Another great album that would have made it to my island, but my list is already getting too long. LOL.  |
