A fascinating lp has come my way - Carl-Axel Dominique is a Swedish pianist
whose 1979 live concert in Stockholm contains the swiftest/shortest Emerson and
Alcotts I have ever heard - at 11:03 and 4:30 respectively they even beat Herr
Kontarsky to the winners tape....the sound is pretty murky & bathroomish, BUT,
as in the case of Aloys K., I rather enjoy the quick versions (& I suspect
Charley would have done too). Carl-Axel also plays a movement from Sonata No.1
(listed as movt 5, but is No.4 to most of us), as well as Alkan, Satie & a
fantasy of his own - fascinatin' stuff, and I'd love to hear him in the whole
Concord, which he certainly gave on a number of occasions. Tony

Oh, I agree absolutely......a fast rushed account is just as bad as some of the awfully slow ones we all know about. However, Kontarsky has shown what a great...

I only heard 2 renditions of the Concord: Marc-André Hamelin, plus another one which I can't remember at the moment (maybe Kalisch), and my preference goes to...
