CD - Bach - Brandenburgische Konzerte (2010)

Number 1, it's very peppy, good volume.  It's music like I can't tell.  Played off, at least good, strong technique, worth doing it.  They have control over their sound.  It's very exciting if you notice.

Number 3, a very emotional lilt, and I know it touched them and they can play.  It's very accurate but detailed in a special way.  There are lots of even notes in a row, "holding their own."  It's bouncy, perky.  It has very sudden dynamic changes in some parts.  Solos, okay but a little nervous.  The cellos's solo is great with a cute bass; they blend in so well.  There are sudden surprises with dynamics held out.

CD - Erik Satie (2016)

"un siecle da musique franciase"

I know I am listening to Gymnopedie 1.  It is overly delicate with sudden stressed parts, on piano.  Some of it sounds very good and rhythmically strong and evenly paced.  Some of it is insistent and serious; this pianist really knows how to play and think.  There is some effect I can't reproduce.
