Each of the 56 discs  which make up the series are drawn from Steve McCurry's work - https://www.stevemccurry.com/ 

 

Clearly this particular disc carried a favourite who also made the cover of his portrait book.  

 

 

A website devoted to acknowledging recordings of the Bach Cantatas captures the artwork for each disc. Some portaits are most striking!

A news story on the lass on the cover of that book.

The harpsichord gives Soler’s fandango a mesmerising relentlessness

This is a curious one, Schubert’s Alfonso und Estrella, in a 1978 East German studio recording with a stellar cast. It is musically impeccable, yet unengaging. Much like Mozart’s Mitridate. That’s probably due to the lack of character development (to use a screen term).

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 4

 

Wow, bit early in the day for that??!

 

By the time it's finished though, it'll feel later in the day...

 

You pick some interesting entertainments, I notice. (Often wanting to comment).

Heh.... a challenging work day ahead so Shostakovich was my complement to coffee in getting my game face on (intensity, subtlety, anxiety ....)

Tatiana Nikolaeva - Shostakovich: 24 Preludes And Fugues For Piano -- apparently it's Stop! Shostakovich time! so I dug out this 1987 recording of Tats tickling the ivories. This cycle of preludes and fugues is not too dissimilar to Bach's cycle in terms of complexity and emotion, but Dmitri apparently favours a less delicate approach to that of Johann Sebastian. Apparently Tats encouraged Shostakovich to pull his finger out and finish these pieces so she could perform them back in the 1950s.
