Been listening to the collection of Arrau's last recordings (in Switzerland). Dad told me if I liked his Debussy's girl with flexen hair, I should listen to Francois.
I did and must admit that Francois plays Debussy with a very different style, a much more active one. The music is still absolutely amazing. They do have different take on the music. Not just with girl with flexen hair. I have to admit that I didn't quite recognize Francois playing Berceuse héroïque. It was just so different from Arrau. Arrau puts less "effort" into the music and yet leaves a more profound impression on me.
Interesting........
Kogan & Oistrakh playing Kachaturian is next. But I am going to wait for the weekend for that. it's just tooooo heavy for a week night.
