I feel Olafsson is the blue-eyed boy of the classic labels and magazines at this point in time. Of course he brings something new to the table. And I do enjoy his Bach recordings, which I have on vinyl. But I do think there is only so much “new” an artist can bring to these pieces.
Eric Andersen - Blue River (1972). Singer/songwriter who doesn’t get the attention he deserves, imo. Backing vocals from a certain J Mitchell on the title track. Lovely album
I will check it out. FWIW, there’s no such thing as a ‘best recording’, only a ‘favourite recording’
Of course, it’s all subjective. The Schiff is very good.
Yes. Elvin Jones. Coltrane tunes. Great.
Throwing Muses - Moonlight Concessions (2025). California dreaming with Kristin Hirsch and her crew. Acoustic guitars and cello dominate, and some of those dreams are uneasy.
5 x CD - Madacy Entertainment 2006 : )

Biscuit Tin Beethoven, which is actually very good!
Presently enjoying the 5th 
The London Symphony Orchestra
Josef Krips - conductor
