It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Right you are, jdaniel

It seems that in his later recordings (Dvorak Concerto with Munch, Brahms Double Concerto with Hefetz and Wallenstein), Piatigorsky couldn't seem to find the center of the pitch in many cases.

One recording of the Dvorak I'm about to order is the Thauer/Kosler/CzPO album on DG. Anja Thauer was a babe cellist from the past who no doubt would have been a rival to Jackie. Tragically, she committed suicide at the age of 28. The performance is (mostly) available on uTube, and, although I don't generally trust uTube SQ, there's enough there so that you can tell that Kosler, typically, did not enforce accurate rhythmic subdivisions of the dotted rhythms in the first few seconds or so. I'm still interested in hearing the performance to see what Thauer did with the solo part, so I'll order a copy.



BTW, there's a connection to Andy's post about Ludwig Hoelscher's recording of the Dvorak: at the age of 14, Thauer studied with Hoelscher for a year before she left Germany and entered the Paris Conservatory to study with Andre Navarra.
