Warning - less than wholly positive comments follow - read at your own risk.
I have only listened to this through the speakers of a netbook with many buffering pauses, but it did sound pretty good. What I would like to add here, in hopes of clarifying some of Hans' comments, is that Donato Inglese is not an unknown factor to me or the list (if you review the archives, you will see a number of postings, some from yours truly). I suggest viewing some of the other youtube videos that he has posted before forming any opinion of Signore Inglese's place in the hormplaying firmament. I am generally impressed by his aggressive, frequently off the wall, style, but there is plenty visible, particularly his one on one with Herrmann Baumann, that will make you question his grasp on reality. I can also add that one of my previous comments on this list regarding his videos, that I thought was more positive than not, prompted a message directly from him that I found more than a little threatening and belligerent. All of this just confirms to me that it is good to keep the person and the player clearly separated in ones mind. Reading about Anton Horner's anti-semitism, as I did not too long ago, doesn't make me any less appreciative of his recordings and the quality of his teaching and his student's playing, but it is of some interest. Inglese still impresses me at his peak, but still leaves me with feeling of watching someone practicing self-sabotage in most of his self-posted efforts. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so flame me on this all you want; I'll read it in Septermber.
