Leila noted:

<<<I read somewhere recently -- sorry I can't remember where -- that
recording soloist and orchestra separately is becoming increasingly common
for
instrumental concertos.>>>

Indeed -- one can now record from the grave.

There is more than one "modern" recording of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
with the composer playing the solo part. It's actually an orchestra
following a player piano, whose roll was "punched" by the composer. (Or in
this case, de-composer!)

Does this strike anyone else as really, really weird?
