 David Shifrin in Providence 3/13
Author: BlockEyeDan

Hello all,
I had the pleasure of hearing David Shifrin for the first time when he appeared with the RI Philharmonic last Saturday night. The orchestra did a Stravinsky suite and Beethoven's 4th. Shifrin played K.622 with his bassett horn.

What moved me about the performance was Shifrin's laid-back, almost lack of staccato style of playing the piece. It was a much mure fluid interpretation than, say, Sabine Meyer's version with the Dresden State Orchestra and Hans Vonk.

Is there a recording of K.622 that is a particular favorite? How does Shifrin's interpretation stand up to the all-time recordings?

BTW, I spoke with him briefly after the concert. He was as congenial and pleasant as could be.

I like Shifrin's interpretations and think they stand up well to many others!

However....my most favorite recording of the Mozart Concerto is by Alessandro Carbonare; still out of print, I believe. However, one can listen to bits of it on his website:

I don't know about that older recording of Sabine, but the newer one with the Berlin Phil uses tempos that I find very distasteful; it's like she was in a hurry to get it over with or wanted to turn the music into a technical exercise!

She certainly doesn't move me the way many other players have....
