Re: Your favourite unknown music

Following on from Tony's observations re the Draeseke on Youtube, I'll add that the pianist understates most of the scored dynamic contrasts. It's as though one of their goals was to not call any attention to the piano part. Yet interplay between the two parts is clearly called for throughout the score.

This effect is common. I've heard a lot of recordings where a pianist steps back from being a collaborator to being an "accompanist", playing their part like it were intended as background music off in a store somewhere. Irks me quite a bit, especially listening to pieces new to me, as it makes it difficult to understand the music or evaluate it. It tends to make the music sound boring.

Well, maybe the tendency irks even more in familiar works like the Brahms clarinet sonatas, which demand a great deal from the pianist, else the music is lost. I'd almost prefer to hear a pianist that's *too* prominent in collaboration to one that's too self-effacing.
