I just bought (another) useless recorded accompaniment on CD. This one, for the Brahms Second Sonata.
What makes it useless is that there is no way to (re)start the accompaniment at a rehearsal number. Each movement runs straight through from start to finish with no breaks. Thus, if I want to work on the last few measures (and I do!), I must play through the entire movement --I get one shot at the ending every 8-minutes or so.
The Tre-Tempi recordings out of Lichtenstein have several "break points" in the orchestral accompaniment. These normally pass with no gap --unless one stops the CD player and ,manually cues a track.
Why don't producers of these recorded accompaniments insert useful breakpoints so that one can work more efficiently? As it is, I have a half dozen accompaniments that are not effective rehearsal aids --and I'm out of the market until I can find recordings with gapless breaks.
(Also, on this recording, the third movement is a pure dirge --way, way too slow).
