Re: Julian Bliss New CD: Nielsen & Mozart

I listened to him in Spotify (really, the best way to find almost every interpretation - maybe not, but far better than the local store...).

I agree his technique is superb. However, my benchmark is Sabine Meyer/Staatskapelle Dresden/Hans Vonk. IMHO, she blends better with the orchestra. I find (again, just MHO) that Bliss performs a bit of his own show in some passages and the orchestra is just there in the background.

Many variables as well that can influence, including but not limited to mic placement, masterization, etc...

And I am a firm believer that in musical interpretation, the "benchmark" you establish is very difficult to surpass, as it becomes embedded as the way of playing it...
