Compare feature blurb

August 3, 2009

Double the pleasure! Our library has many pieces of music that are performed more than once. We think this is wonderful: we can compare performances and gain insights into different interpretations as well as the compositions themselves. This what the Compare button on the Player is for.

Today we present Debussy’s Ondine, from Préludes Book 2, played by the pianists Junghwa Lee and Maya Hartman (to listen, click here).

You could then listen to the violinists Amaury Coeytaux (accompanied by Young Kyung Hyun) and Lindsay Deutsch (then just 19 and accompanied by Kuang-Hao Huang) play Brahms’ Scherzo for Violin and Piano in c minor. The Brahms can be heard here. Shortly, we’ll publish a list of multiple performances that you can browse, comparing compositions of interest to you.
