I deeply regret never being able to hear the Szigeti recording of Duo Concertante - I fully agree about its emotional depth, which can be savoured in the first recording Stravinsky made of the piece with the what? dedicatee, commissioner? Dushkin in Paris in 1933: the music has a sense of timeless rapture found in only a few works by S. & not really caught in the Kremer recording that is my only comparison.
PS. Why does this link name Alkan when the music is by S.?
