Reply To: Different versions of the same work?
I absolutely believe what you say that it makes a difference.Even more so on solo interpretations like the Goldberg variations where you hear evry note directly. It is not that I don’t know that myself. Let it jus tbe a film score and a re-recording that varies a bit what you are used to. Or take the Hungarian orchestra Goldsmith had to use 😉 Or a cover version of a tv theme that just doesn’t get it right.
I think just don’t have the time or don’t want to spent it for exploring that for one single work in general if there is so much more music out there to explore.
