So I picked up at a thrift store recently a 4 LP set
of Liszt played by Pierre Pradier.  It was unwrapped
and still had a Tower Records sticker price of 15.99.
I paid 3.

Does this set have any merites

Pierre's Pradier recordings are
on YouTube and can be downloaded
for free.

You're wrong as usual when you say youtube
has everything, it's incomplete, and doesn't
have all the tracks from the 4 LPs.

I did not claim YT has "everything".
Your reading and comprehension skills

Read again what I wrote.

Otherwise, Mr. Pradier's recordings

owning or hearing them. There
are very good reasons why he

I sampled a few of the recordings.
To my ears they sound as pluted as
anything I've ever heard. They are
extremely heavy handed, mechanical
and metronomic. The sound is harsher
than hammered sandpaper. They also
show symptoms of Arrauthritis.
Great find, Pluted!
