Too often we tend to allow ourselves to be influenced primarily, even only by lighting exponents of our own instrument. Re-ordering a shelf or two of recordings this evening, I came across two lodestar recordings that completely reshaped my own thinking as a pianist, 25 years ago: Riccardo Ricci playing Sibelius' Violin Concerto, and Zino Francescatti's rendering of that of Beethoven. What 'off-piste' performances have reshaped your approach?
