Usually it's the other way round, piano inaudible. The balance sounds about right to me, hearing both instruments equally.

Definitely bad balance (in the recording), favouring the piano too much. You can hear the more "spacious" sound from the violin , indicating what a more distant mic would have picked up, is my guess. Other recordings e.g. the 2nd viola (from clarinet) sonata suffers from this too. What a disaster for these exceptional soloists.

Its not a problem of volume or balance! Zukermans Mic was too far or its a bad youtube mixture.

To me it happens in the 2nd movement, and at some degree in the 3rd. The first is a bit slower than usual, but I feel that it allows the music to "breathe", to say what otherwise would pass unnoticed. But a major problem is the lack of sound balance in favor of the piano. Microphones were rather far from the violin.

Caleb yes

@@ordaviolin how do you know?

He told me

more importantly: the violinist is a Zukerman

@@leofurda he rarely plays on anything but a guarneri

Shut up and listen the notes, not the words
