I like them both. The most noticeable difference is tempo; Sanderling
is significantly slower than Ossance. That represents advantages
and disadvantages for each of them. About a year ago, I did a little
self-comparision between Sanderling's first disc and the corresponding
Ossance performances. I remember thinking that Sanderling was the more
insightful, but I'd have to listen many more times to each performance to
have any definitive opinion. I just have to find the time. Kevin, get
all four cd's (actually five) - that's the only way you'll really know the
answer to your question, and I don't believe you can go wrong with either
set.
