It has now been more than a year of social isolation and careful interaction, which has affected albums in different ways. First, the few live recordings released now were recorded in the months before the pandemic began -- as in the case of Sir Simon Rattle conducting the London Symphony in Rachmaninov symphonies -- or even earlier, as in the case of Colin Currie's performances of HK Gruber's concertos. Another way is that programs have become more personal to performers, such as soprano Sonya Yoncheva or cellist Pablo Ferrández, or even the composer, as with Richard Danielpour. Finally, other performers took the time to consider or re-consider their interpretations, as Viktoria Mullova did with Beethoven's violin sonatas and Vikingur Olafsson and friends did with the music of Debussy and Rameau.
