Thank you for sharing your beautifully played recordings of this most interesting composer. A search on his name reveals many CDs of his piano music exist. There are some by Coombs, Katsaris and others. I feel inclined to buy one or two. Are there any you particularly recommend ?

  Definitely Cyprien's.  Coombs, in particular is very boring, imo.

Congrats! Very nicely done, especially the fluidity.. A girl I know played this piece exactly 1 year ago and it sounded nothing like yours.

Koji,

I enjoyed your recording very much, like the previous person said, it was very beautiful and fluid. Have you recorded any of the other etudes, like the Op. 29s?

  I like some of the Op. 29's very much, I might do "The Heroes" as an encore at some point.
