Katsaris
on: January 18, 2006, 08:10:55 AM
Just wondering - has anyone hear heard any of his recent recordings on that Piano21 label?  There are so many of them - just wondering if he is still as good as he used to be...Or has anyone heard him live recently?  Any thoughts?

I bought the Bach and the Bach transcriptions that came out on his new label. Generally speaking Katsaris is too flamboyant for Bach, and his playing on these did not altogether seem to be in good taste! Better in Liszt...

He just came to my country and had a successful concert here. He played Liszt's A major concerto.

Yes!  The "Mozart Transcriptions" CD on Piano21 is great!
Transcription of the entire G minor(40th) Symphony is soooo good, and the entire "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" is so nice.  That last movement is such an amazing feat!
Wish he included the Mozart-Liszt Don Juan, but oh well   :P
