Disgusting, isn't it? It's a great CD, I agree. Can't decide if it's inspirational or depressing, though... :)

A great CD/debut indeed!

Just want to point out that the Liszt Sonata was actually a recording from later on, in the early 1970s and not from the original debut LP issued by DG.

lol.. i have this cd and it is the best liszt sonata by far i have... and the brahms rhapsodies are also to die for... amazing pianist... shame that she rarely performs in concerts anymore... on her website it says her usa tour is cancelled due to doctors advice... anyone know what it is?
probably smoking will top her off some day... unfortunately probably sooner than we would all like...
