Yea. Dodson's Liszt TE10 is stunning!

You liked it, eh? It goes to show there are no absolute truths in music.

My favorite was the guy that played the Kapustin and the other dude that played volcalise.

Overall, everything I have seen is very well done. Great spirit!

Does anyone have the sheet music to Thalberg's Fantasy on "Casta Diva" from Bellini's Norma, Op. 70 that Esfir Ross is playing?

Thx

Well, if you didn't like it, that's ok. At least it was a clean, and well done performance. It may not be Berman's standard, but she's just an amateur.

To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
