Is there any place where I can here Faure-Attwood Les Berceaux?

[pianistimo]

very cool.  if only i knew how to get around in big cities. !

Awesome!  Good luck!   

[furtwaengler]

It's nice to know Kuzmin is still around, even if I never warmed to his playing. This gives me a reason to listen again, to perhaps prove old impressions wrong.

(This too is why I can never bring myself to weed out my impractically large collection of recordings...There's always a possibility I'll want to hear something again. )

Good luck on the concert.

Mei-Ting Sun: Strauss-Sun—“Salome” (World premiere)

  Now, that sounds interesting...Salome is a horrifying masterpiece I never would have thought translates (at all) to a virtuoso piano transcription. You'll have to let us know how this goes!

What?  They didn't teach you that in kindergarten?

Jonathan Powell just played a transcription by Sorabji of it. I heard it was amazing.
