The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street
In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence.

For us musicians, the music of Beethoven is the pillar of fire and cloud of mist which guided the Israelites through the desert.  (Roughly quoted, Franz Liszt.)

I have a live recording by Lazar Berman that is mind-blowing.

weissenberg's has just been released on DVD (it was flying around cyberspace before this recent release too). Although the audio was dubbed on the video. I wondered why the hands didn't match the music in some parts...

I heard a few good Petroushkas live in different competitions:
Yakov Kassman
Igor Kamentz

I believe, both got commercially released

Of course, G. Sokolov, whom I heard a few times live (not to count many times Russian Dance as an encore) beats them all and stamps on the graves.
