Thanks

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.
