Hi tds,

Bravo!  Your rendition offers very beautiful playing indeed.  Congratulations on your debut CD too!

[cai hong]

ahh my fave!

very original and independent interpretation,

compared to your performance last march these were better.

[tds]

thank you, kind people!

i'd like to ask about the score edition - i don't think i know this one.

i use a faximile of mussorgsky's own handwritten score, and a good urtext edition by konemann music budapest. but i added some notes and rewrote the coda of the great gate of kiev. tds

HA! HA! HA!  COPYRIGHT BE DAMMED THEY ARE MINE NOW HA! HA! HA! 

Thank you.  In all seriousness that was great.  I could really hear the punctual playing mixed well with a flowing and creative musicality.  Pictures is one of my favorite works and I have quite a collection of recordings from various artists yours now included. The only commentary I would have are differences in opinion on interpretation in a few various sections.  Really though I will not bore you with them as it would be pointless.

I will only talk about 'Promenade', because I cannot think of any bullshit for the rest of the movements (just kidding). Anyway, here are my two cents:

Firstly, I feel that there can be slightly more contrast between the 'single notes' and 'chordy' parts, i.e. bars 1-2 vs bars 3-4, and halfway through bar 6 etc.

Secondly, I feel that your left hand can be slightly stronger, although that could have just been the audio quality. I like your voicing though.

Thirdly, I like your dynamics! They were very well controlled and the notes were quite even from a technical perspective.

Fourthly, Mompou, what a funny name haha. I think you should add random cowbells to the piece to enhance the interest.

Finally, I think the last 8 bars were done really well, and I love your attacca to Gnomus. If I were teaching a student about 'control', I'd tell him to listen to the whole movement.

Overall, it is a brilliant recording and I loved it.
