Bernard d'Ascoli & Teaching the Blind

[Lacrimosa]

I've owned this Nimbus recording of the prize-winning pianist Bernard d'Ascoli performing Schumann's 'Carnaval', 'Papillons', and 'Phantasiestuke Op 111; and it is a disc I listen to frequently because I have always been impressed with d'Ascoli's beautiful tone and fine artistic sensibility. I think the recording is out of print (NI 5170), and the only recording of his that I could find on Amazon was some Beethoven chamber music. I'll try to find it and post a link, if anyone is interested.
  Anyhow, imagine my surprise when I searched the web for more information on him, and discovered that the man's been blind since birth! It's a miracle - I would have never guessed even the slightest handicap from listening to the record. Has any one else heard him, or seen him live? What is your verdict of his musicality?
  I came across a web site about how the blind are taught music. It is quite long but very interesting, and even gets into some rather deep questions concerning how we learn music.
