Have started a blog for Borovsky.
www.alexanderkborovsky.blogspot.com

Would appreciate hearing from any of Borovsky's students.
Does anyone have any unreleased recordings or broadcasts of Borovsky.
Have had his "48" JSB WTC LP album digitally restored to CD's.
Is anyone interested in marketing this?
Thank you.

Hi Essipova  :)

just read a little through your very interesting blog, saw the bio and the piano lineage, and the "recordings"-area: Hm. Seems it was a super idea of yours, to have some of them digitally restored.

But about marketing, I don't know. You mean: selling the digitized works professionally? hmm. Maybe others can help there? There might be a label in Thailand (?), who....ah I just quote this, of which you surely already knew:

It's a CD, and it has been published as follows:

Phayao, Thailand : Meloclassic, ℗2013.
1 sound disc (68:34) : digital ; 4 3/4 in.   

Recorded 23 March 1953, Paris, Salle Pleyel, Radiodiffusion-Television Francaise, live recording.

Fantasia and fugue in G minor, BWV 542 / Bach/Liszt (11:53) --
French suite no.5 in G major, BWV 816 / Bach (12:18) --
Piano sonata no.28 in A major, op.101 / Beethoven (18:28) --
Intermezzo in B-flat minor, op.117/2 (4:14) ; Intermezzo in C major, op.119/3 (2:49) / Brahms --
Ballade no.2 in F major, op.38 (7:25) ; Étude no.4 in A minor, op.25 (1:48) ; Ëtude no.6 in G-sharp minor, op.25 (2:11) ; Étude no.4 in C-sharp minor, op.10 (2:55) / Chopin --
Consolation no.3 in D-flat major, HS.172 / Liszt (4:29).

Alexander Borovsky, piano.

But more I don't know  :(

Cordially, 8_oct!

Addition:

ah, I just saw, if you are William Jones, that you surely know about Meloclassic, because they mention this name.  :)

Hmm. so that would cross out the idea to contact the label..mhh.  :(

But there might be chances, as well, because, in today's times, it shouldn't be a problem to find a label.

Btw.: Why not asking Meloclassic? I don't think they would refuse.

Very cordially, 8_octaves!
