The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

Yes. :)

There are some nice recordings of him playing stuff with other pianists too; Jarrett, Hancock and Gulda (IIRC).

I love his recording of the Mozart 23rd concerto with Bobby Mc Ferrin directing.... of course, now the Mozart purists can eat my head off. :)

For a good laugh, check out my posts in the audition room, and tell me exactly how terrible they are :)

Chic Corea is an incredible jazz pianist, but I have never heard him play classical piano.

In the jazzband at school, we covered La Fiesta; it was excellent.


I also requested Spain, but it didn't happen.

I have a cd of him playing Rhapsody in Blue and other Gershwin. He does a good job.
