Nah but seriously I'm pretty sure ravelfan07 is not Louis Lortie!

Louis Lortie seems like a fine pianist but I haven't listened much. What do you think of him?

His complete Ravel was my first introduction to the composer (beyond Bolero) and his Scarbo is still one of my favourite recordings of the piece, despite his strange decision to dot the first note of the main theme. I've also heard his complete Liszt Années de pèlerinage which was decent. I don't think I've heard anything else by him...

I love his version of Beethoven's 10/3, especially the second movement. Any faster and it loses character.
