[bummy33]

I wish he recorded the op 48 no 1 nocturne :( I would love to hear his interpretation on it.....

Having now the knowledge of this pianist born in the time of Chopin! One get a taste of the musical flavor of the time! It is a joy and wonder to have heard such a recording of such a great artist of the real Romantic Period. Thank you "d60944"

This is a very nice performance no matter how you look at it, as an etude or as a lyric piece. I like it very much. Thank you for the upload.

This is much more like THE "natural" water effect that the metronomic objectivists always claim for themselves,equating their non-fluctuative playing to nature.BUT IT'S PRECISELY THROUGH A MILLION ONGOING MICRO-FLUCTUATIONS THAT THIS SOUNDS,,,so natural,AND EFFECTIVE.

@smithsherman it's more like a harp. rather than referring it to a "waterfall".
