@kasyapa

i just mentioned that for amusement =)

[aewanko300]

how fitting. hamburg is where he started his international career.

[kasyapa]

i said just tonight that i'm sure it was a deliberate artistic gesture. he said in 1986 that his return at year to russia brought an "aristotelian unity" to his life.

[aewanko300]

btw, does the program seem similar to his recital in vienna?

[kasyapa]

very much so.

kasyapa - the DG notes for the CD say that he also played the Schumerb G flat Impromptu, but it was lost for technical reasons. Do you happen to have it?
