Phil Collins and Sting look so like 'this is just for Paul because we owe him a cultural debt' 'we are not here but we are' Elton is thinking 'when is Paul going to let me play a chord?, but i am smiling and enjoying it for the fans, i also sang this one and enjoy it' one of the best showmen and ...

Billy Joel is a very gifted musician send by God to mediate between the harmful forces of depravity and poverty in music and decadence and purity. His chords are that of a skilled jazz pianist, his voice is that of a great synagogue cantor, a light but constant tenor. And he writes better in my o...

Dear All, who was James? Was it someone that used to play with Billy when he was starting out? It is as though Billy is angry at him. The music is some of the most classically or baroque influenced music that i have heard Billy play. It is a little harsh. Musically exquisite. I remember someone p...

It's funny i was at Fairfield Halls in Croydon where Arthur Rubinstein had appeared at a guest conductor in the early 1960's, he had not signed his photograph which is on the artist entrance wall. What a great pianist he is...to all our young pianists, start young like our friend Rubinstein. Ever...

Here is an artist who can really paint with the piano. The colours and dynamics are all so rich. Here is an artist that brings sober and delicate colours to the piano turning it into a vehicle of grace and wonder. Thank the Lord almighty for such a mirror into the soul of almightly grace and insp...

What a miracle from the Lord of Hosts! Where is he now?

Is it that Prokofiev is having a little joke with his superior and predecessor at Moscow and St. Petersburg, whose concerts are more sell out than his not so well attended ones in the States? Is it that they are in the same game? He is obviously inspired by this piece, but is drawing out its cont...

It is quite incredible that despite his stature and physical attributes, Sergei Vasilievich was an amazing interpreter of his own works because it seems he could play the full range of dynamics...ppp to fff...and prestissimo to largo. He is a remarkable composer and also a remarkable player of hi...

The thing is that Horowitz despite his excellent communication skills and potent transferrability and excellent interpretation skill just plays a tad too loud...this score is marked piano, i think that is was Sergei Vasilievich intended. If only Vladimir his colleague and friend would play the be...

Ia chitaio...NE mozhet chelovek... paraphrased: it is my firm conviction that anyone who is concerned only with the theory of music etc.. or does not know what it means to sing (inserted by author: or according to Larissa 'has not stood themselves as a singer') ought NOT to sing.
