I recently attended a recital by Llyr Williams in a programme of works by Liszt, Debussy & Mussorgsky. Technically stunning playing with wonderful sonority from this young Welshman.

One would think that in a small country like Wales the so called "The Land of Song"an artist of this calibre would ...

I may have to correct myself here.I think Rubinstein plays double trills. I do not have ears adequate for the task of indeed fingers to master this gem.
