  • A live recording of Sgouros in Rach 3 with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra/Jesús López Cobos was recently broadcast in perfect digital satellite quality. Download it here as mp3 (recording circa mid-1980's):-

  • If a guy has no talent, no hard work will make him talented. Talent is not a matter of motoric facility. It includes all other facets to be an artist. Personality, emotional capacity to express musical feelings & imagination into sound & and project it to his audience. Most if not all are in a way or the other were prodigies who are making it in this profession. There is no need to be prejudice about it. It's t way it is!

  • Real talents are formed by good training right from the time they started their first lesson with the right teacher - who is both a real musician & pedagogue. Every teacher never really knows who becomes a genius or not,until a child comes for their first lesson. But not because they are prodigies, that they don't work very ,very hard beyond their age!!!! Sad to say, many had missed their childhood just playing the piano, and still failed to have a career!

  • Not that I'm disputing that fact but how would you know if it's true or not?

  • No, Lazar Gozman the guy with white hair

  • Herbert von Karajan was your violin teacher?

  • Richter says (he has no reason to lie) in an interview that it took him 4 days to learn Prokofiev Sonata No. 7, a week for Rach concerto No. 2 and 2 days for Chasse neige (transcendantal study) by liszt.

    Believe me, its true
