A lot of thanks.His performance was magic.
What recording did you use? As a producer, and through his record label TNC, Ukrainian-American composer Virko Baley has released a series of CDs containing rare recordings of Ukraine born pianist Sviatoslav Richter and of the Cleveland Chamber Symphony, the latter earning him a Grammy Award. Is your recording from those ones?

It's spelled Рахманинов, there's no correct English spelling since it's not in English... What he had in his passport was Rachmaninoff I believe.
