Thank you, thank you for posting this rare recording. Zak is unjustly forgotten Russian pianist. The second movement is beautiful, but must be heard in relation to the outer movements as Ravel directs us into 20th century with, perhaps, a nod towards American jazz and Gershwin. Zak's playing in those outer movements is extraordinary.
Beyond music.
