this version departs in several places from the standard one (you can look up sofronitsky's for instance) but i like it better, but cannot find any music! do you know if it actually is a separate edition by Liszt or if Brumberg is adding his own stuff?

[nikolaimedtner]

he plays his own stuff, there is no score out there. glad you like it!

Is there more of Leonid Brumberg than this 3 pieces?

I truely like the way he's playing!!

Its wonderful

[nikolaimedtner]

i will post more as soon as i can

I think this one is more downright disturbing than the first one, the first one being more on the dramatic side. Completely different mood. The third one is completely different in it's own right, being more dreamy and impressionistic.

@vivch22 yes it sounds beautiful older recordings sometimes have the edge

[vivch22]

Thanks you SO MUCH for your Brumberg posts! His playing is awesome. This version makes all other ones sound pale. I think I'll be listening to his playing a lot from now on... all best wishes.

[TheKarman666]

Amazing sound. Your Prokofiev 7th Sonata is amazing.
