I am sorry I did not ever hear him live.I am grateful for these recordings! I have heard many recordings by Horowitz and Kissin and many of them are not
full of pure emotion, Sultanov was a true GIANT.

i never really liked alexei sultanov; felt that he was a bit out of control and his renditions were always so brutal. the true russian soul i think is exemplified more by the likes of the young horowitz and kissin where the burning passion is never allowed to get the better of the performer. IMHO.

Hah! I was one year old when this was going on

He was making me uncomfortable with his expressions when he was playing the Rachmaninoff Etude, it was so intimate!!...Of course that's a good thing.

@rbd1956 Alexei was a briliant,incredible,sublime pianist very unlucky.He was an incredible virtuoso.But when he suffered a serious stroke very soon.He died at the age of 35,in U.S.A.

@rbd1956 brilliant wasn't he? He passed... don't know the cause... ...only that the #$@# elite of classicial music didn't approve of him, and he was never properly appreciated. :-(

I had recorded this back in '89 and used to listen to it all the time. I loane it to a friend and it got away. There' s a St. Saens piece played by the dark haired girl that is just fantastic. We later saw the young Russian who won play at Portland State U. I have never forgot that performance.
