ClassicalRecords is a Youtube channel where I upload some excellent performances from the LPs in my collection. I'm uploading these LPs because they are either not available on CD, out of print on CD, or just difficult to find.

@ondineshimmers You're welcome!

[kirkusinthecircus]

wow he makes the 7 vs. 8, 5 vs. 8, the strange dotted rhythms, and all that other stuff seem so easy.

[theturbolemming]

Mmm. Such difficult rhythms, and a pain of a key!

[dkopitz]

Wow, he's got the banjo down!

[GeoJDr]

@unusualcatperson This surely sounds Debussy-ish and Ravel-ish. Andre Previn does a great job.

[martinjp1958]

What a composer [and performer]. The excursions say so much rhythmically and melodically.

[unusualcatperson]

His music is incredibly awkward and difficult to play, but it just sounds so damn good! You can really tell where he got his inspirations from (Debussy), and he does an amazing job of taking that style of music and making it unique.
