Then Andrei Gologan [who is-- @Florestan alert--Romanian] is present only on Two Landscapes.
His website makes no mention of harpsichords, so I'd presume he's not part of the Sonata for Guitars etc.

Presto doesn't specify that, only mentions the orchestra and the conductor on that piece.
The current annihilation of a people on this planet (you know which one it is) is the most documented and at the same time the most preposterously denied.

I agree!
