First listen. Am in two minds about this music.

Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

Blimey! I'd have never guessed that Chen Tao was actually Harry (although I recall wondering in one occasion how come this guy knew me that well...).

Welcome back, my friend!  :D

Too many members on GMG knew already, so I stopped hiding myself. I will however keep my reviews on my own blog. I will post a link with image, so every one has the choice to look at it or not. I thought I had send you a mail concerning this Andrei, but I guess not.

Well Paul and I know each other well yes, but I never lived in China, although I would like too :)
Thank you Ray, as said, I was never away, but decided to go incognito for a while, but somehow my alias was not enough to prevent recognition.

The Natalie Dessay contribution on the finale track is not enjoyable, but everything else about this piano recital is extraordinary:



I read good things about two other discs of her, Mendelssohn and, I forgot, Chopin?

You certainly fooled me, sir! :) But, I remember reading what Chen Tao has been listening to and thinking "He's listening to some great stuff!" and, alas, here you are. 8) Welcome back!

Welcome back, Harry.  :)

Even if I (in retrospect) recognized something well known in Chen Tao´s broad listening repertoire, I didn´t strike me that it was you.
