the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

Ooh, that looks wonderful!  Let us know your thoughts.  I only know a few choral sacred works by Grechaninov.

It's very nice. Think Arensky or Glazunov. Well played and recorded.

Quote from: Mandryka on May 18, 2014, 11:06:52 PMI'll just mention a couple of Iberias I'd like to hear, just in case you have them. Benita Meshulam's and Rosa Sabater's.


I don't own those.  My next acquisition here will probably be Peter Schaaf, another pianist I've never heard.
