Good program choice George. While he doesn't do the best Op 13 I've ever heard it's still very good. However, his recording of Op 90 is head and shoulders above everyone else, including Solomon. The Nocturnes speak for themselves.

Thanks. Might I ask who you do like in Op. 13?

It's very predictable for me George - Richter/Moscow/June 4 1959.

Yes, that's the first name that came to mind as I typed the question. That's the Melodiya, right?

Yonti Solomon! He is a wonderful pianist, I have already heard live 3 times. A shame, that he didn´t record many cd´s. He played all Ives piano works in a project with BBC, but none of it are recorded, he said.
Do any of you know him?

Yes, though the Parnassus is just as good but in poorer sound. Did he ever play this again after 1959?

Not according to Trovar. Given what I have heard from his 80s and 90s LvB, that might be a good thing.
