[Drasko]

Good news methinks.

great news and that is a real dedication to a fine young gay Russian pianist who died of aids before his time (just stating the facts). His live material is still best, but that Schumann is might good.

Facts aren't always relevant.

I'd say that, to me at least, these are interesting.

This ought to be a very fine box. I already have the Schumann and Debussy in earlier two-fers and cherish them. Too bad more Bach couldn't have been scraped up. His 6th Partita (live) on Channel Classics is near ideal for me, being ever so slightly on the legato side for a bit more buoyancy - but still keeping it 'Bach'.

Has anyone heard his WTC bk.1?

I'll almost surely be buying this set. I do own some of Egorov's recordings on LP, but on CD they are incredibly expensive in the used market. Amazon lists only a few of the previous budget twofers, and they invariably range from 60-something bucks to $299. This generous and most affordable release will knock the props out of those prices...and that's fine with me. But it's access to this much music from this talent that will be most welcome.

Excellent news.  His Schumann set is superb, and I've been searching for an affordable copy of his Debussy for a while.  Given everything else in the set, I think I shall buy as soon as possible.
