Please show some respect for my finances. I'm really enjoying my Takemitsu discs. I think he may be nudging into one of my favourites.
Actually, this is the recording by the Fujita trio I was thinking of.  Just listened to it.  A superb as I remembered it.  It was a favorite of Mirror Image too.


Florestan



Disc 1 of 4.

If you like Chopin, you'll probably like Tellefsen too (he was Chopin's favorite pupil and his intimate friend).

Few LPs are as much fun as this one :

Edit: BTW, happily, the Tudor Records Label still exists:  http://www.tudor.ch/catalogue.php?sid=l0p1g@@fg@mYp1bx@f88kO0ko2  How many titles in their catalog do you own? Love their trademark slogan: Musique Oblige

Thanks, on order. I think I would have ordered it anyway just because of the cover art.

That is the only thing I miss about LP's. Some very fine art, big enough to contemplate.
