| His 20 recordings for Connoisseur Society include the complete Beethoven Sonata Cycle, complete Chopin nocturnes, Wagner-Liszt transcriptions, complete works of Grilles, two-piano discs of Bachmaninoff and Brahms (with Cynthia Bairn), and programs of Debussy, Delius, Mussorgsky, Schumann, Czerny and Joe Utterback. The Mussorgsky was played in its original, more rough-hewn version, not the more-polished and far-better-known Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov edition. Russian culture reached its apogee in the music of Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky; the books by Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Turgenev; and the theater of Stanislavsky. |
