David and all, Thank you David. It was Scott Davie's initiative to record the audio CD from which this track came. He is a very fine pianist, with an amazing ability to shape a work, particularly with respect to his sensitive use of rubato. Scott hasn't unfortunately been a household name, possibly because he's not one of those what-about-me pianists. He gave a copy of the CD from which this track came, Lilacs, to Vladimir Ashkenazy. Mr Ashkenazy clearly recognized Scott's talent, and he is booked to perform Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony and Rachmaninoff's original version of his Piano Concerto No.4, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO) at Sydney Opera House on November 21, 23 and 24. The concerts are already heavily booked, although there are still some tickets available. Here's a link to the SSO's whats on page http://www.sydneysymphony.com/calendar/2012/whats_on_by_month/ When the page opens, click under "Events: BY DATE", and select November The concerts featuring Scott are headed, RUSSIAN MASTERS: RACHMANINOFF AND TCHAIKOVSKY. The audio CD, Lilacs, can be purchased through Buywell Classic Music via the following link: http://www.buywell.com/cgi-bin/buywellic2/02145.html Ron O.
