<font color='navy' size='2' face='Comic Sans MS, sans-serif'>Hi Ron<br>
<font size="2"><font face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif"> Having heard your pianos up close and personal in Reno and in Rochester, it is my opinion that the recording is very, very much like being there in person. Also that cut is one of my favorite on the Lilacs Album. The trebles are crystal and golden. Clear as bells,ear candy, insert any metaphor you want. Not like any I've heard before or since. When I first heard those trebles many years ago now I said " I gotta head in that direction" tonally.<br>
In fact as Jacob my son has grown musically ,taking piano lessons again I would play some of my favorite music, saying, hey, just listen to this. I played the Lilacs album. He said can I put this on my I-pod.Now he loves Rachmaninoff. He loves the sound of the piano.</font></font> <font size="2"><font face="Comic Sans MS, sans-serif">I am sooo shrewd.<br>
Thanks<br>

<div>David and all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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,<i> Lilacs</i>, to
Vladimir Ashkenazy. Mr Ashkenazy clearly recognized Scott's talent,
and he is booked to perform Tchaikovsky's<i> Manfred</i> 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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The concerts are already heavily booked, although there are still
some tickets available.</div>
<div>Here's a link to the SSO's whats on page</div>

<div>The concerts featuring Scott are headed, RUSSIAN MASTERS:

One of my favourite pieces of piano music. I'm enjoying playing the
mp3 through my stereo. Very interesting to hear; the recording
quality; the piano; the playing.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
