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><br></div> <div>http://www.sydneysymphony.com/calendar/2012/whats_on_by_month/</div > <div>When the page opens, click under "Events: BY DATE", and select November</div> <div><br></div> <div>The concerts featuring Scott are headed, RUSSIAN MASTERS: RACHMANINOFF AND TCHAIKOVSKY.</div> <div><br></div> <div>The audio CD,<i> Lilacs</i>, can be purchased through Buywell Classic Music via the following link:</div> <div><br></div> <div>http://www.buywell.com/cgi-bin/buywellic2/02145.html</div> <div><br></div> <div>Ron O.</div> <hr> <div><br></div> <div>At 8:53 PM +0100 4/6/12, David Boyce wrote:</div> <div><br></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial">Ah,  thank you for posting that Ron!<br> <br> One of my favourite pieces of piano music.
