Alicia de Larrocha (pf), Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Sir Georg Solti (con), Decca, 1985
Her unpublished recordings of Mozart's concertos nos. 24 & 26 with Solti are released. Her performance of Mozart's works brings me a peace of mind without exception. |

Chopin: Scherzi / Preludes / Sonata No.2 / Etudes etc. (2/2)
Ivo Pogorelich (pf), Grammophon, 1990, 1998
Specially priced series covering his unusual recordings of Chopin's works. The sensation for 24 Preludes at the time will be genuinely eternal. |

Medtner: Piano Music
Nikolai Demidenko (pf), Hyperion, 1992
A selection of Medtner's excellent works, which should be highly regarded in the late Romantic style. Demidenko carefully picked up and steadily played three sonatas and other tastful works. |

Sergio Fiolentino: The Best Recordings (2/10)
Sergio Fiolentino (pf), Piano Classics, 1996, 1997
At first listening, I am very surprised that a genuine pianist existed until recently. His performance sounds so natural and organic, which can be felt, particularly in Schubert's pure works. |

Marhler: Symphony No.1 / Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No.3
Yuja Wang (pf), Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Claudio Abbado (con), 2009
An attractive live concert at the Lucerne festival. This year I had a chance to hear her amazing performance of the same concerto in Los Angels. |

Duke Jordan Trio: Flight to Denmark
Duke Jordan (pf), Mads Viding (bs), Ed Thigpen (dr), Steeple Chase, 1973
A memorial recordings that first brought nostalgia with deep sorrow and desolation in nordic flavor. Listening to his music, one can accept one's fate with resignation. |
