Thanks for the videos...I've been reading up on him a bit, and he's seemingly as entertaining and witty as he is talented. I think I'll try to catch him live sometime.

Also wish I had enough knowledge of Chopin to fully appreciate the second video.

if you like that style of music, you might find this pianist - rian de waal - playing a godowsky strauss paraphrase interesting.



( terrible video, audio barely passable, but amazing playing. )

and since we're on pianists, are you familiar with horowitz?

I'm not very knowledgeable of pianists, to be fair, but I have heard of Horowitz.... He must be one of the better known pianists of this century, given the frequency with which I've encountered his catalog.

Currently a bit obsessed with Ivo Pogorelic, after a chance encounter last year.

then you might enjoy this horowitz channel.

i've not been able to warm up to pogo, though he can do some amazing things with color and time. what was your encounter?
