Title: Somehow I missed this Bortkiewicz CD
Post by: Amphissa on Tuesday 06 July 2010, 14:30
 
The Forgotten Romantic, Keyboard Works of Sergei Bortkiewicz, played by Lloyd Buck on Rachmaninov's piano.

Trying not to let the misspelling of Rachmaninoff's name deter me, has anyone heard this CD?

I have this record... the playing is good but doesn't match with Stephen Coombs ....the sonata is another thing - Stuff the romantics dream about (Its a live recording BTW!!!)

Do they have anything much that IMSLP (http://www.imslp.org/wiki/) doesn't have for free?
