  1. Incredibly impressed, and then moved beyond words by both artists.

    I will hear this often, Sean. Thank you!

  2. I wasn't very clear. By both artists, in this post, I meant Berezovsky and Mussorgsky.

    I couldn't compare one pianist to the other. Such different style... As you say, much to discover. :)

  3. Claudia,
    for me Fazil Say has more charisma, however, Berezovsky - in his way - is brilliant, too.
    There's much to discover. :)

  4. Ha ha, just had deleted the reply you are refering to, due to a dtected typo.
    You are right, it's diffcicult and probably would be unfair, to compare them.

  6. ... ahem ... only to produce some more.
    Won't delete this, though. After all, imperfectness has a certain charme of its own.

  9. Thank you for another treat, Sean! Pictures at an Exhibition is a perennial favourite of mine, and this piece in particular has thrilled me since childhood. When I was young it sounded so epic, so intense and so strange that I wondered how it had come from a human mind at all.
