A nice discography...I have the same and have listened to it. Not everything is as clean as one would like, but he was a talented pianist and his work on Gershwin was exceptional.

Rachel is amazing. I have all her recordings. She and I communicate online regularly when she's not touring, practising, recording, teaching, or lecturing .... so perhaps not as regularly :) She is great though and oh so knowledgeable of her craft.

Did you know…
According to Paul McGowan of PS Audio…
Mahlers No.3 was the one favour piece of Arnie Nudell, founder of Infinity Loudspekers!

Love this piece!

This is a famous recording which has not been greatly favored technically. However, a remastering from HDTT is imminent.

Well.. that is maybe okay, but that doesn’t have anything to do with my statement.

What I ment was that Arnie Nudell loved and held Mahlers 3:rd Symphony as his no.1 music piece. And that this was according to Paul McGowan.

No more no less.

Understood and if Arnie chose this one, I would understand that. I wanted merely to add something and not criticize: If anyone is motivated to try this particular recording, there is a potentially superior remastering coming soon.
