A lot of dark sounds
Macho Chopin.
Love his Heroic Polonaise No.6.
Right after Kempff, it feels stiff and mechanical. And undoubtedly light wieght next to Malcuzinski.
Powerful. Starts off with someone pour a bucket full of cold water over my head.
Well fit and lean.
Confident and majestic.
Brilliant.
As a contrast
Another one from her, while she is not my favorite player, quite ok
A little bit of classic Blue Note as usual on a Sunday morning. Music Matters [Blue Note 33 series] Vinyl Reissue 
'Nils Lofgren Band Live'
WAV Rip.
G
Music For 18 Musicians, from the Phases 5 CD compilation.
On vinyl
My first Hewitt's disc arriving here in the previous century (1999).
Ummagumma on Japanese CD. My favourite Floyd album - even if the group, and most of its fans, don't seem to like it. Never again (with the possible exception of the 1977 "In The Flesh" tour) did they play with such intensity, and, while there is a strong argument for saying their music got better, it was never as experimental.
She forms for me the standard in Mozart playing
G
Sumblime
The Brothers and Sisters - Dylan's Gospel
Quite good. To me, although very well done, "Lay Lady Lay" seems like an odd song to include.
Originally released in 1969.

Spot on Kev. I love Ummagumma, got it on Vinyl in the first few weeks of its release then saw them not long after that when they did most of the material. Cracking!
I am also a big fan of the film score for 'More', perhaps a bit disjointed but some excellent stuff on that album.

Brad Mehldau Trio "Day Is Done"
