Wonky but wonderful piano play, (one just needs the right frame of mind)

Fantastic record quality allows the full depth of drama to be expressed, 
op.38 fuels my madness to pitch point perfection,
shame it's such a short CD,
i need more.

Back to the weird wonky wonderfulness...

i did say i needed more : )

Among the best performances of these works, wonderfully recorded with enormous presence of both piano and orchestra. Davis and the BSO provide much more than support for Kovacevich' finely nuanced and balanced playing. 

Cheers,

First listen all the way through. Corrine has a superb voice & KJP's guitar playing is extraordinary.
