"This is a virtuoso at his prime, at times excelling his youthful performances of Scriabin, Scarlatti, and others. No musical library is complete without this DVD." (review)

"Well, a DVD conserving a complete concert by one of the greatest of all pianists, with the added emotion of his return to his homeland after 61 years, doesn't need pushing from me. I just want to make one last consideration. My memory has been tested against the documentary evidence and has proved oddly selective. So what about pianists from further back in the past, whom we can only know through people's memories of them. Do these memories, too, exclude the stinging-nettles and the midges?"
