The whole idea behind sound recording is supposed to be recreating the sound of a performance as accurately as possible. This ideal has been sadly neglected.<br /><br />Keep up the good work, Boom.

Don't pay for it, he gives it all away on his web site, where he has days and days of manicured, lifeless renditions that might have been made by a computer having been shown the printed score and told not to get carried away. The electronic piano is the icing on the cake.

Regarding the comments of "laybl" about the Morgan library manuscripts, with their "deletions, cross-outs, marginal notes", never intended for public perusal, but all the more fascinating for it: is this not also applicable to a studio recording?

He used to take all his medication at once so he would have a couple of hours when he could work without shaking hands. His works from his last years have that sense of the impossibility of turning back or revising.
