You mean Cliburn's Tchaikovsky recording with Fritz Reiner?

Yeah, you can tell people that Bach was one of the first piano salesmen. That should confuse a lot of people!

I don't currently own the CD of my Cliburn recording of Tchaik #1 because someone "permantently borrowed" it. But I think he did Tchaik #1 with Kiril Kondrashin. The CD had a Rachmaninoff Concerto coupled with it. But that is the recording that I revere, made right after his huge success at the Tchaikovsky competition.

Had no idea Bach ever touched a piano. I wonder if he ever played any of them "WTK" tunes on a pianuh? :-)

Bud Powell
Count Basie
Duke Ellington
Cecil Taylor

Hey you should check out Alfred Bendel's solo piano version of Pictures at an Exhibition, it's really different but excellent. I'd also add Emil Gilels to this discussion, I have his complete set of Beethoven piano sonata's and they're all very good. Sviatoslav Richter's recording of Lizst's piano concertos 1 & 2 are also excellent.
