Bwhite, about a year ago I was introduced to this CD by Roy Johnson of Green Mountain Audio. I had gone to the factory for an audition of his C3s and had taken what I thought was the finest piano recording I'd ever heard. We played mine, and it sounded really good. Then Roy asked me if I wanted to hear the best piano recording ever made? More than a little curious how he was going to top the one just played, I said "Of course."
The recording was done by an artist named Horzowski, whom I had never heard of. Horzowski was 94 years old when he made this recording, but don't let that stop you from buying a copy. Without question, the most real, live sounding recording of a piano I've ever heard, and a damned fine performance as well. If you disagree on the sound, your system isn't letting all the information through.
