| Classical Music for Aficionados I find Trifanov’s performance of the 1st and 4th Concertos effective but the 2nd and 3rd not so much. Its as though he’s sleepwalking through the 3rd, perhaps trying to be original. Volodos’ rendering is wonderful. Katia is quite an imaginative ... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados A miracle indeed! | |
