                Yes indeed. He probably isn't a full-time performer.
                I think he was moonlighting.

                  The amazing 1st symphony by Hans Rott who died tragically young aged 25 in 1884. This work influenced Mahler who was yet to write his 1st symphony. The 3rd movt (22'08) is a particularly remarkable scherzo and we have to remember the composer was only 20.

                    Haydn - Piano Sonata in E-flat major, Hob. XVI:28

                    An absolutely delightful piece. I heard it on the radio on Friday and I had to go back to it for another listen!

                        One of the most beautiful discoveries recently has been this fine recording of all of Handels piano music (originally cembalo). I never had thought that Handel could also write such awesome piano works, not just Bach:

                        I can hear it over and over again - 3 hours!

                          Listening to the first set of Mozart Piano Sonatas that I ever bought - Daniel Barenboim. I like his playing, and I love the sound. The recording was masterfully done.

                            That's the set I have, and I agree - wonderful playing and sound.

                              This morning I woke up to a live recording of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. The radio came on right during the transition from the 3rd to the 4th movement. That was an effective way to wake up! Lorin Maazel was conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in a concert in Tokyo.

                                The three trombones and contrabassoon is one good way to get one out of bed!
