Is he still alive and active? I don't know why, but I thought he was dead.

You have extended his life... it no longer sounds like arthritis problems, but he is conducting (unfortunately).

True Carlos, health problems coming up is bad ... but it's not because someone was A. ... that they can do whatever they want in music

I see that pianists recycled as conductors do not encounter much sympathy... Are they really that bad?

I recently purchased Ashkenazy's complete recordings of Rachmaninoff's concertos. I liked them very much.

However, for the 3rd, I prefer Bronfman's version

Is it just me who likes Horowitz's?

What do you think?
