Bach-Busoni Chaconne
A number of years ago a young Latvian came through here, and he played this among other things. He was kind of a holy terror when it came to distressing a tuning, though I survived.
But I checked out a number of his recordings on YouTube, and this one of the Bach-Busoni Chaconne I've listened to a number of times with enjoyment.

Some well above-average Ginastera:

Whimsical: Das Wandern:
(seems to be recorded a lot louder ...)?? Nice old piano

In this business, you never know whom you're going to meet.

Subject: Helene Grimaud...does it get any better?
So for probably 10 years or more it has been the pianistic artistry of French pianist Helene Grimaud that I have most often turned to, I had tickets to see her last year , of course cancelled, when she was in Boston with BSO several years ago for a 2 week spell playing Brahms 1 and 2 I tried to persuade BU well in advance to invite her to School of Music to give a masterclass, hey I tried! So this recording is a real treat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-VGFxm2zT4
If you're not familiar with her, listen on YouTube to Bach/Busoni Chaconne, and a lovely performance of Schumann Concerto.
