Byron Janis: Prokofiev; Rachmaninov...(Recorded By Mercury On Location In Moscow)
from: Philips
: :Prokofiev's Third was one of the concertos that appeared in the Richard Dreyfuss movie 'The Competition,' and Byron Janis's performance is generally considered to be more than competition-worthy. In fact, many consider it the best ever, also a function of Kirill Kondrashin's inspired accompaniments.

Alessandro Scarlatti: Opera omnia per tastiera, Vol. 1
from: Tactus Records
:Album Description:Recently, the importance of Alessandro Scarlatti has been reevaluated particularly as the real founder of the important 'Neopolitan keyboard music school.'

Alessandro Scarlatti's reputation at the beginning of the 18th century can be deduced from the enormous quantity of manuscript copies of his works conserved in libraries all over Europe. This is true, above all, of his keyboard compositions, which come ...
