Tipi´s comments

A nice entity, though unfortunately I don’t know the Ginastera. But we’ll soon be hearing Lomakov play it. The original version of Chopin’s op. 3 would be more suitable for a piano competition, because it’s extremely difficult for the pianist. In this version Gendron has made the cello part a bit more difficult.
Own pianist. Good!
