...Green reached the finals of the "A" flight after two tough three-set victories over players from Colorado and Bowling Green. His finals opponent, the Buffalo's Maciej Dilaj, was the pleasant surprise of the tournament, beating Crimson sophomore William Lee, the No. 4 seed and top seed Artur Rusiecki of Colorado to get to the championship match...
...many of Liszt's once derided works is widely credited with enhancing the reputations of even these great composers. But it is to Beethoven's works that Brendel has returned most often. In the process he has become the most inspired interpreter of Beethoven's piano music since Artur Schnabel (1882-1951).

Deacon scoured...
...sharp contrast to Van Cliburn's rendition, recorded after his famed competition win in Moscow in 1958, which is tender, lyrical and full of the charm that captivated the Russians. Similarly, Great Pianists traces the varying interpretations of Chopin through the century--from Ignaz Friedman (tempestuous, uncontrolled) to Artur Rubinstein (cool, modern and free of excess) to Claudio Arrau (full, rich, warm). Given enough time, this collection proves, styles have a way of coming full circle...
