This week I heard for the first time Shelley's recording of the Scherzi
of Chopin.  He played these scherzi exceptionally well.  And if this is the
same artist as the one who records the complete Liszt I am truly amazed.
It is as if I heard in Chopin a completely different - and far better
pianist.

1) Is Howard Shelley not the one of the Liszt- recording? Or:

2) Am I the only one to hear a difference? Or:

3) Has Shelley more affinity with Chopin?

 complete Liszt for Hyperion.  I get the two confused all the time too.
