At the age of 12, I was already a Gershwin fan. (32 years ago!).

So, in the present time I have a good *bunch* of different versions from
his wellknown works.

Some years ago a friend of mine (Hamradio) sent me the Grace Castagnetta's
Concerto in f (piano solo) transcription.

No, no, no, my idea was not *playing* the "easy" work.  (believe me!).

I had been (during many years) expecting a *courageous* pianist able to
cope with such work.

Well, about a week ago I found a Stradivari CD (1988) with Norman Krieger
playing the Castagnetta's transcription.

I would like reading some comments (opinions) about Krieger's performance
and/or Castagnetta's transcription.

Thanks in advance.

Dave.
