Different strokes for different folks.  For me, those Feltsman octave
displacements, where he uses the highest notes the piano has to offer,
are very damaging.  They sound precious and prissy to these ears.  But
I do remember that some of his variations were outstanding.  As for
availability, I also don't think the disc is in print.
