You are welcome!!

Try his Chopin Waltzes.  I am still waiting for his Chopin Etudes to come
out on CD. I tried burning my LP of the Etudes onto a CD, but the fidelity
wasn't so great.  I must have played it too much.  I haven't heard another
set that is as good as Anievas'.  If they would just put his Brahms
Variations and Fugue and Paganini Variations on CD, I will be happy.
