Indeed, this particular pianist has also recorded an excellent Grieg
Piano Concerto (on Classics for Pleasure - can't say who the orchestra &
conductor is offhand, because I'm not at home and I am using someone else's
computer for this).  He is also regarded as a particularly fine interpreter
of Chopin.  Peter Katin is probably better known in Britain & the Colonies
than anywhere else.
