I consider Andsnes a terrfic young pianist who could be one of the "greats"
as his artistic maturity advances. I have his Nielsen solo piano disc on
Virgin, Grieg solo piano disc also on Virgin, the Rachmaninoff 3rd that
Mike mentioned, a Haydn piano disc, and a disc of 20th century piano works
on EMI. With each recording, Andsnes displays superb technical acumen and
insightful interpretations.
I think if Mike buys one or more of the above recordings, he'll be in for
a treat. I don't know anything about prizes except that I never receive
any.
