For those wondering how Sherman's recitals of all 12 Transcendental Etudes
went Monday night, here is a review in the NY Times.  Excerpts below and

=== Excerpts ===
   By BERNARD HOLLAND

   At 70, Russell Sherman continues to tease us with his absence.
   He is by any measure one of the truly extraordinary pianists
   before the public, although in his case "before the public" is
   a relative term. But there he was on Monday night at Alice
   Tully Hall playing all 12 of Liszt's "Transcendental Etudes."
    . . .
   In "Wilde Jagd" the exhilaration was all mind and spirit; in
   the reflective pieces like the "Ricordanza" no moment was left
   unattended. Every note had purpose or, better said, a
   direction. More impressive than Mr. Sherman's pianistic command
   was the psychic stamina that pursued every note of music before
   him. This concentration never faltered through the stated
   program and the four encores I stayed for afterward. Age and
   the absence of constant public performance are the enemies of
   so many musicians, but not this one."
