Probably the best value in classical music today -- if you are judging
by notes per disc -- is Boris Berezovsky's traversal of several Godowsky
transcriptions of Chopin, played side-by-side with the original.
Unbelievable that anyone can play this fast and this accurately.  And
it was a live performance!  If Godowsky himself played these at speed,
first, no wonder he needed X-rays; second, I bet they came out blurred.
