They told me this was a Polygram-Universal product. I looked on Mustonen's web site and, indeed, he apparently records exclusively on Decca (London). So I talked to my Polygram rep who could find nothing on it, but had some information to the effect that the Op. 87 will be coming out in April played by -- are you ready for this? -- Ashkenazy! Don't tell me this repertoire is finally going to enter the mainstream. Perhaps there's some justice in the world after all. That's if you believe everything you hear. Perhaps I should wait to have all these new versions in hand before I get too excited, though. By the way, much though I admire the Nikolayeva, there are times when she loses it just a bit. With each new recording I'll be hoping that the pianist has supplied N's deficiencies while emulating her strengths. I don't ask for much, do I?
