| Pavel Egorov
piano
In Egorov’s play we find strong individuality, independent technique, deep feeling, tremendous energy, rich variety of sounds, confidence, elegance, will and courage, but the main feature is a rare sensuous strain. The pianist does nothing special for obtaining the effect; the music owns him completely-
