"I love the piano and those who love the piano. The piano as a medium for expression is a whole world by itself. No other instrument can fill or replace its own say in the world of emotion, sentiment, poetry, imagery and fancy." (Leopold Godowsky, 1870-1938) On this YouTube page, I share my favourite historical recordings and artists, as well as some recordings of my own playing. NO COMMERCIAL PURPOSES WHATSOEVER. Please also visit my 36 playlists! If you are interested in (some of) the historical recordings I posted, please buy the ORIGINAL transfers from the best specialist independent labels, such as APR, Arbiter Records, Biddulph, Dante, Marston, Music & Arts, Naxos Historical, Pearl, Testament and VAI Audio. They have the best sound quality. Enjoy my channel, mainly dedicated to V.S.O.P. (Very Superior Old Pianists)!
