    Schwan is 5.3% better than Rubinstein.

    Education is extremely important.

          @kluurs Interesting story about the singer. LOL

          My first thought on hearing the performance was that her voice seemed much more mature than her age.

            My piano teacher Thomas Schwan is doing a small tour playing Chopin's complete nocturnes. I noticed he'll be around where a few forumites live. He's previously played the complete WTC1 and WTC2, and the houses are not always packed, as you can see from the videos. I wish I could have gone to his recital near Dallas tonight. He'll be in Chicago in November. I doubt the houses will be packed, if his WTC recitals are an indication.

            Listening to his Bach WTC I now. Just about 5-6 minutes in and I am enjoying this immensely.

              Emmylou Harris and Mark Knopler. Really good concert video. The did an album together - "All The Roadrunning", which is actually quite good also.

              Here is one song from the album (and concert)

                They are both remarkable artists.

                Probably my favorite Knopfler/Harris collaboration.

                Not live, but, still.

                Harris is 77 now, and Knopfler is 75.

                Geezers.

                    I've always liked Mark Knopfler's guitar playing. It was such a pleasant change from all the mindless shredding that was so popular back in the 70's and 80's. And his writing is great - every song a story.

                    I was only joking

                      Came across this singer and have been enjoying her - Gillian Welch

                      Here are a couple of her songs. The first is not her own. It was original from a US country singer called Johnny Cash. She mostly collaborates with David Rawlings.

                      and one more

                          Overall, this is the most brilliantly curated song list. Ever. Thanks!

                            Free Sirius XM week, so Little Steven's Underground Garage. Best station ever.

                              @mark

                              Superlative arrangement and playing. Effortless technique.

                              Oddly I donโ€™t see her on Qobuz although she has recorded at least one album.

                              Elbows up!
