Hi, Hank ! I hope all is fine with you. Thanks for another great piece of critical analysis. Year in, year out, I read hundreds of reviews from specialized music publications. And year in, year out, your reviews rank with the best of them. And, for my money, whenever piano music and pianists are involved, you are second to none.

A note about my reviews: I neither seek nor accept compensation (either monetary or in the form of tickets or complimentary products) for my reviews. Thus, the reader can be sure the reviews, wherever I cross-post them, reflect my honest opinion, and are not slanted in order to curry favor or peddle influence.

Threats will be reported to the authorities. Anonymous comments are generally not posted. I publish my blog under my own name. Have some guts and do the same in your comments.
