From: Dlouhy Jonathan <dlouhy@-----.net> Subj: [DR-L] Leon Fleisher CD Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 23:04:28 -0500
I've just heard the best recording I've heard in many years. It's Leon
Fleisher's first solo piano recording in 40 years using both hands. As
many of you may know Fleisher has suffered for more than 35 years with
dystonia of his right hand which has prevented him from playing the
piano with both hands the entire time. About two years ago, thanks to
some recent discoveries into this malady the use of his right hand was
restored and he sounds more amazing than ever. This is a must-have CD.
Check out the URL below. There is a link on the home page to the
recording. It's a little pricey, but part of the money goes towards
further research into this disease.
