James,

Thanks for the links...unfortunately, it looks like the BBC doesn't have the rights to video broadcasts outside of the UK, so those performances are only available on audio this side of the pond. Still very nice. There's some great stuff over on the CSO website right now too - a video of a "Beyond the Score" presentation about Tchaikovsky's 4th where you can see Izotov playing the great solo that opens the slow movement (like an obsessive I was trying to figure out whether he's using forked or left hand F's which was a topic of a past BBoard post). Also on the site is Izotov talking about and playing in Shostakovich's 7th (Leningrad); he really does a beautiful job on the solo there.

See Aug. 7 and Sep. 5 performances at:
