What about that recording drives you crazy? Howard sounds like he came straight from a Mitchell Lurie lesson except that he likes that wonderful vintage Chedeville sound that stays round and sweet even in the altissimo. His interpretations are fresh and rhythmically robust. I especially like the way he keeps the rhythm and sound organic, flowing, and subtle in the Hindemith instead of becoming metallic and robot-like with a nasy stridency the way lots of players do in that piece. His rapport and blend with the pianist is quite good.

So, what's not to like?
