A beautiful, mint-looking 1958 EMI-ALP 1643 (looks like a 'Shaded Dog'
to
me) album of a peenist (whom I do not know) called Soloman playing Grieg

and
Schumann Piano Concertos with The Philharmonia Orchestra under Menges.


Solomon. Magnificent, underrated pianist. Heard him at the King's Hall,
Belle Vue, M/C, in the 50's. Have a tape of him playing Beethoven
sonatas. Well up to Brendel standards.



Prompted me to dig through my vinyl for a recording of Soloman playing
Grieg & Schumann piano concertos in A minor (Op.16 & Op. 54 respectively)
with the Philharmonia Orch just to give it another listen. Answer VVG+

Woah! That's the very one! - HMV ALP1643???

It's shinier'n a shiny thing now - it'll be on the go later on, for sure!!

(Really looking forward to it now!! :-)
