If only a studio would remaster this recital and others, I know they would have at least 1 paying customer 😊

Jorge Bolet, poseedor de una técnica impecable que le permite ejecutar con facilidad y completa naturalidad cualquier obra por difícil que sea, pero a diferencia de muchos virtuosos de hoy pone su técnica en función de una gran sensibilidad y musicalidad. Es un gusto poder disfrutar hoy de este excelente recital. ¡Gracias!
