Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Peter Katin! 84 today.

I shall listen again to that lovely Grieg recital recorded by Olympia in Norway and superb!

Thanks for all your wisdom on these boards!

Seconded! I have several recordings on LP by Peter Katin, including one of the piano concerto in D flat by Khatchaturian, which I havent played for ages. I cant remember a note of it, so tonight I'll get it out and play it.

... the piano concerto in D flat by Khatchaturian, which I havent played for ages. I cant remember a note of it....

... I suspect there might be a D flat in it

Happy Birthday to you, Mr Katin.

It was your recording of Tchaikovsky's PC No 1 which introduced me to this work, way when I was a young teenagers in the early 70s. I still have it. It is very good.

This is true, but its a D flat I cant remember ...

I too have several recordings by Peter Katin, incl. Mendelssohn PCs. It was his recording (Olympia) of the Liszt Dante Sonata which introduced me to that work - for which many thanks.

Happy Birthday, Mr Katin.

just found the two Mendelssohn Concertos with the LSO and Anthony Collins on emusic; delightful, and belated happy birthday wishes maestro ...

... I suspect there might be a D flat in it

As it is also the key in which Tchaikovsky's 1st PC starts


Many happy returns, Mr.Katin (and, btw, it's Beethoven's most likely birthday today too)
