From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

It was something about Johansen's replacing a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra on one or two days' notice in Beethoven's piano version of his Violin Concerto (a version Beethoven made for Clementi). Johansen had not known the piece previously, so he learned it in one day basically. And IIRC, he did use music in his appearance in Philadelphia. But he got a lot of acclaim for this appearance.

And, yes, I remember seeing the listings for all those Artist Direct albums Johansen made, but I never did actually hear one - I was definitely intrigued though. (BTW, I haven't gone to your link yet, but I will soon!)
