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

Funny - the guy who posted that ("maestrojimbo") is the guy I know!

He's got a lot of good comments too - I love this one: "I played it with the band in the fall of [Revelli's] '68/Bandorama concert. I remember he made all the woodwinds play the coda individually - one by one at a rehearsal. Chilling." ;-)

But also: "It seemed he [Revelli] sometimes took pleasure in ridiculing individuals, esp. when there were others to witness it. I always felt embarrassed for his poor victims. I often wondered if he was even aware of how unnecessarily mean he could be. He could also be incredibly clownish and fun, but most never saw that side. Despite all that he was bigger than life and playing in the Symphony Band was a religious experience for me and many others."

And, sorry. . . I know I've posted this before (but at least it was a long time ago!), but here's a performance uploaded by maestrojimbo of the Poulenc 2-Piano Concerto with yours truly playing Piano II in this particular performance. (maestrojimbo is conducting the orchestra.) I believe I'm still legally bound not to reveal who is playing Piano I here! ;-)
