Dear parents and friends,
Once again, thank you for participating in my last student concert Colour in Monotone. At the concert, we received help from parents and their relatives to record the concert and produce a DVD. The DVD is about one and half hour long and is recorded in PAL format which is viewable by any typical DVD player. The DVD contains a complete musical performance by all participants. This DVD is available for order for $100. All proceeds will contribute to cover the expenses incurred in the making of the concert. Please let me know if any of you are interested or have any questions.
Thank you.
Sandy
The most difficult thing- but an essential one- is to love life, to love it even while one suffers because life is all. Life is God and to love life means to love God. (From Tolstoy “ War and Peace”)

Romantic Russians - Piano Music of Bortkiewicz and Catoire
Concert Recommendation
Sergei Bortkiewicz and Georgy Catoire were two towering figures in Rachmaninoff's circle who have left us some extraordinarily beautiful works. Their music is now largely forgotten due to their timidity and failure to promote themselves at that time. Few recordings exist, and their scores are hardly published nowadays.
Bortkiewicz's piano writing reflects strongly the Chopin-Liszt tradition, while Catoire wrote with an heavy French accent. These precious works are, for the first time, brought to audiences in Hong Kong.
