All has been said! I havent heard from him Grieg 'Erotik' [Lyric Pieces, Book III Op. 43] before, beautiful! The Scarlatti jewels are impeccable, of course. Granados, well... refined and folkloristic at the same time. Great Chopin, the beginning, an aristcratical approach, simply wonderful, perfect! Schumann, what shall I say..without words, Helen!! The linking words were nice and funny. Thank you for posting this!
The Grieg Erotik I own is contained on a 2-CD Italian Gramofono 2000 set AB 78675.76, The First Recordings 1939-1943, which includes rare fragments from those years, and features new remastering with Cedar Sound System noise reduction. The surprise to me in the BBC is the last Scarlatti, which I don't know of elswhere. The 2-CD set I refer to also contains a snippet of a Vivaldi concerto, and to this day I can't understand how he plays it with less than three hands. The additional early recordings are, of course, splendid. Of course! I'm glad you enjoy this. Thank you.
0:46 GRIEG: Erotik; 6:10 BEETHOVEN: Sonata #32 in c, Op 111; 35:52 SCARLATTI: Sonatas in C, D, A, and Bb; 52:45 GRANADOS: Andaluza; 1:01:06 CHOPIN: Sonata #2 in bb, Op 35; 1:30:33 SCHUMANN: Carnaval, Op 9.

He died in 1995 and this broadcast is 1 year after his death.
Glenn Gould used to cancel concerts at the last minute as well. I guess you can get away with that if you're as amazing as those two pianists!
