Fantasies

• The earlier version of this CD (GLO 5002) has now been deleted and this new version in the 6000 mid-price series takes its place.

• Most of our international distributors have for some time now placed orders on the original GLO 5002, and we request them to place new orders for this number, because we have not kept GLO 5002 in backorder.

• No further sales points are necessary for this re-issue, since this is already a very famous and extremely well-selling CD, known to all of our distributors and their sales people, as well as to the shops. The handsome new design for the front will make this CD a very striking issue in any shop window.

 

Youri Egorov, whose tragic death occurred in the spring of 1988 at the age of only 34, was one of the major young talents to emerge from Russia in the 1970's. His nowadays legendary Carnegie Hall Concert debut in December 1978 is presented on this CD in a stunning live recording. It was hailed by the New York critics as: 'This program may have been the greatest piano recitals I've ever heard", "The biggest and most poetical young pianistic talent I have ever encountered", and "... to be so young and such a mature artist is wondrous".

This CD was first published in August 1988 on GLO 5002 as one of the first to appear on the then new Globe label and has remained one of the major sellers in our catalogue ever since. It is without a doubt the most fitting tribute to the memory of this great artist, whose reputation has not diminished and who is also admired by a whole new generation of music lovers who never had the privilege of hearing him in the concert hall.
