Total Playing Time: 83'47 Comments: Berger said: György Ligeti: "... but if I am allowed only one musical work on my desert island, then I should choose Koroliov's Bach, because forsaken, starving and dying of thirst, I would listen to it right up to my last breath." Fanfare: "In October 1992, I attended a conference in Groningen, The Netherlands; it was ostensibly devoted to the work of Glenn Gould, but the pianist who stole the show there (in his own modest way) was, in my view, Evgeni Koroliov. At a sparsely attended noon concert in a small venue, Koroliov came out, looking deadly earnest, all in black, sat down, played The Art of Fugue, got up and left. ..."
