Big thanks! Those Aluminum CD MFCD's are very difficult to find in the Internet.
Another mystery for me are the release dates of MFCD's.
This one is not 1983 release (it is Russian original from 1983).
In the booklet we can see it was released between "UDCD 502" and "UDCD 503" which makes the period between "04/1987" and "08/1987" according to MoFi out-of-print archive.

Hi :)
Unfortunately this was the info the album had, when I came across it on the interwebs.
This rip wasn't made by me.
Tried to search additional info, like I usually do for my rips, but was unable to find extra-info :(

Glad you enjoy it :)

@ MrGreenfinch - I think it may be that it's the "original recording" that is copyright/published 1983. MFSL CDs often quote the original copyright and publishing dates, but the remasters are produced some years later (in this case probably about 4 years later, based on your info regarding serial numbers). CD/digital technology was still quite poor in 1987, but since so much of the sound quality is down to the mastering-from-analogue-source part of the process, I'm sure this will still sound superior to many CDs. In 1987 mastering was limited to 16 bit, whereas these days it's generally done at 24 bit (or greater) then dithered down to 16 bit for standard audio CDs. Maybe mastering directly to 16 bit (with no dithering/bit conversion) is actually an advantage. Who knows. I'll just trust my ears!
Thanks for the share Blinking Spot :)

Thanks so much, a wonderfully spirited interpretation of the two works, and it made me aware of yet another great pianist of Russian origin.
