This is the third recording and an 80th birthday tribute to the amazing Valerie Tryon, whose pianism and musicianship are totally undiminished as her long, glittering career provides ample witness. The Rachmaninov Piano Concerto, as well as Strauss Burlesque and the DohnÃ¡nyi Variations, have long been in her repertoire.
