"Dear Mr. Mikhailov,
Thank you very much for sending me your recording of the complete
Skrjabin sonatas. It is a great achievement. You are equally
good in the early as well as the late sonatas. Beautiful sound,
sensitive playing, precision and poetry. I like particularly
NN 4, 6, 8, 9, 10. You are a great artist. Is this recording
available in the West Europe and USA?
With my warmest thanks and wishes for a Merry Christmas, yours
P.Badura-Skoda "
