Not me, but I heard Sasha (not "Alex", pray!:-) a couple of times, live.
He is not *that* young now... once I've heard him playing Rachmaninov
Third--hard to judge because of the awful orchestra/conductor (so easy to
suffocate the pianist in this piece), another time with all Chopin's
Etudes--technical tour de force, little musical insight IMO. Very good
pianist, of course.

Haven't heard this disc, but I've heard him do Prokofiev 3 live and was
very impressed. Not only great technique, but musical as well. I think
he has the potential to be one of the great pianists in the coming
years.

There are, in fact, two -- father and son. Both are still playing the piano
actively. So one should always clarify which one is being talked about.
(Generally, the father is known as Alexander, the son as Alex, but I don't know
that that usage is consistently applied). I believe "Sasha" refers to the
father.

Whoops! Guilty of ignorance! Yes, I do know only the father
Do these Russians always travel in pairs? (-:
