The last word I was to hear from Piatigorsky's lips as I apprehensively departed Los Angeles to accept my first teaching job in 1976 were: "Denis, there are two kinds of people on this earth: the people who pick you up and those who want to pull you down. Stay close to the former and far away from the latter and you will be Ok."

I look back on my five years with Gregor Piatigorsky as the most important time in my musical and personal development. I had a unique opportunity to develop a close relationship with this great master and through him experience a direct and invaluable link to great composers and artists of a bygone era. This recording is a personal tribute to "Grisha," a means beyond words for me to honour my teacher and mentor. Those of us who knew Gregor Piatigorsky personally were touched and inspired for a lifetime.
