Recording "Sheep May Safely Graze"

Dear Greg,
I've recently found your Youtube posting of "Sheep may safely graze", and it's absolutely blown me away. I've been a Bach fan / player for years (only amateur), but I wasn't even aware of the Petri transcription until I saw your video. I've lost count of the dozens of times that I've repeatedly played it over the past month - your rendition just leaves me speechless (I've ordered myself a copy of the score, too!) Is it available on CD/DVD, and if it isn't, could you please please please release something with it on? I'm more thankful for your music than words can express.

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for your touching and heartfelt message. I love so many things about what I do -- especially connecting deeply with people on a regular basis.

The performance you heard on YouTube is not available on CD/DVD at the moment, but you are in luck! It is one of the few pieces currently in my repertoire that I plan to record for my upcoming CD project. I'm very excited about the project; it promises to provoke and surprise its listeners through a juxtaposition of familiar (and not-so-familiar) works for piano. With so much going on, it will be a while before everything is learned and recorded -- up to two or three years -- but it will definitely be worth the wait!

- Greg
