John rushes Michael to a hospital emergency room where he is informed that Michael s only hope is a transplant. Unfortunately, John s insurance won t cover his son s transplant.

It s always difficult to play Franck s two masterpieces, Prelude, Choral et Fugue and Prelude, Aria et Finale , since it is not intended to show off a pianist s virtuosity even though technical demands on him/her are still very heavy. Mr. Hough plays these pieces very nicely. His technique is exceptional (For example, listen to his Finale . Martellato playing is astonishing.). Also I heard his deep affection to these pieces. However, the best is Troisieme Chorale by his own transcription. Even though there are many transcriptions for this Franck s swan song, Mr. Hough s transcription seems to be the most well-written. He utilizes a wide range of keyboards in order it to sound like organ, yet plays this really pianistically.
