One of my heroes. In the place where heroes go, may my son become his friend.

Many thanks for posting this well done video.

Alexis, I never forget the time we spend together. I hope you are in a better place now.

Rest in peace without your sickness.

I am shattered to hear of his death. I heard him play the Chopin 1st piano concerto when I was a child. I was moved to tears by the perfection and sheer emotional power and beauty of the second movement. He is the only pianist I've heard who played it slowly enough to crystallize its beauty. I will miss you Mr. Weissenberg. You were a jewel of the best of our culture.

05:44 is quite something! do you know what the context of this is?
