I can't imagine going to Russia to compete in a piano competition at that time - then winning. Van is the kind of Texan that better represents how Texans should be seen. Courageous, bold and gracious. Thank you Van

god hes so great...

[mandyschulz]

das ist alles sehr schön,fast ein bißchen zu schön wie in einm hollywood-film - rachmaninoff spielte seine sachen recht objektiv ohne pathos -

It's wonderful to see not only how rapt the audience members are, but also, the orchestra. A sublime musical moment.

Those Russians are suckers for a good tune... and so am I :-)
