  • @rolex452 I was 13 when I heard Mozart's Requiem which did it basically within the first few bars. Since then I have devoted my life to the sacred art.

  • Mr. Bronfman comments that Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #3 is the best way to introduce someone to classical music. By coincidence, when I was 10 years old, my mom bought me an AM/FM radio, and by sheer chance, while channel surfing through the FM stations (in New York City), when I heard the beginning of a piano concerto on WQXR. I just kept listening for the entire half hour and my love of classical music was established. What captivated me so deeply? The concerto #2 (what else)?

  • Bronfman IS Rachmaninov. No, seriously, Bronfman seems to me, gets into the essense of rachmaninov, maybe into the psyche of the exiled Russian in general. He is a titan of Russian pianism certainly up there with Berman, Gilels and Richter.

  • Two of my heroes, Bronfman and Rachmaninoff. What a treat. Thank you.
