  • UH!

  • I love Abbey Simon...great pianist...i used to have cassette tapes of his works when I was kid...

  • Thank you. I've only heard Simon today for the first time with his Chopin Sonata 2 final movement, which I thought was astonishing.

  • Abbey is fantastic.

    His recording of Chopin concert #1 and # 2 are wonderful.

    His recordings really touch my heart I never got tired to hear.

    God bless this great pianist.

  • This was so wonderful for me because I studied with him about 37 yrs. ago when he was teaching at Indiana University, and I haven't heard him speaking since about 1974. What a lovely man. And what an amazing pianist. He told me once that he had learned a Brahms Piano Concerto in 2 days so he could fill in for Van Cliburn. Imagine that! I can't! Ha!

  • @troppofiato still touring

  • Wow thanks! This was a very good and short video. Exactly what I wanted to see and hear.

  • He teaches at the Moores School of Music at University of Houston (Texas)
