  • I heard Pressler and the Beaux Arts Trio in California several years ago - it was the most incredible performance; Pressler's art is genuinely altruistic.

  • He hit the nail on the head in the last 30 seconds......It doesn't matter how successful the teacher is at all........instead, it is more important to teach and nurture the students as separate individuals and to create meaning out of music. This is what my first teacher did......He created the spark that turned to the flame in my love for music! Knowing how to teach to the "individual" is paramount in bringing out the BEST in each student.

  • What a nice, modest man. And, boy, can he play! Not showy, but really intelligent and comforting. Just like he sounds, in fact. I just finished listening to the beaux arts Brahms piano trios - fantastic! Mozart, Haydn, most trios you can think of, he's recorded them, and they are all second to none... IMHO... and according to most critics...

  • This is a great human being.

  • That's the adagio from Beethoven's Clarinet Trio (Gassenhaeur Trio)

  • anyone knows which composer is played at 2:30?

  • wonderful pianist and teaching art is really bringing light, when it is made by such a brillant man

  • he is brilliant!

    Very nice interview! All he said is true.
