<DIV><SPAN class=273591918-02062011><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Just a short
word.....last night as I was drifting off to sleep, I put on his lecture on
Beethoven's "Waldstein". It is not to be missed. He brings a
Gouldian depth to his insights and coupled with a fabulous technique,
sensitivities and respect for the ultimate "urtext" meanings including paying
close attention to Beethoven's own hand written notes for how the piece is to be
played, I found that lecture to be one of the finest I've ever heard. I hope to
make my way through the rest of his fascinating lectures....a worthwhile
adventure. GG would be pleased at all that insight.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
