By the way, the one person I know who is an expert in classical music is very ill, in rehab after cancer surgery. His name is David Schryer. I knew him from the days when my first husband and he worked at NASA. David's heritage is German. His father was a piano tuner and expert in instrument repair. In his youth before immigrating to the US, he traveled with several European orchestras. David sends me collections of various artists and singers. His taste is excellent, especially in opera and piano performances. His favorite pianist is Weissenberg, a rather low-key fellow with only a few recordings. David has them all. <div>
<br></div><div>I certainly hope that he survives. He is my oldest friend and the most knowledgeable person about music that I've ever known.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Anita<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi Pat,<div><br></div><div>In this country not many people pay attention to classical music. A very tiny few. And nobody knows any birthdays or dates of death of ANY of them. A few people know about GG, but they know little about him. It just can't be helped. Time marches on.</div>

<div>( OT: Please note that there is at least one mistake in this article. The
first CD was introduced in October 1982 and not 1978 as the article claims.
What’s it with journalistic standards these days ? Does Research equal
Copy/Paste nowdays ? And that with the NYT ! )</div>

You can either listen live, but there is a possiblilty that the program will
later be available as a download. It better be, decent people work at that
time ! </font></div>

birthday had on mainstream media (outside Canada). Either GG has lost the
importance he once had or something else went horribly wrong....</font></div>
