Glad I saw him play last year. Remarkable career.

I always had a fondness for his work. Have you read his autobiography?

I have not. Is it good?

His recording of the Beethoven concertos with Szell and the Cleveland was my favorite for years. The sound isn't great, but the playing is wonderful. His influence will live on through his teaching as well as his performances.
