    They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

      Saw that - Byron Janis and Pollini - two great talents.

        Didn't Andre Watts pass away recently as well?

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          @George-K

          Andre Watts

          Yes, last summer

          I didn’t know that Byron Janis passed on last week. His Rach 2 was a warhorse.

          I always liked Pollini’s recordings. His Chopin etudes and Liszt sonata are among my favourites.

          Elbows up!

            As a teen, I had just started buying recordings. Pollini's Chopin etudes seemed like unattainable perfection.
