I will be happy to discuss the detestable Mr. Kissin with your wife--have her email me.In the 1940's and 50's, despite the presence and activities of masters such as Horowitz and Schnabel, Serkin and Kempff, do you know which classical pianist sold more records than anyone else (until 1958 and Van Cliburn that is), was lionized by fans, praised by critics, and maintained a superstar aura whenever he appeared in recital or with orchestra? You'll never guess.
It was Jose Iturbi.
So much for popularity contests.
