I once pulled a dirty trick on someone who loves Martha Argerich and hates Lang Lang......... On the classical station, he overheard a long time favorite Argerich performance of Prokofiev's 7th Sonata, but he missed the announcement and beginning of the piece, and didn't know it was Argerich. He asked me during the performance who was playing, and I said "Lang Lang"....... After it ended, he immediately told me it was the "worst piece of crap" he's ever heard. Then the radio announcer mentions the piece and Argerich's name. I swear to God, the guy wanted to kill me...........
