That makes two of us. Her Lugano Concerts are a sublime treat, one and all.
I was fortunate to see Manahem Pressler with the Beaux Arts trio AND in a series of solo recitals at the National Gallery of Art in DC in the late 80s. Pressler was a pupil of Egon Petri, and he could play anything. His sense of color and beautiful peddling were a marvel. I remember a brief comment he made to the audience before playing Ravel, something about the works being full of elegance and grace. Many modern pianists just don't seem to get this, and they likewise miss the easy lilt and playfulness of a Chopin Mazurka or the sighs of regret that can come through a reading of a late Brahms intermezzo. Masters like Argerich, Freire, Woodward, Fou Ts'ong... they do. At least to my ears, my mind, and my sensibilities.
