Looks as if he died earlier today. He was born in 1930 and was definitely one of the great pianists of the twentieth century.I was fortunate indeed to have gotten to know him a bit better than many were able to, since I was a student in one of his master classes in the early 80's, I helped him with a lecture he did at Stanford, and I had dinner with him and his wife twice.
The recordings he made on the Connoisseur Society label were fabulous, but there were some great recordings he did for other labels too - one of my favorites is the very personal Schumann Concerto / Franck Symphonic Variations he did with Neumann and the CzPO on the Supraphon label.
RIP.
