You are welcome.
The first record album I ever bought was Van Cliburn. I was about 14. One side was Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto 1 and the other was Grieg.

Quite the Artist. I'm waiting to see how Fort Worth honors him in the coming months.

"Music is such a part of life," the ever-effusive Cliburn said in a 2008 interview. "It's like breathing, like nourishment. And the classics are so important, because within the realm of classical music you have eternity and infinity, and mathematics and architecture, and spirituality and wonderment - so many things."

Van Cliburn was (and still is) one of my greatest inspirations. I heard him play about 5 years ago, and he still had his flair and charisma. He also still had his chops.............it was quite an experience to hear him.
