He was someone whose work - the interpretation - meant a lot to me and will continue to do so. I was lucky enough to hear and see him several times. In mourning for this brilliant musician who never placed his interpretation above the composer and yet it was precisely his own interpretation that made it special. This is how he interpreted interpretation. With gratitude.
