I'm your fan since I'd heard your performance of the Schumann's Pappillons. I would like to say for you: never, never, never forget that you have all necessary for be one of the greatest pianists of our century, but also remember that you needs to be personal. Please remember that the creativity is all. Only with him we can made one new and personal performance. In our days, many pianists gives priority for rights performances, But they don't thinks that was the creativity that gives the fame for somebody like Cortot or Horowitz. Thank you by this privilege on your blog. Good luck on your run, it's not easy but you have the keys for open the doors. I'll waiting for news.

Fascinating series of programmes. I had been waiting for your segment to come up -- after Alessio Bax, Javier Perianes, Lang Lang etc. -- and today (Sunday afternoon) I finally caught yours. What a remarkable man is Barenboim, and what a remarkable pianist are you. Did you record the sonata before or after the Masterclass?

I am also compulsive about setting 2 or 3 alarms, and for a while I've been thinking that my fears are unfounded, but you have just confirmed that it is a good thing to be as paranoid as I am.
