She was also interviewed by your own Beeb on Radio 3 on saturday morning but I missed it. my Dad said it was very interesting and she was very full of beans for an octoganarian.

I'd be interested to see that interview in the Indy. Will pop to their website for a look.

Perhaps though I prefer Gould's energy and Tureck is sublimely calm and full of inner dance. Lipatti is a little polite for my liking.

You should hear Sokolov in partitia #2 - awesome power and concentration, and complete sense of direction. I have theories about the minor partitas....
