Conversations with Nick Canellakis: Emanuel Ax 

Years later, I’m still amazed people don’t get this is a musical parody like Between Two Ferns. I mean we’ve all taken pianists for granted.

What happened to your other conversations? (Emerson quartet, Ida Kavafian..) Those were hilarious!

Love Emanuel Ax - a true gem ... and what a sense of HUMOR! ... who the hell are these other yahoos?

always loved your creativity and originality, Nick!!!

Love these conversations, different perspective to know musicians, thanks!

Please put out more conversations! they're so entertaining.

Manny, you are a SAINT.

Love it, Nick and Michael! Too too--too funny!

great, as always!

It's fantastic !!!

Too funny man

super!

What *is* your fingering for the last movement of Beethoven 1, the opening?

Songs??? What is Emmanuel Ax doing here.

OMG...My pal Ben sent me a link to YYM and Manny on tthe New Yorker channel. You guys are like inverted retrograde visionaries...sort of. XOXO Uncle Daddy

...not that I would go there during daylight hours...😂

Haha, this is hilarious! What's up with all the grouchy people in the comments? Thanks to Mr. Ax for being a good sport!

not remotely funny or entertaining. Mr. Ax deserves better than this. He is a personable and self-effacing gentleman, and a very fine pianist. Why waste your time with him on this drivel? I bet he never agrees to another interview with you again.
