Privileged to have been in two masterclass , 1969 and 1970 with Badura-Skoda, Brendel a n d Demus. Enjoyed his friendship. This Schuman playing reveals his artistry 😊.
Certainly Schnabel's dictum, "Safety last " in Demus' rendition of the last movement 😅! Pollini pales in comparison....( heard him in Amsterdam..) Another great performance y e a r s ago.......Leonard Shure.....😊
Died last year, as did his great friend Paul Badura-Skoda. They were a great generation of Viennese pianists, these two, Walter Klien, and Ingrid Haebler
I was (very) far from imagining that our "lieber Demus" was able to play "that" in "this" way , o lieber Gott , this is devastating , nicht "so" schön wie Horowitz , aber so echt und bluttief . . . .
