I saw this wonderful documentary on the Knowledge network last night called "The Art of Piano."
It was about famous concert pianists and the differences between them.
The show covered pianists from Rachmoninoff to Rubenstein to Glen Gould. It was amazing!!!! Of course, my favorite pianist of all time is Vladimir Horowitz. When he played he could make you weep! Incredible.
