Nov 8, 2008 - He was soooo cute! and so sincere. The charisma (not a small factor in his legendary success BTW) just drips off him! I doubt there'll be many, if any, more like him.

Dec 4, 2008 - This man was one of the greatest pianists and musicians of all time; the YouTube videos of his live performances are some of the most amazing things I've ever heard, especially the Tchaikovsky First and Rachmaninoff Second Concertos with Maestro Kondrashin.
