Iron Butterfly?
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida!!
That would be interesting.
I’m doing great Norman. Hope you are too.
Fine ;-)
Something about this story just smells bad. This fellow's name is Zimmerman -- clearly a German name, but apparently grew up in Poland.
Well, what kind of German would be accepted into Poland, oh say, forty or fifty years ago? Only one kind, I'd suppose: Communist members of the regime.
So here we have an Eastern German -- in other words a Prussian, who presumably knows a little bit about military desires for world conquest (!!), and also from a Communist background -- remember, folks who also "want to control the whole world."
And what does he do? He projects what he knows all about (desires for world conquest) onto something he knows absolutely nothing about -- the US military.
I'd say more pathetic than anything else.
This moron who’s playing is so cold and too analytical needs to shut up.
Give me patriots like Horowitz, who gave the greatest performance of the Tchaikovskiy B-flat Minor ever at a 1944 benefit to sell war bonds, any day of the week.
Don’t believe me? Just listen to the recording of it with the NBC Symphony under daddy-in-law Arturo Toscanini.
You think so?
It can’t hold a candle to Gavrilov’s, Rubinstein’s, Moissewich’s, or Hamelin’s Chopin.
Zimerman’s playing is too analytical, too careful and mannered, and he refuses to gamble.
I’d rather have edge-of-your seat excitement instead of note-perfect sterility.
Paderewski was president of Poland between the wars, and quite successful.
