Mi dispiace moltissimo, probabilmente stava male in quest'ultimo periodo e questo spiegherebbe l'annullamento della sua esecuzione del concerto di Schumann a Milano qualche settimana fa. Ho ascoltato diverse volte Pergamenschikov dal vivo,e sempre si è distinto per la gentilezza con cui trattava il pubblico che lo andava a salutare in camerino. L'ultima volta che l'ho incontrato,all'auditorium di Largo Mahler a Milano nel 2002, mi ha addirittura fatto fotocopiare le parti di una trascrizione di Piatigorsky che non riuscivo a reperire sul mercato congedandosi così: "..and now go home to study,it's difficult". Addio,maestro Boris.

Years ago I tried to study with him in Cologne, and of all the teachers, he actually wrote back to me with a post card saying he was going to be on sabattical. While we never met, I was touched that he took out the time to write to me- most professors woudln't even bother to reply.
