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 č 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 cosě: "..and now go home to study,it's difficult".
Addio,maestro Boris.
Daniele
bellissima!
mi associo al cordoglio

Reply RE: BP Totally surprised...
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.
RIP M. Pergamenshikov
