I've heard of "phone sex", but I've never been called by anyone to listen to a piece of music. Andrys must have better friends than I do. [And, a much better phone. -Dave] My friends call to "chat", and I hate chatting on the phone; they call anyways. I get no respect. Me thinks that my little description (borrowed) of Tureck as the "high priestess of Bach keyboard playing" has led to some comments about how reverently we think of particular artists. Just to clear things up, I don't think reverently of anyone as a person. Yes, I think Tureck is superb in Bach, but that does not make her a superb person (whatever that is). Everyone has deficiences (except me). Don Satz [log in to unmask]
