Yes!! I have so many of his records. I love his Mozart performances. Happy to see he made it to 94-- still, we'll miss him! I am glad you are also an Alfred Brendel fan. p.s. I read Earl Wild's book ... hilarious ... and he referred to Brendel as "Al Brendel." I could never get that out of my head.
Marty, thank you! I am never leaving it behind again! The trouble is, though, you can't exactly lean down in the middle of a number and take a swig, you know? So I am going to need more advice.
Yes. You do have to wait for those little breaks where Steve is making comments. Although I would say, if you're really in a spot where you can't even sing anyway and a quick swallow is going to get you back in, you can go for it even during a piece.
And, please raise a glass for Alfred Brendel ❤️
