Mark Stryker Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Via Alex Ross on Twitter comes this review that confirms what I have always known: Only a fool, student or disempowered underling would agree to turn pages at a recital. You can only fuck it up. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/sep/01/schubertiade-2015-review-world-class-musicians Quote
T.D. Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) Years ago, I read that Pollini slapped his page-turner at Carnegie Hall during a performance of Stockhausen.I could swear I saw the story in the NY Times, but online could only find this less reliable citation: http://www.concertonet.com/scripts/review.php?ID_review=1079[Disclosure: I consider the author Kirshnit a crank and long ago stopped reading him, but I trust him on the Pollini assertion. ] Edited September 2, 2015 by T.D.

StarThrower Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 If Pollini can free up a hand to slap someone, he should turn his own pages. Quote
