A high priest of music
A very nice review of Murray Perahia, one of my favorite pianists.
To hear the pianist Murray Perahia in recital is to commune with one of music’s high priests. So audiences typically savor his legendary concentration and unassailable technique in hushed form — granting him a degree of respect not always afforded other, equally famous, artists.
High praise indeed. I’ve never seen Perahia in concert. I’d better put that on my list! might as well dream big.
