Last concert I attended: Alfred Brendel, performing piano works by Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Beethoven. For, as Erik Satie said, the disadvantages of the piano are numerous, but its advantages approach the marvelous. Indeed, this concert was certainly no less than marvelous. As a critic so sharply pointed out, Mr. Brendel is an intellectual, and an intellectual's pianist, but he is not an intellectual pianist. This was a night of accessibility of the music of the great masters. As the coughing echoed and bounced off of the majestic chambers of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, the music shined through, as it always will. This is music for the people, by the upmost of people.
