Jim and List, >ps, It has been my experience that the better the performer, without regard >to the instrument, the easier they are to work for and with. Has anyone else >noticed, or experienced, this ? Yes, I agree. Just finished working with André Watts on a series of 2 rehearsals and 4 concerts. He asked me to touch up the voicing a little. He particularly noticed the Bb's and F's getting a little strong. Since he was pounding out the Tschaikovsky #1 in Bb minor, I wonder why those notes were affected? =:) Just before the next concert, I told him I had accomplished what he requested. He got this gleam in his eye and gave a slight smile. "Well, then, I guess it's up to just me now, hmmmmm?" A real gentleman to work with and a fabulous musician, too.
