>Mozart’s music and Mozart’s orchestra are a perfect match. An equally perfect balance exists between Palestrina’s choir and Palestrina’s counterpoint, and I find a similar correspondence between Chopin’s piano and some of his etudes and preludes. I don’t care for the lady's Chopin, however. There is too much of the Parisian salon in that; but he has given us many things that are above the salon.

Kobayashi is probably one of my favorite current Chopin players.

I don't know if you've checked, Saar, but Asians are the only people keeping classical music alive.

that was either Leonin for modern music or some ancient babylonian if you count ancient music
