Good taste in music! I love Clara’s Mozart, too. Wonder who Benedict’s favorite pianist is…
I couldn’t tell you. I suspect his favourite recording is “Hans Klebnemeyer yodels Beethoven” though.
I don’t know, but I once listened to a nice recording of a Schubert mass, conducted by Pope Benedict’s brother, Georg Ratzinger.
Tchaikovsky lived and said Mozart as his Musical Christ.
Said same as Pope said now.
Tchaikovsky LOVED !
Pope Francis shows excellent taste in pianists. Very knowledgeable.
If only God had given her good health instead of all these debilitating diseases…she was often in great pain. But her Mozart was divine indeed.
These are legendary performances by a wonderful, truly wonderful pianist. Good choice!
