Just in: Berezovsky is dumped by his agent

Productions Sarfati, which has global management of the controversial Russian pianist Boris Berezovsky, this morning severed all professional contact with him.

In a statement on its website the company says:

On March 3 we unequivocally condemned this unprovoked aggression and stated our support for the Ukrainian people. Our company has represented the pianist Boris Berezovsky, an extraordinary gifted artist and paradoxical individual, for almost 20 years. 

We strongly condemn the comments he made during his TV appearance and we must sadly suspend the representation of Boris Berezovsky by our company.

The statement has been issued in such haste that it signs off with the wrong date, March 7 instead of March 17.
