I read his books and essays on film decades ago as a post-grad. A life well lived.
A thoughtful and perceptive writer on music, whose perspectives on piano performance in particular meant a great deal to me back when he wrote for the Boston Globe. The news of his passing surprised me – just saw him a few weeks ago, serving on the jury for the concerto competition of the Foundation For Chinese Performing Arts. I imagine his judgment helped them pick the right pianist, too. Thanks, Dick!
