Van Cliburn

The Times has a nice obituary for Van Cliburn who passed away today.  There's a video in there that documents the importance of his winning the Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in 1958.  Although i never saw him perform in person, I did see him interviewed live at the NYPL a few months back.  It was strange to be in the presence of a man who was about as famous and influential as a classical musician can be in the American culture.  A young pianist played some Chopin for him and as he started to praise her performance, he began to cry.  Have you ever seen an old man cry from beauty, and not from pain?  He was an incredible person.
