Ethan, I don’t know where you get the time to create essays like this, but I’m grateful. More than 60 years ago, when Community Concerts, Inc. covered the country with recitals by well established classical artists at very reasonable subscription prices, my first concert was by Janis. Not something one forgets even at my advanced age when shorter term memory is less reliable. His Living Presence LPs were staples of my parents’ stereo system, and although my affection for Rachmaninoff has diminished over time, his Prokofiev Concerto #3 still delivers!
Duly noted to strike the cowboy hat for 4/1 event in Palo Alto...("strike" in the sense of excise or remove, not in the Cage-ian sense of getting it to make a sound, or not...)
