One Regret

Yes, Serkin's is a perfect
recording of the Hammerklavier
Sonata, and this record should not
be missed by any aficionado of
piano music. Yet I do have one
regret, I must admit. Rudolf Serkin
has done very little recording in
recent years, and I, for one, wish
that he would make many more,
for his are not interpretations of
the moment; his are interpretations
for the ages.
