Tamás Vásáry

I've put it off for about one year or more but, today, I finally got my own CD recording of the Rach 3.

I've forgotten which version was supposed to be a good version, so I got the cheapest one left on the shelf. It sounds a little different as everything often does but it should suffice - the London Symphony Orchestra with Tamás Vásáry on the piano. I think he may be Spanish. Or he could be French. Frankly, I don't care and would rather he remain as the person who played the piano on the cheapest Rach 3 CD that I could find and bought on the afternoon of the 6th of April 2008. For this reason alone, I shall be grateful to him and the London Symphony Orchestra.

I shall harbour hopes of being introduced to him in person one day. I will tell him that his name sounds familiar and when I finally recognise him in time, I will tell him that he made a difference to me on the 6th of April of 2008, when I did not matter to him at all.

Maybe he will shake my hand and we will be friends, and then, we can go have mint chocolate chip ice cream together and wonder if it were made from crème de menthe.

Maybe Tamás is dead and I shall never be introduced to him in person...and it shall be very tragic for me to be anticipating an encounter. Will I only come to know his nationality from the internet?
