Here is a true story from Verbier 2005. Lang played the Rach 2. The next day, both were in the cafeteria. “Mr Pletnev, how did you like my Rachmaninov?” MP: “I hated it. Stare at a picture of Rachmaninov for 20 minutes and see his aristocratic eyes, then you’ll realize how stupid you are.” Can you imagine??
