    RIP American pianist Van Cliburn

    I've looked and surprisingly don't see a thread about this. Sorry if there is or was. He died last Wednesday Feb. 27. RIP

    I was just going to start a thread when I saw yours. We've had RIP threads out the ass for character actors from the 1940's, but no love for Van Cliburn? Amazing. A shame really.

    I can't say that I'm that familiar with his recordings but his impact on the world stage was remarkable and his death is a true loss to the music community.

    I saw him several times in my youth - especially when his performances included Debussy material (my fav) - - - his interpretations were excellent and delivery superb.
