Hi Everyone,

Here is our interview with Gilles Vonsattel, the Swiss-born American pianist who won First Prize at the 2002 Naumburg Competition (William Kapell, Jorge Bolet...). He performs with the San Francisco Symphony this Saturday.

As always, thank you all very much for reading, and hope you have a great week :)

Never really heard of him, but he seems like an intelligent and nice person. I will take a listen to him as soon as I can :)

Thanks, as always!
