Hi Everyone,

Hope you're all doing well. Here is our latest interview with the Curtis Institute's Gary Graffman. Mr. Graffman was kind enough to speak about his brief encounters with Rachmaninoff, Hofmann, and Tatum, attending Glenn Gould's Town Hall debut, Horowitz' Medtner repertoire, and of course, the criticism directed towards Lang Lang.

As always, many thanks for reading :)
