Robert Williams, FAAR 1991 writes:
He was possibly the most brilliant person I've ever known, and his character was even more radiant than his mind. The first time I heard him play Chopin I wondered whether he wasn't Apollo-in-hiding, as in Heine's short stories about the afterlives of the Olympian gods. I just don't know what to say. Even tho' I hadn't seen him or heard from him in many years, such was the impression that he left on me that I feel his loss as if I'd seen him just recently, and I will never forget him. I can only imagine what those of you who were closer to him must be feeling. Something extraordinarily rare and precious has been lost to the world.
