Paul Lewis Remembers - Alfred Brendel

In tribute to Alfred Brendel, who died in June, accomplished musician Lewis explains why he considers the Czech-born Austrian classical pianist both his tutor and mentor. One of the leading musicians of his generation, Lewis describes how he came to know Alfred and considers their shared backgrounds - both coming from families with no inherent musical ability. He also reflects on Alfred's approach to his work, believing the piece far outweighed the importance of the performer
