Truly a master of the instrument, and a man worthy of the Greats. The end of an era ...
God bless you, Mr. Cliburn. I hope your gift inspires artists yet unborn.

My only claim to fame: I shook his hand once.
He had a lovely warm smile and a charming, quiet manner.

I just finished listening to his performance of Tschaikovsky’s Concerto No. 1—a stunningly beautiful and difficult piece played so effortlessly by a phenomenal talent. RIP brother.

What a pity the whole world knows about "American Idol" and "The X Factor" and all the rest of those crap TV competitions for half-wit karaoke performers, and almost no one outside of the classical music world knows about the
Cliburn Foundation or the
Cliburn Competition.

Classical music from a Classy guy.
Glad that my mother and I both saw him perform. (Also Arthur Rubinstein). Compare him to what the non-classical music industry passes off as talent.
Thank God there are more talented classicial pianists, violinists, and singers being trained to preserve classical music.
Van Cliburn - RIP and music
