Anna is such a wonderful pianist......Schumann especially. I heard her at Marlboro Music Festival several years ago. WOW!

[@CHILDREN650]

*Anna Polonsky is one of the most musical pianists I have ever seen. Keep playing schumann, this fantastic duo. Weiss is brilliant, too, but I find Anna more attractive as a pianist. Especially when when she transfers to the different modes. So talented! My fav.*

That major ninth at 4:57 melted my heart.

[@piusottovoce]

...waaaait...is that Emmanuel Ax as page turner? :-)

[@parthoroy9141]

This piece was featured in the new Mister Rogers biopic with Tom Hanks

[@charlesmartel7502]

Yes, but they had Hanks and the actress playing his wife at two different pianos instead of together at one.

[@pachydermo]

Is that Emanuel Ax turning pages?

[@ashleyfrye6671]

No, looks like Jerry Springer

[@elliecat8693]

Looks Like Ax to me. He was there that year.

[@WilliamJCroft]

Yes, he is listed in the closing credits. And likely played on earlier pieces in the program.
