This concert was performed at the Musicvereinsalle in Vienna and was broadcast throughout Austria and most of Western Europe. Rudi was 85 years old at this time. He died three years later and is buried in Vermont. No one has ever played Beethoven with such passion and beauty in the 20th Century before or since, save perhaps Richard Goode and Micio Horzowski. This man was loved and admired all over the world and by me especially. David Demers Woodstock Valley, CT
