Van Cliburn is 66 and making still another comeback, with a concert at Tanglewood. “Mr. Cliburn gives the impression of being utterly content now and not too inclined to excavate the past afresh. He lets on at one point, as if revealing a deep family secret, that he’s thinking about performing Bach again, the E minor Partita, maybe, and he floats a program for a scheduled Chopin recital in Boston that is so preposterously long that it sounds like a fantasy of a young pianist in the first flush of success – as if, no matter how stressful the stage may have been all those years, it is still the locus of his imagination.” – New York Times
