That's really a great story, Romy. I'd love to see his face then.
I have an opposit one, also from Midori's book. One day, Mravinsky's wife put on an LP of Stravinsky's "Apollon Musagete". Mravinsky screamed, "Oh, my god! This makes me really miserable! What a wonderful performance, what a beautifull, expressive style! My orchestra will never be able to do this!" When she told him that it's his own performance, Mravinsky burst into tears. It was a bootleg made in Germany which was given to her from her friend.
