Brendel on K, from the Osborne book:

- [Tharichen Piano Concerto] was the only time we worked together, and one of the few occasions when I played a piece with which I could not identify.

-Always greatly admired his Italian opera while, in the German symphonics, there were others who impressed me more

Interestingly, both men are mostly autodidacts
