I'm in love with Martha Argerich. My wife Tanya has known this for years and she's managed to live with it. She didn't mind when I went to see Martha perform three times in two and a half days at Carnegie Hall (she was playing different programs!) She barely mentions it when she finds me listening intently to Martha's recordings staring longingly into the distance. The only time she “pulled rank” was when Martha happened to schedule her first (and to date only) solo recital in 30 years at Carnegie Hall exactly on her due date (March 22nd, 2000). Our son was born a few days earlier. which still should have given me ample time to get to New York for the recital, but somehow Tanya saw things differently. I'd like to believe that Martha scanned the audience from the wings and queried, “Where is that fascinating man with the large nose and the glasses that is always here when I play? I'm not going on!” but was somehow persuaded to continue anyway. I still have a nagging feeling that Martha was testing my loyalty and that I failed.
