...This is doubtless unfair, but it came to mind during Pollini's starkly Olympian, unsmiling performance of the Scherzo. I think his motives are simply misunderstood: his "straight-act" approach seeks to rescue great works from the vainglorious fireworks of unprincipled wunderkinden. He is in every way a musical aristocrat...
...about 1987, humor could do little to hide the estrangement. MAINHARDT GRAF NAYHAUSS, a German aristocrat, remembers a party in the Waleses' honor at the German embassy in London.

As the Sicilian aristocrat in Pietro Germi's wonderfully malicious Divorce Italian Style (1962), he is a creature of tics and slouches, plotting his wife's death and stalking the seraphic Stefania Sandrelli with the gait of a mopey Groucho. He made informed fun not only of these familiar Italian comic figures but also of his own star machismo. At the end of a guest stint on Laugh-In, TV's vaudeville...
