    And you waited 9 months to comment on his death because you
    thought it would be inappropriate to call somebody who had
    just died "second class," right?

    When all those Demus - Badura-Skoda recordings were coming out,
    reviewers noted that they were to a greater extent than most
    created in the editing studio, by snipping together bits of
    takes that didn't have any wrong notes.

    I have heard a number of his recordings. Trustworthy, even
    if not always exciting. Second class, but in a positive way.
