NO MO’ BEAUX
Classical pianist Menahem Pressler has died aged 99. After debuting at Carnegie Hall in 1947, he saw his most lasting success as the bedrock of the Beaux Arts Trio, a piano trio that cycled through various cellists and violinists whilst Pressler remained the only constant. A German-born Jew who fled the country post-Kristallnacht, he paid occasional visits to his homeland in the 20th century and made his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic aged 90. Pressler was a longtime DDP perennial via the Dead And Dusted collective, and Reptile’s B Team took it to a duet this time around after noting a picture at his 99th birthday that screamed “not everyone that makes it to 99 makes it to 100”.
