Alfred Brendel and other great pianists I have met (and what they taught me)
I suspect I'm not the only classical music fanatic to measure my life not by decades but by revered performers who are now no longer with us. In my case the list is mournfully long, and another name was added this week: the pianist Alfred Brendel, who died at 94, though he stopped playing in public 16 years ago. One of the best perks of my job is that I don't just get to hear legendary pianists, I meet them too. I have to say, quite a few were eccentric, bordering on bonkers. Vladimir Horowitz always had mental health issues, but when I met him in 1986, during his 'comeback' tour at the age of 83, he seemed completely gaga. His wife (Wanda Toscanini, terrifying daughter of terrifying conductor) constantly butted in to answer my questions. I thought: 'How on earth is this tragically senile old fellow going to play a recital in the Royal Festival Hall?' Two days later I had my answer. Horowitz's famous 'flat fingers' — the antithesis of what every piano tutor teaches — skimmed the ivories at such mercurial speed that 3,000 people were on their feet cheering every piece. Music is indeed the last thing to go when the mind disintegrates. • Read more classical reviews, guides and interviews He wasn't the only pianist to produce jaw-dropping performances while struggling mentally. John Ogdon, the most phenomenally virtuosic British pianist of the 1960s, developed such acute bipolar disorder that he was eventually confined to a psychiatric hospital. Maurizio Pollini had a nervous breakdown in early adulthood, when (like many prodigies) he was pushed too fast into a relentless whirl of concerts. Then he wrapped himself in a protective cloud of such impenetrable reticence that interviewing him was like trying to tickle a hedgehog. The great Soviet pianist Sviatoslav Richter went through a phase when he would perform only if his 'friend' — a pink plastic lobster — was waiting in the wings. And the magnificent Chilean pianist Claudio Arrau (whom I met in his Long Island home, which was crammed with African, Etruscan and pre-Columbian artefacts) sought out psychiatric help throughout his life, but particularly after a humiliating episode in 1950s Australia, when he was plastered all over the newspapers for picking up a man for sex, only to find that the guy was a police officer whose job was to trap homosexuals. That Arrau had the resilience to resurrect his pianistic career after that speaks volumes about his character. • Alfred Brendel obituary: legendary pianist with an anarchic spirit I run through this catalogue of complex geniuses to put Brendel in context. Of all the great 20th-century pianists I met, he seemed the most grounded and sane. Perhaps that was because he never went through that pressurised child prodigy upbringing. The son of an itinerant Austrian hotel manager, he hardly heard — let alone performed — music during his wartime childhood. Indeed, he was conscripted to dig trenches. That early experience, I believe, imbued him with two lifelong beliefs. One, he told me, was that 'the world is grotesque and absurd'. The other was that, 'in an absurd world, manners require one to be graceful'. Those beliefs, I think, accounted for how he interpreted such composers as Liszt, Beethoven and Brahms. He could grapple with the 'grotesque' in their music — the psychic storms when the pianist seems to be locked in battle with some beast inside the Steinway. But he was also alive to moments of absurdist humour. 'If you can't make an audience laugh at the end of Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op 31 No 1,' he told me, 'you should be an organist.' (I don't think he knew I play the organ.) And everything Brendel did, in music and life, was governed by that second belief: that 'manners require one to be graceful'. I think by graceful he meant civilised — always being curious intellectually and expressing yourself (whether in music or words) coherently and courteously. Just as he regarded a 'steady temperament' as the key to a long performing career ('Being a depressive doesn't really help,' he said, when we were discussing a pianist mentioned above), so he preferred to think his way to the core of a piece of music rather than skating across it with razzle and dazzle. Indeed, he deeply distrusted music that too easily tugged at the heartstrings. Rachmaninov, he declared, was 'music for teenagers'. Above all Brendel was an intellectual, as curious about literature, the visual arts and philosophy as about music. I cannot imagine him living anywhere except where he did: in one of those quiet Hampstead lanes, meandering from the bookshops to the heath, that have been the haunt of literati since the days of Keats. Indeed, Brendel published several collections of his own poetry. Thinking he had taken up writing late in his life, I asked him when he had written his first poem. 'When I was a teenager I wrote 124 sonnets,' he replied, in a tone that said 'doesn't everyone?' No one is irreplaceable, even great musicians. Brendel, Pollini, Richter and Horowitz have gone but fascinating pianists are still around. My four favourites right now are Vikingur Olafsson, Yuja Wang, Emanuel Ax and Stephen Hough — but ask me tomorrow and I will probably come up with different names. • The best classical concerts and opera: our reviews Nevertheless, when great performers die, something unique dies with them. I wonder if Brendel realised that. I once asked him whether he saw any meaning in life. (Never accuse a Times journalist of asking trivial questions.) 'No,' Brendel replied. 'There is none. One should fill one's existence with things of interest. But why one lives is a question that is unanswerable.' I disagree. As with all musicians of integrity, his performances brought a great deal of meaning to life. My life, anyway. Although I love his story of driving late at night, infuriated by something playing on Radio 3. 'What idiot would mess up Beethoven like that?' he fumed to himself. 'That was Alfred Brendel,' the announcer said.

Holloway review — six former inmates open up movingly about life behind bars
As proved by the four seasons and 130 episodes of HBO's In Treatment, there are few subjects more innately suited to wrenching emotional drama than a high-stakes therapy session. And the stakes rarely get higher than in this documentary, a moving film about a five-day group therapy session for six women who were inmates at Holloway prison in London. • Read more film reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews Shot in 2021 before the building's demolition, it has a deceptively simple format. The women are returned to the crumbling edifice, placed in a seated circle in the old chapel and, under the supervision of a trauma counsellor, asked to explore the often harrowing psychological consequences of the prison experience. The tension is in the women's initial denial and the tough carapace of their coping mechanisms. Two of the younger subjects claim that prison life was a 'walk in the park', with one, Sarah, saying that she won't be opening up to anyone in the group because of her trust issues. 'If I trust you then you can do bare shit to me, and I'm not on with that!' she says. Her journey, and that of the film, will be a gradual softening and a breaking open into sadness, understanding and, yes, trust. It's niftily co-directed by Daisy-May Hudson and Sophie Compton, who are savvy enough to include scenes of the women objecting to the camera and establishing exactly how they will tolerate regular film-making intrusions. Hudson made the tearjerking social drama Lollipop, which came out last week, and is swiftly establishing herself as a directorial powerhouse. Compton recently announced that male film critics are wholly problematic and that, hampered by their gender, they are simply unable to 'understand' films made by women. By some miraculous stroke of good fortune, however, this male critic seems to understand Holloway. Or at least he claims he does.

William takes chemistry lesson with Cate Blanchett for Earthshot
Cate Blanchett has said that she will reconsider the colour of clothes she wears in the future, after touring clothes dye laboratories in Norwich with Prince William. The Oscar-winning actress joined the prince on a royal visit to the laboratories of Colorifix, a company that makes environmentally friendly clothing dye and was a finalist in the Earthshot Prize. The competition, founded by William in 2020, awards £1 million annually to five inventors who have come up with new solutions to help save the planet. The pair visited four different laboratories that each illustrated a step in Colorifix's process of making sustainablefabric dye. They heard how some colours, such as black, green, white and blue, are more difficult to make without damaging the environment. Their manufacture relies more upon using petrochemicals, which pollute the planet and are harmful to wildlife. Colorifix aims to replace the fashion industry's use of these chemically synthesised dyes by using DNA sequencing and natural colours to create sustainable dye. Blanchett said the visit had 'certainly been an education in colour and what is possible' and added that she will 'look at the amount of white and black and blue in my wardrobe and maybe try and gravitate towards pinks and peaches'. • Prince William tells Earthshot winners: Hope and ingenuity will save the planet The industry of fabric dying consumes five trillion litres of water globally each year and harms wildlife when dangerous chemicals seep into water sources. Wearing long lab coats, the pair were invited to look at DNA under a microscope as well as view the fermentation process firsthand, prompting William to joke that he wished he had paid more attention in chemistry at school. After learning about the technical DNA sequencing of natural colours, he said: 'Today has just made me realise I should have listened in all of my chemistry lessons. 'Going back over all those old notes like 'Damn, why didn't I pay more attention'.' • Earthshot Prize chief: Prince William is best possible advocate The visit marked Blanchett's ongoing support for William's Earthshot Prize. Speaking afterwards, the actress, who has won two Academy Awards, said: 'The DNA sequencing is incredible. 'And I think what happens in any scientific process — though I'm far from an expert — is that you get these incredible happy accidents. Like the discovery of a metallic sheen to one of the pigments.' In a speech to Colorifix's staff at the end, William praised the work of the company, which is now working with H&M, the high street giant, on some of its clothing. Orr Yarkoni, the co-founder and chief executive of the company, said the 'big difficulty' was trying to change the established supply chains of the fashion industry: 'We need to implement where the supply chain is. 'Rather than trying to get the industry to adapt to us, we need to do everything to adapt to the industry and make it easy for them to change.'
