...exactly a poor age for the piano. But no need to fear the historians' old canard about each epoch of artistic plenty being followed by drought. The best of today's pianists are already being pressed by some younger challengers, among them Vladimir Ashkenazy, 38, the Russian-born star who now lives in Iceland, and Italy's Maurizio Pollini, 34.
