Here's a great article by the pianist John Lill:

When I was in a youth orchestra, John Lill was the soloist in Beethoven's 'Emperor' concerto. We don't hear his name so much these days.

What an experience for you Peter! No, but he is still performing!

John Lill is a great Beethoven performer but he has some weird convictions:

He has more than once referred to seeing the ghost of Beethoven. Maybe he has.

I am familiar with this article and have Rosemary Brown's books. Well, I am a believer in life after death, so why not?
