	This fragrant bon-bon of Leopold Godoswsky is one of his most beloved -- and elegant -- compositions. This performance was actually part of a film that I made in concert in Amsterdam in 1977. That was an odd experience. Half of it was filmed while I played aboard an open boat afloat in the canals of that great city; the other half was filmed in the historic Koepelzaal. It was all so fanciful and romantic, a kind of dream, really. But it was also part of another adventure during a most magical summer. Indeed, in London only a few days before I made this recording I had the great and singular pleasure of having gotten to know, thanks to mutual friends, the wonderful and spirited Ava Gardner. I dare say that event was still very much on my mind when I gave this performance of Alt Wien
