Klaus is a superb music intellectualist. He is by all measure a genius in his own right.

Agree. His intellectual depths re understanding of music, is well beyond his years, as yet he is so open, friendly and honest in his interaction with others, nothing artificial. I am not a musician but I hope to his concerts for years to come!
