Extractions: David Helfgott Shines me by Rowland Barkley David Helfgott performs tangibly with soul, caressing the keys, touching the emotional fabric of the universe while he plays, creating much more than sound. He accesses something Divine and something human, linking them in a flow through sound. In keeping with his own enigmatic depth, his grand piano sits on a grand piano shaped stage in his lounge room, situated in Promised Land, Australia. He recently (February 1997) sat at the piano with me muttering: "It's all image, all image, if one image doesn't work, try another image and pianist is the image." My experience was as if he, as someone small and weak, caressing the keys lightly and seductively, was constructing an image as a focusing system. Then this enormous Divine power flooded through him, striking me with a blissful artistic shock that can never be put to sleep, but possibly can be tamed by artistic expression. Is there a Deep Self in the belly in each of us with the power and wisdom to shine inexplicably and powerfully beyond the cognitive self of the head? Is that what great artists are here to stir within us?

Extractions: KERRY O'BRIEN: Finally, the musical mystery making international headlines. Six weeks ago, English policemen found a young man wandering by the sea in Kent, probably in his 20s or early 30s. He was found dripping wet and clad in a suit and tie. Beyond that, social workers know virtually nothing about him. He won't, or can't speak, but put in front of a piano, he'll perform seamless classical music for hours on end. The fact that he cowers from any human contact suggests some serious trauma, yet he has retained his substantial musical gift. This report from David Sells of the BBC Newsnight program. DAVID SELLS: A quirky tale, almost a fairy story. The man, weeks on, is still unidentified and, yes, he does play the piano with real talent. Beyond that, we know nothing. It was on this beach near Minster on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent that this strange story began. Our man was discovered nearby on a windswept road. He was smartly dressed and soaking wet from head to foot. It was though he had stepped straight from the sea. And he uttered not a word. He was speechless, plainly very disturbed. More than six weeks on, the mystery remains - who he is and what he was up to. He was taken to hospital in Gillingham. All efforts to communicate with him failed. Hospital staff gave him a pen and paper, hoping perhaps he would write his name. But instead he drew detailed pictures of a grand piano. Shown a real piano in the hospital chapel, he sat down and delivered two hours of classical music, played rather well. Those listening thought they recognised excerpts from Tchaikovsky's
