I like his more pastorale liszt playing. Part of his annees are nice. I also like some his schubert. Heās sort of the anti Uchida and warms up the music a bit. Everything elseā¦ dunno whats going on there.
Whoah, slow your role compadre. Donāt insult my queen.
only in schubertā¦ I like her mozart and her debssy tudes insane
For that kind of tidy schubert Iāll take pires.
They are both my Queens. Uchida is a legend. I donāt care what you mofos think.
On a side note, this is one of my favorite scenes from da Office.
Back to the topic, her Schumann Carnaval is da best evah.
Ehh, itās not black or white. Taste ultimately is subjective at some level. I personally find his playing dull and uninspired more times than not, and I absolutely loath the pretentiousness. Hey, some people might think heās an incredible artist. Thatās fine. There are other famous artists I can name that rub me the wrong way, but Iām sure spouting them on this forum would either be redundant or would just step on peopleās toes.
I think his Haydn Zons!
Heās fine in that sort of rep, but shouldnāt go anywhere near
Imo this is a disgrace
the section from 2.50 is especially sheeyat and displays a complete failure to understand the layout of the orchestral original, heās the one whoās needing to attend a masterclass tbh.
Also, his sound and tonal colouring is plain crap.
Then why is he revered?
I donāt know, and tbh I donāt care. Every musical standard I hold dear (plus a lot of time with this piece) tells me that is crap playing. Maybe heās just not temperamentally suited to this kind of material. Itās a very square, unemotional, almost crude sound world, take it to classical playing where he can get away more with it. If I was teaching Iād tell him to think in terms of curves not rigid lines.
For someone who is such a pedant about observation of the composerās intentions, heās fairly unobserving of the dynamic markings.
Later on his recs sounded good ,engineering wise) and he was smart to concentrate on cycles so consistent release streams over decades
Tbh when people (I mean critics) talk about āgreatnessā I suspect how well you play 
is very low down the criteria, and even then they have odd ideas. Iirc the Gramophone recommendation for da hung rappahz is Szidon, ffs. I mean, heās perfectly competent, butā¦

Does anyone play well touring Japan? I can think of Keith Jarrett, and Kempffās Beethoven cycle which was decent, if not very technically secure (and Deep Purple, of course), but then I struggleā¦
