da GOLDBERG explainz:

I flicked on the radio one night and heard the 2nd Chopin concerto, just as the 2nd movement began. I quickly realized it was a considerably mediocore performance and almost immediately assumed that it was a concerto competition winner with a very good college or perhaps second rate professional orchestra (though to be fair the orchestra came across as being pretty good). By the middle of the third movement I almost had had enough but I was just dying to find out what the heck was going on with the piece…technical mistakes here and there, occassionally repulsive phrasing and no rhythmical drive to speak of (not to mention it was too fast), it was a mess compared to most of the other recs I’d heard!

Yep, it turns out it was Hamelin playing a live performance with the CBC Radio Orchestra. I was quite surprised! I’ve always admired him, of course, but on hearing him live, and without knowing it was in fact Hamelin at the piano (and so I was unbiased), I have developed a slightly different opinion of him.
