I understand, but a pianist needs a big an varied rep.
11 concert programs 75 mins each is not that unreasonable and Horowitz got them under his belt by age 23 Lmaoooo.
In the 21st century, there is no excuse for an incomplete pianist anyway.
If youāve been a pro for decades, your rep should reflect it. You absolutely need a good-sized rep, even if you are a self-proclaimed specialist in xyz
Iām not the biggest fan of Michelangeli but certain recordings are very very interesting.
Itās cool to hear the Liszt Totentanz treated with respect AND fury. Very stylish.
Dayum, letās not have a random civil war over this. I dun hate da Michelangeli playing, dere are a number of recs dat I enjoy, but dere are other mofos dat Iād rather hear.
Randomly I found dat I dun even listen to classical piano anymore. General go for sum symphonic sheeyat or even sum Art Tatum. Or JAV porn (more often den not, dose sounds are most pleasing to moi )
Iām not saying that because I like the way he plays Chopin that itās the best or the only way. I mean Frigginā Argerich wanted to study with him when her career was already established. Who are we to say he doesnāt know how to play Chopin or thatās itās zheeyat? It makes you look petty when you say a obvious master canāt play something. I donāt like MAH, but I recognize he has supreme technical abilities and that heās a dedicated musician.
And then Porky tells me that ABM, a master who has absolute dedication to his craft is sheeyat? All I can do is laugh.
