I remember enjoying his Hummel A minor concerto a lot, conducted by Pletnev, and the Chopin/Busoni variations…parhaps the best I’ve heard that played too.
Disagree that it’s “all tech” - otherwise he wouldn’t finish so well in or win international cumpetitions. I was impressed by the Hummel (that’s why I uploaded it), it also has elegance and good taste. But yeah, of course he needs some time to grow, musically…a major talent, though.

I like that no students of jury members are allowed to compete, but the jury is the still the same names you see all the time, starting with Kaplinsky. There are quite a few names I recognise on that list. I was supposed to see Giuseppe Guarrera at FLV last year, but I was randomly depressed at that time, so skipped a bunch of concerts including his.
