Incident in Lucerne-- Sokolov vs. Martin Meyer/Brendel

But then that would be on topic :rectum:

I really really dislike his playing. God. No wonder Berezovsky simply had to slight him.

If I remember correctly Berezovsky once derided the Austrian concertgoing public for “liking pianists like Brendel”…

tru, i just don’t understand how so many people like brendel, and believe that he is the best there is atm.

exactly, sheeples need to open up their ears. He is so far the only pianist who got famous with mediocre musical ability and epic pretentiousness.

What happened to his ‘retirement’? Shouldn’t he be gone already?

Some of his early recordings can be quite elegant, and I love his Vox recordings from the 50s. However, his arrogance is something inexcusable. It was Liszt who said that learning to become a great musician is learning to become a great human being. Insulting colleagues, especially living ones, is totally unbecoming. Brendel also dismisses all of Rachmaninov as “a waste of time.” Ashkenazy often said generally, “If somebody does not like Rachmaninov, I have serious doubts about his qualities as a human being.”

Actually he played the Prelude #16 as an encore as well-- it was hair-raising at least on that occasion.

cause many pianists are traumatized from the beatings they got when they wuz spoilt brat youngsters and they want to shit on other mofos cause it is their only outlet for any kind of social life aside from ladyboys in Thailand

the mofos that got an early claim to fame suffering from Poony style brain warps while da C tier mofos want to make money from something which 99% of society sees as a hobby and loser their soul while they aspire to grift.
