haha, i think da 's rhythm is the result of having the best technique ever. I wouldn’t call it “natural”. for example, there are few moments when I listen to Hamelin and think “wow, that was really adventurous” (his live Kan Symphs, Bremen esp. are tremendous exceptions). But really, the most salient trait of his rhythm is the fact that he doesn’t ever fuckin slow down when the going gets tough! He always keeps his cool, and doesn’t exaggerate. In a way, he’s like a souped-up Pollini.
totally agree about ho.
I admire Hamelin’s technique and that’s about it.
undahstandable.
anyone who doesn’t understand da Ho’s genius usage of rhythm go get the rec of da Dance Marcarbe.
and just in case, fuck you zepp if u intend to mention da fucking jap amaetuer rec.
