I don’t dislike him but he’s usually interpretatively usually a bit stupid

Somehow great in this though.

I’m still surprised every time I hear something I like from Kissin!

But tru, deep down I have a LL favourite as well. He owns Liszt’s little E minor Romance.

I remember a Chopin F minor concerto that was really quite good from da dongah. I think when he behaved himself he could be a good pianist.

Best playing I ever heard from Dongah was demonstrated in a master class. Chopin, Scarlatti and Liszt. Thought he would go overboard like he does in the paget6, but was dam good playing.

Me too! There was a period where I didn’t like Kissin anymore, think it was from 2003 maybe even until I saw him live for the first time in 2011. I’m sure he had improved during that period, but I stopped following him. I keep trying to stop following him, because his tickets are outrageously expensive (only Pogo has an ego to match), but somehow he manages to win me over.
