   Who is he. I might know him.

[pianistimo]

you can hear a lot of 'finger slap' (or keyslap) in his playing.  seems like a talented person though.  any extra noises in recordings become distracting once they are pointed out (never used to listen for them).  once a pianist finds this out, he/she will do all in their power to minimize the extra sounds coming out of the piano.  noises from keys, pedals, etc.

[stevie]

in what recordings did you hear the keyslaps?

heres the recording hes most famous for :

[pianistimo]

yes.  that's the one i listened to.  maybe those flabby pianos are to blame.  he needs an instrument inbetween a too-easy piano and medium play.  and, to keep his fingers closer to the keys.

Are you serious?  OOOOOOOOOK,  so now, sad to say, Gould with his humming should be considered a lesser pianist.  Hamelin with his chair making noise is not that good of a pianist...  How about the nails clicking on the keys with Arrau and Cziffra???  Revolting! what crappy performances these were!

   What was the name of the competition, what else did he play and haw old is he.

[etudes]

i suppose that is from Richter competition! i think he is around 26-28 years old

[stevie]

more like 38

and he is an outstanding musician aswell as technician

[brewtality]

He's alright, the 10/2 is wikid but I couldn't help but notice how slowly he played the Tchaikovsky octaves. Musically, I haven't heard enough of him to give an informed opinion.

[I Love Xenakis]

The Tchaikovsky-Pletnev Concert Suite from the Ballet "Nutcracker" is a good example of his musical prowess.

Gould indeed is a lesser pianist  But the rest are amazing pianists.
