Ingolf Wunder is amazing, but plays really wierdly....sometimes it looks like he's utterly disgusted by the piece, and sometimes it looks like he's in a heavenly world :-\ Not as good as Lang Lang's expressions though ehehehe :D

Could always bring up that 10yr old who played Chopin 25/12 and hear some rants/praises.....

A friend of mine (she's 17 now)..played the following program recently:
Bach: Partita no. 3
Schumann: Carnaval op. 9
Liszt: Sonata in B minor
Liszt: Reminiscences de Don Juan
Along with this, she has played all the Chopin Etudes, a big collection of concertos (including Rach 3 and Brahms 2) ...numerous other works: atleast 10 beethoven sonatas, 5 schubert sonatas.
She can sightread literally 'anything' (and thats true ....she almost sightread the horowitz/bizet carmen for me!)

And to top it all ...she plays each of these works with supreme technical AND musical command ..rarely heard these days! I'm waiting for her to become famous (I'm sure I'll get permanently free passes to all her concerts !)
Waste of time -- do not read signatures.

A few months ago, I saw a 10 year old boy in the television, playing Gnomenreigen!.... Quite insane!!
He played it perfectly!

Please post some videos/recordings of your friend, I would most certainly love to see/hear her play :)
