Cambry is really a bit of a cock. He is an OK pianist, but with this unreasonable hype from some asinine people on youtube, his comments have become extremely arrogant and authoritative; his only defense against the few criticism against seems to be "you haven't uploaded any music videos on youtube." He is a mediocre music student at a mediocre conservatory, at best. Check out his website too. Hype, hype, and hype for quite mediocre playing. I am far from racist, but he is hyped mostly because he is black, and people do not often see a black person play classical music.
its interesting that you say something like that.
perhaps its true, in a larger scheme of things, he is only an OK pianist. but we also wanna consider his young age and all the remaining time he has to develop and mature.
i have not seen all the vids of pianist posters ( those who post their own playing ) on youtube, but in comparison amongst such posters, cambry is way more than just an OK pianist. he has the facility, plays the instrument with tremendous ease, and of course his general musicianship is still growing. now, i hope i aint speaking too early, but i think he can well belong to the high league of youtube pianist posters. all in all, i would like to see him play in 10 years time from now.
