If a rock guitarist plays a jazz piece, is he then a jazz guitarist?
Maksim was classicaly trained, he does not play A classical piece, he plays and has played many classical pieces (solo).
I am not saying Maksim has played ONE piece of classical music. Maksim has done concerts of just solo classical piano. Is that not classical?
Listen to Maksim's Flight of the Bumblebee, then listen to Cziffra's octave transcription and tell me which one is better, musically and technically.
Musicically better: That can be down to the listeners opinion. I have never said Maksim's pieces are technically difficult, whats the point in comparing, i know loads of pieces i could compare Maksim to and say it's technically harder.
Maksim does not ONLY do classical pieces, he does pieces of such composers: Tonci Huljic, David Essex, John Lenhan, Joseph Brooks... etc.
On his first album he done 5 classical pieces, thats all. You seem to think every single piece is a classical piece.
Yes well done, Maksim is a Popular artist, i have already establised that.
The point is, you are saying Maksim isn't a classical pianist becuase he plays crossover music, and yet ignoring every single solo classical pieces he's done and saying he's not a classical pianist.
So are you saying you can't have a Jazz pianist and a Classical pianist?
Maksim is both, a crossover and a classical pianist.
When i say maksim is a classical pianist, i am not refering to pieces such a Flight of the bumble bee, griegs piano concerto etc...
