I just saw "Imagine; to be a concert pianist"

A nice documentary about being a concert pianist nowadays.


The thing I noticed is that 3 of the pianist in the video can't speak properly (I'm talking about Kissin, Lang Lang and Grosvenor). What do you think of this... Some kinda autistic "thing" ? (I especially notice that Kissin really needs to think of what he's gonna say).

And does someone know what Benjamin Grosvenor is doing lately?.. I didn't heard much about him nowadays. I really like his playing and I think he's a supertalent when it comes to musicallity.

I'm not talking about their English... I'm talking about the way they speak.
