What do you guys think about this guy. It is a Holland-Russian pianist who is still very young. He is still studying, but plays allready a lot of concerts. You can watch videos of him, and mp3. I don't think it is a huge talent, but in a certain way I'm jaloues when you see all his concerts he is playing, and allready earning money with this.
Tell me your opinion

His recordings are mediocre at BEST (i.e., the decent Mendelssohn Fantasie.) But his playing is never exciting, or inventive. This, coupled with a very average technique, creates a very tepid listening experience.

There are thousands of young pianists with more talent than this guy who have enough modesty to defeat the urge to built tasteless web monuments to themselves.
