I have never really got the thing with her.. Everybody says she's so good, and she always gets good comments on Youtube (I know, don't comment about that).

Is is just me?!? >.<

Well, don't beat yourself up over it, no pianist ever got everyone's vote!

I like Yudina for the 20th-century music I've heard her playing on disc - not least because she really played it as if she meant it, which isn't by any means always the case with contemporary music. Actually ditto her Bach. Hers isn't always the most subtle playing but I like it for its directness.
