Should we go easy on Mr. Yundi Li

[beethovenopus2no3movt2]

This man is the greatest sensation to hit the Chopins stage in recent years. His playing is mechanically sound. Rubenstein will to me always be the best chopin interpreter. However, Mr. yundi Li is not far behind. There are times in his performance were he seems to know exactly what he wants and can refrain from even looking at the keyboard. Kempf could do this as well as GG. This is something that should be learned, but that will be posted in another (start new topic).

I heard he went a bit crazy or distracted at one point in time, is this true?

I also heard that his repertoire is quite limited

I don't think so.  He plays Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, as well as Chopin and Liszt.

For goodness sake, what are you talking about??? This is yet another really pointless question!!!
Of all the pianists in the world why single out Yundi Li? You never even listed him as one of your favourite living pianists. Also, refraining from looking at the keyboard? You make it sound like an addiction, like refraining from alcohol, cigarettes etc Any competent performer play without constantly looking at the keyboard, an occasional glance maybe! You mention Rubinstein a lot in your posts; he was virtually blind towards the end of his life, but he could still perform! Under the circumstances he could be forgiven for the occasional wrong note.

You seem to be very good at asking very open ended questions but not contributing very much, if anything at all, to the wider discussion yourself! You never even seem to respond to anyone else's posts which have arisen from your tantalizing questions!!!
