Ok, so Yingdi has some problem in his playing, he is too stiff or something. He should take some jazz lessons and learn to swing. I guess with my background and musical interest I have a much finer sense for rhythm. There is just something wrong with it, I but I cannot really put my finger on it. It wasn't so bad in the concerto, but in the HR I heard it again. And now knowing he was the guy that played the sonata before Salvikov, I don't like his playing. His tone also was something that sounded harsh, but it might be my computer speakers. It sounded brittle.

Personally I had big problems with the way Salnikov interpreted the concerto.

So I guess Huyvenhoven second.

I bet Zuo Zhang will get the Henk de By Incentive Prize. Hope so, at any rate.

Heard a rumor as to who was getting the Press Prize...

I'm definitely staying up for the awards. Shouldn't be too much longer now!
