Title: "perfect" form but no soul
Product review: I'm sorry; this is boring. Not very interesting for pianists to listen to... Andsnes has this cold, polished and impersonal style. His playing is predictable and when a phrase is repeated it sounds just the same. It seems like he doesn't care what he is playing. The most important thing is to show off this utterly "perfect" form - this musical emperor's new clothes. Nice and streamlined playing has little to do with great performance. I would prefer listening to Vladimir Horowitz, Grigory Sokolov or Martha Argerich. The Norwegian pianst Einar Steen Nokleberg is a much better interpreter of Grieg.
