Review title: I must agree
Product review: Although he clearly has enough technique to play the notes there is something essential missing here. A lot of very mechanical halting playing destroys any chance of fluid phrasing. It also seems that he is frequently left hand heavy. While he may deal with certain details in a competent manner, the task becomes impossible in complex works demanding variety, decernment and taste such as Pictures At An Exhibition. Maybe if he stuck to short pieces like Grieg's lyrical pieces he might stand a better chance.I think that a pianist ought to be able to hear these things in their playing. And be able to work hard at perfecting their touch, their craft. If not, then they certainly should not be surprised to be as critically panned as this one has.
