Title: A greatly hyped, but disappointing performance
Review: This is a very disappointing performance (wildly uneven would be an understatement). Today, I don't expect technical performance weaknesses to take so much away from the musicianship, but in this performance, I have difficulty listening to the musicianship on account of the technical struggles that are so much in evidence (he should have stayed with the simpler 1st movt. cadenza!). I think it is wonderful that Shine may have encouraged so many first timers to listen to classical music, I just wish it could have been to a performance that we could all agree to hold in high esteem.
