But this is not the first of his record which I will say that we should forget that to just listening. For beyond the hysterical anti Lang Lang most stop as I see here again a testimony (a temperamental commentator indeed usually a sickly aggressiveness, sometimes to vulgarity close to the filthy, I have myself been the target ...), I am 100% certain that blind listening, no one would criticize the perfect game here Pianist, totally devoid of affectation, but guess who this is.
What makes my big disappointment for me it is not him but Rattle and his orchestra, not enough incisive, and even totally missing teeth in this music (I mean, as well as Bartok Prokofiev, with still a better for the latter). Oh sure, there are all the modern comforts: the five-star-seen-in-the-TV-concert-of-Prestique-recommended-by-Eve-Ruggieri (you know, the one that got us on water play Ravel: you had to be a very virtuoso pianist to write to as wide naturals, hihi). But take hold! the Prokofiev, everything is smooth and indifferent, with a first movement without rabble verve, a second which is bogged down, a third without any breath to finish. In short, yes, it was ruined in delivering the excellent pianist.
Pianist I'd like to hear one of these four, with so much more alive and inspired in the neglected (compared to 4 and 5th), but beautiful, incredibly daunting Prokofiev Second Concerto, also personally my favorite . And who here finally, oh surprise, seems to have found its companion measure, not the reverse! And so this makes it so can very well (to attract Rattle field befitting) in bewitching, fascinating second movement of Bartok (which I discovered the work concernante at the time of the great Geza Anda, it's not really an upgrade ...).
