Since playing a very talented young pianists, but that's about it. From his caliber there hundreds. What is not everything interpreted in here: it just does not sound resolved, but hesitant, not thrilling, but nervously, not sure timbres but tearful, maybe unpretentious, but what does that have to do with interpretation. He does not play smart and suspenseful, he plays almost uncertain, it is tralala music. Out of sheer caution his attack remains lax - or at Gulda Anda we must think not only. No CD grabs at any location that has something to say, in addition to countless Einspielungenen both concerts. Here a young, dazzlingly handsome boy is pushed, there's no tomorrow, and of course it makes an impression, but since when is a criterion?
A new Horowitz? So can write only someone who either has no idea of the piano or is employed by Deutsche Grammophon. That borders on insulting Horowitz.
And unfortunately, it is not supported by the accompanying Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Christian Zacharias. The whole thing sounds heruntergedudelt halfheartedly. I have rarely heard such a half-baked interpretation. I guess Zacharias as pianist that does not mean that he can conduct an orchestra.
Conclusion: Unfortunately a completely unwarranted highly charged and highly acclaimed CD, the boy still has to learn a lot demonized.
