[QUOTE="UglyBastard, post: 56332, member: 27"] She's a very talented woman, but your critique of the way she often portrays herself is valid. That's something that also made me a lit bit skeptical of her presentations. As I said, she plays very well, but if you're looking for the real shit I would recommend Evgeny Kissin. Imho he's the best piano player out there. There's also Lang Lang. Although I don't like the way he presents (too much rubato and little fidelity to the original work), I must admit that he possesses a technique that would make even the greatest pianists envious. My main problem with rubato is the breaking of expectations. I genuinely feel uncomfortable with the way Lang Lang plays, even though I genuinely know that he is one of the best living pianists, at least in terms of technique. For those and other reasons, I continue to recommend Kissin to anyone interested in quality performance without the theatrical embellishments that Yuja and Lang Lang do.
