That’s a shame. He’s really a great pianist. His Chopin is fantastic.
You think so?
It can’t hold a candle to Gavrilov’s, Rubinstein’s, Moissewich’s, or Hamelin’s Chopin.
Zimerman’s playing is too analytical, too careful and mannered, and he refuses to gamble.
I’d rather have edge-of-your seat excitement instead of note-perfect sterility.
