One of the most unique pianists, who always focuses on lyricism first and foremost. No matter the work, Kunz finds new voices to share. His pianissimo is as good as anyone's - as his fantastic ability to play at a whisper and vary dynamics with the slightest of gradations make listening to him a mesmerizing experience.
Yes, I saw him live too. These competitions are a bit stupid. Kunz can make mistakes, more often than others, can mess up entire passages, etc. But he usually UDERSTANDS the music he plays. The mistakes, even his "disasters" fade away for me, what is left is his sheer, pretty mature artistry. But the Jury usually chooses some brilliant piano "professionals". Anyway, to me Kunz is a name to remember, whatever the general opinion of him is.
This is his prelim round of performance - absolutely astoundingly beautiful performance. When I heard this, I really thought he would at least place in the top 3 in the final round. But his 2nd round performance was very disappointing, given his talent. With his 2nd round performance, it didn't surprise me that he didn't make the finals.
Totally agree.......he was my favorite at the first round, but the second round disappointed me a lot....but anyway there is no doubt that he is a very talented musician...... XD
Whoever won this competition, he/she was no better than Kunz. It's extremely hard to better him. Curious who was in the Jury, as Kunz clearly should have won.
This is very musical playing. I don't currently play any Scarlatti, but if I did, this is exactly how I would aim to play it, as I like the slightly romanticised approach he takes.

Wonderful playing. Hate to sound like a bad romance novel, but it's meltingly beautiful. It don't get get any better, really.
