Dear Truecrypt - thank you for posting the Grigory Ginsberg reacordings - I have never heard this one - I think his playing is amazing - certainly on par with Richter and Gillels - always different and fascinating musically - with astonishing technique
Since his *instrument(?)* is the French Guitar, he probably isn't all that qualified to judge pianists, but the joke is good. His favorite punching bag is Sviatoslav Richter. In general he despises Russian pianists. Since he likes to make a fool of himself, he might as well go for the best.
Gerry: He doesn't know. He doesn't even have a clue of how to play this properly... He won't answer you because he simply doesn't know it. He is the kind of guy who can tell you what it's not music but never ever will able to tell you what it is...
At least he had some interesting musical ideas, somthing many other pianists seem not to have at all.

Thank you Smith (though I usually simply skip the vids I don't like). A thumbs up for you from an amateur.

Ask Truecrypt what I think of Russian pianism.
Also you're notion of only pianists may ccitisize pianists is...dismissive of practically the entire worldwide audience.
