Beautiful! He is called a ‘“wonder of the piano”. Also, the media described his playing at the competition that "Wunder has got everything one wants to hear in a Chopin player. His is a very patrician, aristocratic kind of sound. He’s got an absolutely beautiful sense of tone and huge musical imagination, coupled with incredible virtuosity.’

Incidentally, plenty of girls like his looks exactly the way it is and would be more than glad to flirt with him - which he actually even does not need, being happily engaged.:))

And make this the end of the subject - once again, this is not a fashion magazine portal, for goodnes sake - this is the place to comment on MUSIC:(

This is more upper class Chopin. Avdeeva is middle class left wing Chopin, and that's not Chopin, because Chopin should not sound......common.

From 9:20, it is obvious Wunder is trying to be Lipatti, but he FAILS at it. For one, his tone is often too harsh. Secondly, this sort of structure (insane speed contrasted with numbing slow) usually fails anyway... he is TOTALLY lacking of the sort of "inner pulse" that is the essence of Chopin and what makes Rubinstein so great. For these reasons, I don't think Wunder deserved best concerto at all.
