@tonecolor WRONG. they are evidence of great deception and self-importance. this guy is following in the steps of Lang Lang with those horrific facial expressions. Those expressions are about the sickest thing i've ever seen.

Che pazzo...se tutti i pianisti avessero questo spirito...sarebbe tutta un'altra musica!!!

People need to do what ever brings them success. parchment or computers---use whatever makes the best art.
Cabassi is a great pianist but not remotely an accurate interpreter of Bach
as in this recording. One can´t understand the experience of the antique if one only has modern experiences.
-
should writers of today return to parchment and pen, then return to computers?
-
What surprises me a bit is that Calabassi plays Soler with such great baroque style excellently, and his Bach (Departure of Brother) has nothing to do with Bach or the Baroque. One needs to go back to the harpsichord to get into the genre and then return to the piano in order to get closer to Bach´s medium.

BTW, those theatrical muggings are evidence of great expression!!!
-
I think someones jealous!!His playing is brilliant!!
-
what are you talking about "can't handle technically" if he couldn't play the correct technique, there's no way he even would be considered for this competition. I agree about the theatrics, but you don't have to look at him when he plays.

Nice to see some controversy but God, guys, at least learn something from one another.
OMG THATS UNHEaRD OF!! lol well, he is still an excellent pianist

A thoroughly nice guy with a luminous, warm tone, and immaculate voicing in the chordal opening of the slow movement - slight hint of jazzy syncopation notwithstanding. There are now more conservatoires, musicians, orchestras, competitions and concerts than ever before. I don't know where you live but in London the scene is exhaustingly vibrant. There is no need for your pessimism.
