ThomasTirino was the finest pianist at Julliard when he attended there.Iwas fortunate enough to go the his "graduation" recital and I never forgot it.His playing is not like other peoples because the music is "Living in him".Imet him when I was 15 years old.I am now 49, and I have been following his career all that time.He is a gift to classical music,and he makes it a gift to others.

It's never a good sign when the artist cheats in the first measure! This is, after all, a tremendous virtuoso piece, and those opening octaves are written for the left hand alone. As the piece goes on, it becomes ever clearer this guy is a "right-hand" pianist. Never manages to give good tone or proper repose to the many l.h. statements of the theme while the right hand is flying around. There are also a good many wrong notes in all that swooping... Advice: practice more, pose less.
