  • I still am mad at the jury for not picking him. So what if he missed a few notes? When it comes down to it, music is about emotion. He EASILY had the most to "say" in his playing-- he wasn't playing for the jury, he was playing for himself and us! I'd definitely go see him play over any of the others.

  • Genius perfers 'art' to 'winning'. Winning is often academic. Genius goes further... the people know...

  • @1Thompsonmusic like the pot calling the kettle black

  • this is such a fresh and interesting interpretation, even at the expense of a few wrong notes. thanks so much for this!!

  • @Bennie347 ,I absolutely like your comment.I just clicked the wrong button. That's right-Go,Bozhanov !!

  • bravo!

  • Go Bozhanov!!!

    

  • Wonderful playing. I like that he doesn't hold anything back, even at the expense of occasional wrong notes. Schnabel showed us that note-perfect performances are merely a luxury.

    One thing did strike me though. Would anyone else agree with me that when the opening theme returns at the end and the camera focuses on his face, that his expressions make him look like Jim Carrey?
