@668JunKi
Arthur Rubinstein exclaimed: “I thank God for keeping me alive so that I would be able to hear with my own ears Sgouros play. He is the best pianist I have ever heard, including myself”. He then took off his gold watch and put it on Dimitris Sgouros' wrist as if passing on the torch. Two months later he was dead.

lots of criticism out there - OK, mostly valid, but after all he was only twelve at the time. The video is a valuable learning experience for all of us.

Poor Sgouros, He can very good understand music but her performances capacities to explain musical ideas are bad. I am sure that whe are both a other example of this injury of nature. the cure are the piano lessons of goodguysdoll (see comments to part one). Inscribe us.

Like Lang Lang, miraculous technique combined with little musical understanding. How is this possible?
