It's not the technique, it's the contortions. He reminds me of the late lamented Glenn Gould, who would have blown a gasket playing this at his usual presstisimo.
Shub has a bad technique? Low wrist and more...what a nonsense! Have you watched his performance of Mendelssohn's Fantasie in f sharp minor? This guy is an incredible pianist!
According to Joseph Horowitz in "The Ivory Trade", Schub disliked this performance, considering it to be far too fast.
When the Cliburn foundation wanted to release a live recording of this recital over his objections, he retaliated by rushing to record the same works with a different label, causing the live recording to be scrapped.
Bad technique?? Nobody gets anywhere near the final of an international piano competition with bad technique. That alone shows your comments up for nonsense. The guys is a picture of concentration! What the hell are you talking about. Are you watching a different vid?

Have never heard anything by Richter here. Have heard some good some bad. Never heard intelligent comment as to why.

Criticizing an international pianist's technique huh? You guys must be GOOD! How many Van Cliburns or Tchiakovsky's have y'all played in??
