People are being unfair to a wonderful musician who has worked his tail off.. Sure, he plays fast. It's popular. It's crowd-pleasing. It's keeps plebeians interested. I'll grant that. But the fact remains that he does have some lovely phrasing, his balance decisions are always thoughtful, and he maintains control throughout the excitement. Listen without watching, if his showmanship bothers you.

Platonic forms anyone? How about the Neo-Confucianist li?

Very strange facial expression and unnecessary gesture. he pretends to be enjoying the music but indeed not necessarily. Shanghaiese always loves window dressing.
-
Perhaps a little fast, but wonderfully controlled. Lose the silly tags, they add nothing to the composer's reputation.

Oh please, here's Pogorelich v=Y7FHHmS4msw, and if it should be a chinese, search for Yuja Wang
-
I think he has very light fingers and cool dynamics in his own way, not just showing skills. Why people say he only shows his skills.....
-
:24 checking to see if the camera is still focused on him
-
Too exaggerated in terms of the dynamics and his facial expression.

funny comments!!!!
Fantastic! What great skill at the piano. Hands jumping about really fast. Pure entertainment! Because isn't THAT what we want? Never mind sublime experiences. I want the musical equivalent of monkeys juggling! Why did pianist like Schnabel, Gould, and Curzon waste their time with expressing anything meaningful and beautiful; they should have just been learning how to play faster and more impressively. Ooooooo aaaahhhh look at Lang Lang go!
