Interview - György Sandor about technical abilities of todays pianists - The art of piano

I took that extract because i'm interested in the differences between the older and the newer generation of pianists.

Sandor in our thoughts, he was a great pianist and smart man. May he rest in peace.

Cuando yo era muy joven, alla por 1973 asistí a un concierto en Lima Peru en el Teatro Municipal interpretado por este pianista y su esposa, era un concierto para dos pianos, no recuerdo cual. Recuerdo haber disfrutado mucho de ese concierto.

I would go further to add that the polar shift in sensibility is at the root of this problem and at the same time, is its cause. The matter of showing the supposed emotions on the face rather than through the fingers at the instrument as it is promoted these days is a good example of this. You may also find a clip with Horowitz remarking on this problem even in his later days. True music making is a lost art. I see great, new talent drown in the populist machine of experts who churn out more technicians while drinking the benefits of association with a natural talent like a blood thirsty vampire. Too harsh?...
