Great pianist, truly wonderful playing. The last time I saw him play live was in the semi-finals of the Leeds piano competition in 2000. After an amazing performance of Beethovens Diabelli variations, he concluded the recital with Weburn's tiny op 27. With just two minutes of music left to play, he walked off stage because he thought he wasn't playing well enough!! Although he was disqualified, it never made any difference to his career because he is just so very good. Thank you sharing...

I heard him last year with a Bach, Bartok and Szymanowski programme; it was mesmerizing. In particular the partita in e minor which totally surprised me. Although clearly a "romantic" interpretation with a deep and broad tone, every voice was clear and nothing sounded heavy. He gave this encore as well.
