Edward-David Ruiz The piece is, in the end, played beautifully, but “Organboi” is on the right side of the argument you went for. He has quite a few flubs at the beginning. But I love this recording nonetheless. :)
Much as I like George as a pianist, this clip shows why he was still a little short of the overnight sensation we expect the Tchaikovsky winner to be. The central lyrical section was simply not relaxed enough. Although I agree with his sensible cross hands solution to the notorious double note arpeggios, where the score cruelly demands each finger to play two notes simultaneously fortissimo, the judges were bound to regard this as chickening out. Prokofiev's third is a wonderful display vehicle, but the likes of Argerich and Kissin play this and are still currently performing it so effortlessly that I think it an unwise choice at the Tchaikovsky and Chopin competitions.
Just amazing!!!
¡ Brillante, bravo !!!!
You should have won. More passion by far. More music, more artistry than others.

No if you see the full version of 15 tchaikovsky final dmitry malsevv was more rhydmicler and clear and more stable
BeammeupSpotty no, this was a bit scruffy and smudged
brillant
A bit too many note smudges at the opening of this movement.
could have been the speaker system of your tv set, organboi. Find a better outlet!

No one plays this in the Chopin Competition because that's all Chopin. You must've meant something else.
