It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Things soundin' bad in babe pianist's latest release?

OK, Chris, I gotta ask. They take a beautiful young woman who happens to be a talented pianist, have her record Kinderszenen, and put out the CD with a closeup of her beautiful face on the cover. A critic (a particularly bad one, imho) then cleverly compares her performance to those of: Wilhelm Kempff; Ivan Moravec; Radu Lupu; Annie Fischer; Artur Schnabel; and Vladimir Horowitz. And to his surprise he is forced to conclude that hers suffers in comparison.
We might be forced to conclude that this young musician, though clearly a hot blonde, is not yet one of the 20 greatest pianists of all time. Can you recover from the shock and disappointment?
She should record the Chopin Waltz op. 64 no. 2 and they could put her in the mixed martial arts cage with Yuja Wang.
