. . . I feel that he does have his moments sometimes - principally on a couple of tracks from his "Liszt - My Piano Hero" album.
Regarding "liking what you previously were not so impressed by", this has happened to me too, and I find that a very important factor in the overall impression that a recording makes is the volume at which you're listening. For me, every recording has an ideal volume which shows off the engineering and performance to their best advantage. One example I can remember was the Johanos/Dallas recording of Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances. For years I couldn't understand the mystique that this recording had in audiophile circles - to me, it sounded dull and dry. However, one day, I upped the volume enough so that the recording blossomed out, I could hear the reverberation, and I finally knew what people were talking about. I had a similar experience with the Haitink / LSO Live SACD set of the Beethoven Symphonies: once I found the right volume (which is not always louder BTW), these recordings impressed me much more!
