So Thibaudet plays Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Godowsky, the Chopin etudes, and the more difficult works of Liszt? If he does, it's news to me. Great music that eludes many...
To my mind, he's a creation of Decca records. Not particularly interesting and his playing is monochromoatic. I'd take Tharaud any day.
No accounting for taste, as usual:)
