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

RE: If you heard Masleev's Tchaikovsky. . .

Dmitry Masleev plays Tchaikovsky's First Concerto with good articulation, but doesn't have the dynamic "explosiveness" or control..... He also "slaps the keys" somewhat, creating a sound that was somewhat "monotone" for my tastes. His "pianissimos" were more like "mezzo-fortes".

Nice performance, but it struck me as somewhat boring.... I guess "dainty" would be how I would describe it.... (I was a little surprised over the enthusiastic applause afterwards. I don't know if this is typical for a Tchaik Competition audience.) Some performances of the Tchaik First Concerto send me reeling.... But not this one.
