Two shameless showboats paddling along in the same emotional shallows.

"[E]motional shallows" is a more apt term for the LISTENERS who contend that Liszt and Yuja are "shameless showboats"! ;-)
since I've only heard Yuja play Ludwig's Hammerklavier sonata on record (mp3 streaming on Spotify, acutally), I sure as heck am not going to comment on it given your righteous wrath over critics who haven't heard her play it in person yet dare offer an opinion.
I never heard Franz play at all, unfortunately. Unlike David, apparently. Sheesh, what a knucklehead. ;-)
About ten years ago, someone asked me if I thought Liszt was the greatest pianist, ever..... My answer was I never heard him..... I have no opinion of anyone I haven't heard.
I do like Liszt the composer..... I thought his Mephisto Waltz was a piece that really brought out the chops (or lack thereof) of pianists.
It is interesting on the asylum how many opinions we get on gear or music from people who have never heard the item. The current discussion on MQA is a good example. Lengthy discussion of pros and cons of MQA from people who have never heard MQA

Then this David Goldman guy should fit right in. ;-)
A sensible approach, I think!
