James Boyk in a nutshell

Take a look at this LP of Boyk's performance of Prokofiev's Sixth Sonata:



Ooh! He's so intellectual! What a magnificent artiste! You MUST think of "What kind of sound?" you want! Ooh! He has to keep track of all this stuff while he's playing - and he damn well wants to make sure YOU know it too. (As if anyone playing that work doesn't keep track of the same details - and more!) Basically, it's a lame attempt to take advantage of and impress the musically unknowledgeable.

Or. . . look at his uTube videos he's posted. They have titles like "MASTER TEACHER James Boyk REVOLUTIONIZES [someone else's] playing". (OK - my caps!)

I guess what I don't like is the self-aggrandizing aspects to his personality - it might be OK if he were a better pianist, but he's merely a good pianist IMHO.
