From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

RE: who exactly do you think is mediocre?

"I agree, as I have seen Khatia Buniatshvili live and she was excellent. A very exciting performer."

Unlike some other performers mentioned here, I've been impressed with Khatia...... My main complaint with her is she too often chooses tempos that are "fast" for my liking.... (I have a similar complaint about Martha Argerich... ) If she took some works a little slower, the Beethoven Concerto One for example, she'd be phenomenal.

Link is to an excellent performance of the Schumann Concerto with Paavo Jarvi and NHK...... (Although it was not exactly the best accompaniment I've heard with this concerto..... In fact, at the very end, the horn player played the familiar "horn call" several bars too late, I think it even distracted Khatia for a split second........ ) Enjoy!
