We saw him do Prokofiev's 3rd in Cincinnati in the Spring. They also did Tchaikovsky's 6th that night. I could not believe they did the symphony first. I did not want to hear anything (I usually don't) after that draining piece of music. Well, after intermission, they hauled out the piano and clamped a camera on the end of it; I also notice one over the keyboard. And so while I was tring to listen to the concerto, they had his mug shown on a screen behind the orchestra, alternating with pictures of his hands along the keyboard. It all made me sick. I'll be Dang Dang If I go see this jaybird play anything again.
