RE: Lang Lang - I cannot stand him but ......

I think part of the problem is in recent time, some musicians have tended to sell themselves with excessive body motions and facial expressions..... In most cases (but not all), to make up for deficiencies in their playing.
And to some degree, the histrionics have impressed the audiences...... Lang Lang, violinist Maxim Vengerov, and conductors Leonard Bernstein, Simon Rattle, and Gustavo Dudamel maybe the most effective in this regard.
