You might want to point out examples of this "hesitation"..... I personally have not picked this up, and I listen to him quite a bit.

I would call Cho the best pianist in the world, at this very moment. His Chopin Scherzo 2 is in Antonio Barbosa territory.

Glad u agree, I'm pretty taken too, but there's just a very slight teasing/hesitation before downbeat of many - jdaniel@jps.net 11:19:15 06/07/17 (3)
measures of lovely ascending melody that I cued up. Others are far worse, or "poetic": try Sokolov in same place!

    I didn't like his Chopin discs. I had to use Rubinstein (a lot more straightforward) to cleanse the palate.

      Yes, the haunting 6/4 waltz sounds more stiff and stumbling than haunted.
