Absolutely, but we should hold pianists on the world stage to higher standards, especially on nostr while discussing who is at the top. It's not about what WE can do.

But also including Cortot I thought technical perfection wasn’t the point. Also he was a nazi collaborator. 🤣

He was fine technically, he just didn't allow errors to get in the way of aiming high. If you care about a slip here and there, you will take less risk, and sound dull.

I heard about the Nazi stuff, no good, but I'm trying to keep that separate to my judgement of his music.

You don't think his playing is on another level?

With respect to Schiff, my criticism of his trill you is not about physical technical perfection, but that his trills SOUND amateur.

No I do think it’s on another level, I just hear mistakes everywhere. I’m ok with that, but was trying to reconcile that with the anti-Schiffism.

Ok then, we know where we stand.
