Well i really enjoy you opinion on it.Of course it depends on the aproach
people has toward music.  I really like Martha Argerich,but it doesn't mean
i have to agree with a Hyper -Techcnical speed performance.  And if what i
want to listen is music, i am against too fast performances,because the
ears lost a lot of important things.Great pianism doesn't means great
speed.  Regards.
