Composers have written and musicians have played pain and love and sadness and joy, but who has composed or played vitriol and what could it sound like? So what is the musical or emotional value of some of those comments? Where is the understanding of the "why" of the performers? If you have seen Richter's profound life-changing sadness ("my mother left and was to fetch me later; she didn't come for four years"), you can see and understand why he plays as he does, and understand why each pianist responds differently to Chopin's own emotions, and how it is the combination that makes each performance unique. But also, these are etudes, and there is naturally going to be an emphasis on technical skills!

Cziffra might be the closest to thing to Liszt, an incredible pianist. He was just warming up with that Etude :) He had a rough life, was imprisoned and forced to do hard labor. His wrists ligaments were damaged but still continued to perform at the highest level. He frequently played the piano with a large leather wristband to support his wrist.

Richter was always looking upward, to the ceiling, and around , Richter was. Probably was asked to do so by the camera person since the video performance looked like it was without an audience. By looking up ward and seemingly appearing to be trying to find the Musical muse to keep him inspired, the camera person probably believed it would give Richter a different aura as a performer, so I believe that behavior was requested of Richter. Personally, I am not attracted to performers who get their bodies involved in the process of performing on the piano. I prefer those who can control not only their facial features from grimaces, lips pursing, swaying back and forth on the bench as if they were on a boat at sea, but altogether an acting out of the music as if they were compelled to do so. However such is my personal likes and but certainly not to take anything away from an artist's stupendous musical virtuosity or artistry in any video or live recorded performance. This variety of expression is part of our natural human composition and we all have to embrace the uniqueness of each performer as a gift from the ALMIGHTY.

Well, with the exception of Bozhanov none of these were actually top notch. Trifonov and Sokolov did very well though, and there was some interesting voicing in Margulis' op. 10/2 (but others have done that way better - check Sarah Daneshpour). The rest was a very mixed bag (Cziffra: yikes! and Planté: seriously!?). In all fairness I'm comparing these renditions with recordings without video. But it's hard to believe that these are the best available filmed performances.
