The Burleske mercilessly and ruthlessly exposes the
thinness, hollowness, lack of weight, and brittleness
of her tone. Gary Graffman, what have you wrought ?!?
A great performance in its own way.
I beg to differ. Even ignoring the thin, hollow tone, there
are too many awkward phrases and smeared passages.
The latter are really inexcusable for a fingerfertigkeit
champ like La Wang.
If one likes to hear lightness and playfulness in the
Burleske, Martha Argerich plus Abbado is as good
as it gets:

Not everyone is a Byron Janis or Weissenberg.
Both very good, though not even close to Richter,
whom a heard live a couple of times during the
1960s.
