Listening now to Dmitri Alexeevæ„€ late
Brahms. That might be more your cup
of tea DK - 1976 recordings.
I heard Alexxev live many times, including
at the 1970 Enescu competition he won.
He is very good, and I like him overall.
My best cup of tea for Brahms is Arcadi
Volodos:

Yes, I know, this does not include op 116.
For the complete 1167-119 sets, Anna
Gourari sets a very high bar:

BTW I do not like op. 116 as much
as opp. 117-119.
IIRC Helene Grimaud's early career
Brahms recordings were also very
good:

I have not listened to these works
in a long time.
It would be helpful to point out the exact
moments you are judging the performances by.
Contrary to what one might believe, I do not
evaluate performances by "excat moments".
It sounds like you are assuming other people
think the same way you do. Some may, and
some may not.
Can you describe the exact bite by which
you judge steaks? Or the exact grain of
rice by which you judge risotto?
I have described how I listen to music and
how I evaluate piano performance more
often and in more detail than anyone in
this group. Read the archives and
unplute your ears.
