We do perceive things differently...... There was a sense of melodic line and dynamic control that to me communicated the music....... The Grieg Concerto IMO is a forgiving piece, but can often showcase the performer rather than convey the intents of the composer. Too many of these things come off as "bombastic", where even-tempered melodic line does a lot more justice for this piece. (Leon Fleisher does really well with this Concerto.)

Oddly, someone wanted me to check out Valentina Lisitsa's performance of this concerto (I was never a Lisitsa fan), and my reaction was that she "slaps her fingers at the keys" while she plays, creating a "monotone" sort of sound...... When I went to play some alternative performances, a couple of them disappointing, I saw Fischer at a piano, and thought, "Whoa! I got to see this!" And to my surprise, her performance kept my attention, throughout at least the final movement. (My only complaint was the clip's audio was somewhat "saturated".)
