If I heard the performances, my opinion would likely differ from all the others..... We all listen for different things.
Interesting Martha Argerich was one of the judges.... I think judges who were musicians listen for what they do personally in performance.... I've never liked Argerich's style of playing. And if she preferred performances similar to how she performed personally, I can imagine the disagreement between her choices and how others judged them.
