<p>Mozar Tsang</p><p>Chopin Etude Op.10/2: A demanding choice and technically it is not without quite exposed little flaws.  Sounds a little over-fingery, and not quite legato enough. For me, the attempt at “interesting” voicing sounded somewhat contrived and “obvious”. This is one of those Etudes which demand such immaculate technical control, and the blemishes were noticeable!</p><p>Nocturne Op.37/2: Sensitive. Lilting rhythmic undercurrent. There is colour here and a feeling for Chopin. Spacious but never static. A good ear for harmony. At his best, in really soft playing, there is something very special - intimate and touching. At times it just sounded on the borderline of being too slow, but this was still a performance of very considerable quality. </p><p>Prokofiev 3rd Sonata: Fast and exciting – just a little too fast for clarity on occasion in ostinato passages (pages 2/3). 2nd subject is rather beautiful, but maybe a little too pale and listless-sounding for this music. (Almost too Chopinesque!) Just a little too black or white: fast and furious or sensitive and slightly small. Not without a number of technical blemishes / misses. Lovely return at recap, which then had excellent crisp articulate incisiveness. </p><p>Certainly one of the most interesting musicians and in general technically well on top of things. But, compared to some other entrants, there were more flaws and the Chopin Etude rather let you down.</p>
