Because the first step towards improvement is to fully realize what aspects of one's playing suck.
It's not clear to me how calling someone delusional informs him of the aspects of his playing that suck. The person who suggested that the OP might have trolled all of us is absolutely correct. The OP did not bother to respond to anything here but chose to go to another forum to post more recordings (and more delusional statements to go along with them). From the beginning I knew that the OP was just pulling legs. Liszt85, you are so gullible.....The OP did it on purpose to play like that. It is totally impossible for someone who can play the first 8 Beethoven sonatas and play like that, or listen to his Ballades, this guy has the correct interpretation, he just did it on purpose to blur things, hit the chords loudly, mess up the counting, etc. I thought you are pursuing a degree in psychological science or something like that. You should have more keen sense. Oh, of all the people who thought his playing sucked, I'm the only one gullible? Hmm.. interesting. You're right, I do study Psychology and this post of yours, singling me out, is very telling! I suggest you get over whatever issues you have with me and make better use of your time here (and one doesn't have to study Psychology to be able to say this, you are that very transparent here). "Has the correct interpretation, but he purposefully banged chords loudly, and messed up counting". WOW, you must be some kind of genius to make out from that mess that he had the "correct interpretation"! Pray tell us, what is the "correct interpretation"? Why do I even bother? Yes, I'm gullible that way, responding to these posts.

I joined that other forum so I could search out posts involving the Slow Concert Pianist person there - who is apparently the same person as BachMach. The recordings are all *very* similar, and they provoked similar reactions as here - no surprise.
BUT this person on that other board had pretty bad writing skills also. So I think the original post here was copied and pasted - didn't somebody suggest that already on account of it being incoherent? - and his language skills are really equal to his piano chops. OR on the other hand - maybe the writing skills *and* the recordings were a deliberate put-on?
I go with the 'delusional' theory. At the other place he got totally bent-out-of-shape at criticism and seemed dead serious, mentioning studying at a conservatory in Australia with a professor who thought he was great.

... mentioning studying at a conservatory in Australia with a professor who thought he was great. That was PartyPianist's story too. However, as he hasn't been back, or entered into any discussion, chances are this is pointless.

This is like Peter Pan! 'All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.'
