Wow, Dasol Kim's Scriabin 4 is kind of extraordinary. Yes, it is. The medici.tv feed mentioned he'd already recorded a CD for DG. Hum. I noticed that....kind of a big deal! But why isn't he listed on the DG website. (?) I see it on Amazon.

Ethereal. His fingers are fairies dancing on the keys.

I think Dasol has the most beautiful tone I've ever heard today. That coupled with his restrained approach to rubato and phrasing makes this op. 28 an outstanding performance so far.

The anti-Shmukler. His fortes and fortissimos are rich, deep, and mellow.

Man. I'm really liking these Preludes. What a refined temperament this guy has. So refreshing to hear after all the recent hackneyed and over dramatic versions (*cough cough* Trifonov *cough*).

Sorry I missed the Scriabin and the first half of the preludes. Sounds like he did well, but I not surprised at the comment about the lack of eroticism in the Scriabin. I'll be interested to hear it later.
I'm curious to hear Teo who I find no less capable but of a different temperament.

Yeah, I'm kind of behind, haven't heard some of the competitors (missed all of the last day of preliminaries) but Dasol Kim is probably my frontrunner. That Scriabin 4 was probably the finest, most intricately detailed rendition I've heard. I understand the comment about lacking eroticism, though, but disagree in regards to the first movement. The second was highly structured and dance-like to be sure, but his clarity, color, balance, and texture make me give it a slide.
Those preludes were immaculate. His focus is uncanny. Almost freaky how unfazed he is by the pressure.

Is it just me or was Teo's chord voicing uncommonly beautiful in Le Gibet?

Teo is impressing me today more than in the preliminary round, certainly.

Yea, but I don't think he's planning on trying to go to the end. I kinda hope he doesn't advance. I feel like he'd be at risk for another Colafelice incident where his later works wouldn't be performance ready...but then maybe he was just having issues with Scarbo.
I don't know, I just know that I'm a little nervous. The Kapustin is going well though.

The Kapustin Variations were programmed by Alessandro Taverna in 2013 but I don't think he advanced to the semis to play them.

If Teo advances to the semis, he'll be playing Rzewski's Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues.

MikeN--thank you for the link to the Ohlsson master class. So relieved I am not going to need to start pumping iron. LOL That really is the least of my worries after watching all these fabulous programs.

Tristan Teo is among my 3 favorite (have to decide who's the third  ). Seriously, he is so charismatic! Loved his recital.
