It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I think i've found another pianist who has large hands and plays with a similar flatish hand technique. I was looking for recordings of Beethoven Op 119.4 Bagatelle in A and noticed a similar way of playing.
It seems the embedded video ignores my time marking. I was hoping to start you at the beginning of the fourth Bagatelle which starts at 5:53.

This doesn't really answer your question, but Horowitz didn't always play with a flat hand - watch him play Mozart - his fingers are curled. I always thought it had more to do with what key he was in and the style of the music he was playing. Romantic music with lots of black keys - flat hand. Mozart in D Major - curled fingers.
I think a Fazioli is my dream piano. In a world where I had the means to not just to buy one but the house for it to belong in.
