Nobu Tsujii
by Beethoven connoisseur
Nobu Tsujii is the best Beethoven and best Chopiin player at this competition. His best performances: Chopin E minor piano concerto, Beethoven Appassionata sonata. I also like his Hammerklavier to some degree, and of course, I admire his Chopin Etudes Op. 10. He is OK with Rachmaninoff and Liszt.
I suspect that being the best Beethoven and Chopin player can gain disproportionally more points from the jury than being 2nd bests.
Haochen Zhang is the all-around guy who plays everything at a very high level. I consider him to be the 2nd best Chopin player at this competition, after Tsujii. He is probably the best all-around pianist at the competition.
