Tipi's comment

Møldrup’s first round looked fine until I noticed he’d chosen Popper’s Elfentanz op. 39 to end with. I know I’ve criticised the performance by many of works of lesser artistic merit (especially since they don’t have to). I’ll nevertheless try to keep my ears and my mind open and listen before faulting his choice.
Own pianist. Good!
