I have never heard the 1981 version.
But I love the way he performs it in Two Portraits. His moves
were much more flowing and natural during that age and the music sounded more
unique. The older he got, the more he started moving like a machine and playing
too precise. There are also some performances where he moved in the same
tiny circle over and over again through ought the whole piece. Ha. I never saw
him do this when he was younger. (but maybe someone else has seen footage where
he has?)
Zeldah Ps.) I like his first recordings of the G.V. much better.
