      Perhaps he didn't want to show favoritism. It's called "being objective". He's neither one of the judges, nor one of the audience members; his job is simply to follow the conductor and accompany the soloists. He probably didn't stand for any of the other finalists either.

      I suggest you get a good pair of headphones, or earbuds (not using laptop or monitor speakers) and then listen again very carefully. I 100% guarantee that you will hear a subtle cough, one from a person who is clearly trying their best to hide it. It sounds like 'Ekhh Ekhhh' - two slight but certainly audible noises that sound exactly like a human coughing. The 15 other people who assumedly agree with me on this have also liked my post too. If you still can't hear it book in an audiologist appointment as you're certainly missing some hearing abilities. Ps . Thanks for dredging up a 3 year old post, i'd forgotten all about it!

    I'm guessing the Leeds Competition is held somewhere in the UK. This piano has a distinctive Steinway sound with its staccato tone and distinctive treble . I think for Beethoven it would have been better w/ a Yamaha CFX with its longer sustain and stronger bass. I didn't pay much attention to Lu when he was at the Chopin competition but his playing here shows an impressive ability of the first order. This conductor and orchestra didn't properly accompany nor even is in sync w/ the pianist. The conductor who knows how to accompany soloists is Seiji Ozawa but he's retired.
