His Prokofiev is magnificent, though.

Bert,

Again, my response would be similar to that of Louis Lortie.  I find every interpretation has something to offer if you look for it.  I have all of Kempf as well including his short stint into some Piano Trios (which I thought were good).  Some of it is good, some average maybe but overall, another talented and very capable player.  Only short coming is marketing appeal and the fact that these guys may not have a broad, mass appeal to a large market that some may look for.
