My impression of his playing from this one concert agrees with your 
more informed one. He isn't a shrinking violet, but he never makes 
you feel like he's in it for himself. As for the mix, my hi def 
broadcast had DD 5.1, which can vary greatly from DTS surround in 
just the areas that would point to the discrepancy in our reactions. 
DTS is often mixed louder with greater bass. Low frequency tones were 
subdued in my feed.
