I do not believe that blandness is their default when they have had some fun and/or powerful short programs, and a rather sweet exhibition program. They have shown that they CAN do more, why they don't... I don't know. And just because Chopin is classical music doesn't mean that it was the right classical music for them. I recall that program had quite a bit of tinkly piano, which is a very bad look for them. Big, emotional, sweeping music would be better. They should let their elements be the main focus, not have them hidden behind a wall of blah all the time.
I agree. They need more dramatic, programmatic pieces. Rach was good. Maybe they can try Prokofiev, or Stravinsky, or Shostakovich. Or even Webern or something...
