Extractions: Idol Hands Pianist Jon Nakamatsu enjoys local-hero status at San Jose Symphony performance By Scott MacClelland J UDGING FROM the applause between movements, it must have been a long time ago when Leonid Grin and the San Jose Symphony played Brahms' Piano Concerto no. 2. Just when you think an audience was inspired to attend because "absence makes the heart grow fonder," you run right into that rock-hard disillusionment known as "out of sight, out of mind." Silly me! It was neither of the above, but rather "local boy makes good," Jon Nakamatsu, who was the real draw. Winner of the 1997 Van Cliburn Competition (without benefit of a conservatory education), Nakamatsu continues to enjoy matinee-idol status here at home. Brahms, eat your heart out. For better or not, Nakamatsu made the German composer his own. That is to say he exchanged the work's familiar muscle and grandeur for a kind of miniature version of itself. From the evidence of last Saturday's performance (and the list of concerto collaborations in his bio), Nakamatsu is still on the scanty end of orchestral experience. Where a minimal loudness is required by the terms of orchestral collaboration, Nakamatsu indulged himself in an intimacy that at times disappeared from the aural radar screen altogether.

He currently travels and performs throughout the world.
