His playing may not have been quite as brilliant technically

I think that Wright perhaps did not seem as "flashy" as some other players. To me, his technique was never technique for technique's sake. It was always in service to the music. It never seemed flamboyant. You never hear Wright play something at a breakneck tempo just because he could.

At the same time, his technical command was second to none. It was always precise and clean and seemingly effortless. At the same time it always had a lot of shape, nuance and artistry. I think it was partially the effortless aspect that makes his playing so understated. His total mastery and musicality makes it all sound so easy.
