It's a piece which can easily sound as though it's being performed by a teleprinter, but IMO Schiff makes the E flat major sections sound more human than quite a few of his colleagues do, while being no harsher than they are in the minor key sections. He isn't always my favourite interpreter but I'm not sure what the problem is with this performance TBH.
Doesn't sound like Schiff to me, sounds amateurish. I'm wondering if this is actually a student performing at a Schiff masterclass? Could be a mix of a bad day and a poor recording, but I doubt it. It doesn't sound like his playing to me.
