You know me - I hate anything overblown and melodramatic....I'd lob the opening into the same bag as Tchaikovsky's piano concerto or Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2. No need to wake the dead here....
I like pieces that announce themselves politely and with a sense of mystery. Falla's Noches for instance. Love the opening of Beethoven's 31/3 for instance - just perfect. Or several of the others like 10/3, 27/1, 101, 109, 110. He can get it right when he wants to.
