It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Batiashvili's new Tchaikovsky VC, really looking forward to it, but....

My reaction to this recording (both Tchaikovsky and Sibelius) is much closer to Gramophone's (January Recording of the Month) than yours. I find her fresh take exciting and valid, and Barenboim is in complete sympathy backing her up with a wonderful orchestral accompaniment.

I agree that the Heifetz/Reiner Tchaikovsky is the gold standard. It is a light, fleet, self-propelled performance that is always a delight to hear. But there are many ways to play these concertos, and this new album shows how excellent other ways can be. You might want to listen to the rest of the album. It's available on Tidal, Apple Music, and maybe Spotify.
