"I have to say that piano concertos in general are not my cup of tea.....many of them, and the Rach 3rd is one, come across as a piano solo with orchestral accompaniment.....to me, boring compared to an actual symphony. "
Try Brahms's piano concertos. The piano here seems to me to be more integrated into the orchestra parts; more of a dialogue than piano vs. orchestra.
Would you agree Chris from L. ?
I love the Sibelius 3rd. Have yet to hear it live.
