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

RE: Rach 2

From purely a read perspective, Eivind Gullberg Jensen is maybe the closest to Shipway's read I've encountered..... The tempos and balances throughout were almost identical. Especially the first three movements. The main difference is the "Radio Filharmonisch Orkest" didn't have close to the horsepower that Cleveland (circa 1980) had..... (I recognized the Amsterdam Concertgebouw hall, but it was not the resident orchestra.) From purely a read standpoint, almost without flaw.

In the final movement of the Rach Two, there is a trumpet passage in the primary melody.... Counterpoint to the strings.... I have yet to hear a performance that comes even close to Cleveland's trumpet section in Shipway's performance.
