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

I've got egg on my face!

I mentioned that I hadn't heard the re-recording of the concerto by Heidsieck (i.e., the 90's one with Graf conducting - 1992 to be precise), but I actually DO have it, and I listened to the last movement last night. It's what some might call "interventionist" and not everybody is going to like it. For instance, in this last movement, he plays the very last variation which comes out of the cadenza in the same non-strict rhythm, cadenza-like style. His earlier (French Pathe / EMI) recording with Vandernoot from back in the 60's was more orthodox, although it nevertheless had a strong individuality to it, even within the more conventional framework. He's a great pianist IMHO, despite some misfires every now and then.
