From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

"A bit...melodramatic?" - No, not at all

Greatest pianist of the twentieth century.

(BTW, I've played this concerto with plenty of people who take a similar level of rubato in that final "apotheosis" section. You'd think that this kind of rubato might throw off the orchestra, but it's surprisingly easy to keep the ensemble perfect with the soloist - or maybe I was just used to it from listening to the Richter recording so much - LOL!)

I mean, if you think that this level of rubato is excessive, what do you say about the "old master" pianists like Paderewski and de Pachmann? (Ever heard the latter's Chopin Second Impromtu? At the very least, it's fun!)
