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

"Sibelius was a great composer"

That's exactly what I said to my wife when that performance ended. Funny!

Re piano concertos, I can understand your reaction to the Tchaikovsky more than I can to the Rachmaninoff. As a piano accompanist, I've played the orchestra part to both concertos on a second piano a number of times, and for me, the Rachmaninoff has a much more interesting orchestra part than the Tchaikovsky does. I don't deny that parts of both concertos are indeed "piano solo with orchestral accompaniment" - that's just the nature of a concerto (unless you want to go back to the Bach Concertos!), although it's true of some more than others. You must really detest the Chopin concertos! ;-)
