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

Not 3rd World, of course, and wowowow! Thanks for Sokolov link, I assumed if not available on Presto, it

would be forbidden on other download sites as well. (How I wish HD Classics would break up the Maazel Sibelius set.

I'll give you your money back if you don't like it! I would like to see his Mozart and Schumann PC's re-released someday too.

My appreciation for Davidovitch revolved around the 2nd mov't of the 2nd--the way she handles those pearly runs every time the main theme comes back.

The exquisite lyrical stretches of the 1st mov't of the 1st seem to tempt pianists into experimenting with phrasing, etc., when personally I prefer steadiness and delicacy. Rubinstein would be the exemplar here, Earl Wild too, IMHO (and if you find the famous RCA recording a little coarse in the strings, Wild's on Reader's Digest is far better recorded). Sokolov, IIRC never breaks the spell with "imaginative touches" either.
