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

Yup - I've got that set in its earlier Canyon incarnation too!

And I think you hit the nail on the head with your description of the qualities present in the performances. The only thing I'd amend is that, although the performances are indeed a bit "roughly played", the orchestral playing sounds positively suave compared to some of Svetlanov's earlier recordings, where orchestral untidiness was itself raised to an art form! (But even here, Svetlanov still wasn't within hailing distance of some of the still earlier recordings by Nikolai Golovanov as far as complete orchestral dishevelment was concerned! Jee-zus! Some of those Golovanov/Liszt recordings!)

Don't get me wrong, I love Svetlanov's performances from his whole career (even some of the occasionally messy earlier ones - it comes with the territory!).
