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

I think Lugansky is a great pianist - haven't heard Zhang

Lugansky's approach to the Rachmaninoff concertos is just a bit more "epic" than I'd like, but, given this approach, I prefer his performance with Oramo to any of Ashkenazy's of the Third Concerto. (I don't like Lugansky's earlier recording of the Third with Shpiller as well, although I think Amphissa said he prefers that earlier one. Just a bit too much girth for me in that one - LOL!) Another thing I like about the Lugansky/Oramo set is that the balance between piano and orchestra is a bit more realistic than on most recordings, with the solo piano not so artificially highlighted.
