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

RE: Good points - Another Perspective:

I like Rachmaninoff but think of him as a minor master. I really (really) do not understand how his 3d piano concerto has achieved such status as it apparently has. I prefer the 2d as an entire piece, prefer the cello/piano sonata to both, and suspect that his best music is in his songs.

My favourite Rach 3 movement is its first. That movement, for me, is (considerably) most musically performed by its author notwithstanding the technical flaws I have been directed to notice by various. My (so far) 2d choice (above all others) is that of Arkady Volodos who, lamentably, is barely audible among current. (For me, Volodos is similarly great on his meagre Schubert and on his Mompou.)

Should I duck?
