this rendition of Tchaikovsky's concerto is wanting. Just my opinion. Still very good, but.............
It doesn't help that a certain member of the audience coughs louder than the orchestra at times. But that is usually what happens during a live performance..........heavy sigh.
I have the recording of Van Cliburn and his winning performance of this concerto. Excellent to say the least. Another performer that comes to mind is Anna Fedorova. She is simply marvelous.
