Title: Technically Brilliant-- but not Emotionally
Review: Sorry. That should be three stars above.This is a great work --so powerful you can almost see Pagnini's battle between good and evil brought out by Rachmaninoff. (It was rumored he had a pact with the Devil to play so well).It doesn't come across for me in this recording.There is technical brilliance here. Amazing finger work of incredible speed. But I find it empty of both the darker, threatening visage from the orchestra and the sweet moment of love that tries to 'save' the music's decent into darkness.Yet our other reviewer from South America finds it outstanding. I agree with the first reviewer-- not enough.That love song on Track 19 should lift the listener to a sigh of aching joy and relief from dancing madness. It is among the greatest ever written. It deserves emotion as well as brilliance.
