Title: Disappointing
Product review: I cannot stand this recording! And I've tried so hard to like it ever since I purchased it over a year ago. As others have mentioned, it's a cold, hard-heartened, unemotional and uninvolving interpretation from Pletnev, and it is, frankly, boring. The best thing about it is the Arthur Rackham art-work used on the CD cover and inner booklet.As someone mentioned below, of especial annoyance, even if I had liked the performance, is the extraordinarily irritating 'humming' by Pletnev as he directs the orchestra. Perhaps if the performance was better it would not have been such an issue but it's really quite unbearable.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
