Title: Simply the finest of recordings...
Product review: I have over ten different recordings of the first and second concerto played by many pianists from Ashkenazy to Horowitz. I have to say that these recordings are among some of the most amazing I have ever heard. First of all, I am not sure how anyone could rate this with one star. Just simply by listening to Zimerman's playing alone should make you think twice about what you just heard. Zimerman provides one of the most amazing and fluid recordings of these works and the orchestra led by the legendary Seiji Ozawa provide nothing less than spectacular sound. This is among my favorite recordings ever made, up there with the Goldberg Variations by Gould. If you found this recording to be anything but spectacular, you probably didn't go into listening with an open mind. Throw away everything you know about Rachmaninov's works and pop in this CD and relive these concertos. You will be blown away. Bravo!
