Review title: Pretty lifeless
Product review: Just to counter the other reviewers, I must say that I find this performance to have a deadening effect on me, and I have listened to it several times. The tempos are on the slow side, and the chance taking is nil, as is any sense of passion. I am a big fan of Rudolf Serkin's playing, usually finding it passionate and spiritual, but, perhaps due to his age when this recording was made, I find these qualities lacking here. Of course, everything is competently played, but that is all the good I can say about it. I am sorry I purchased this recording, and do not recommend it.
