Title: Find a better performance elsewhere
Review: There are so many performances of the B-flat to be found on record that one has to wonder why this one had to be published. Is is completely lackluster, Ax finding difficulty in meeting the technical and interpretive challenges of this large-scale piece. Even Haitink (one of my favourite conductors) seems to have sat this one out, leaving a metronome in his place. Save your money on this one and buy one of the many better performances out there.
