Negative Positive
Title: overall excellent
Review: The Nutcracker excerpt was excellently played, and the Rites of Spring interpretation and playing were exceptional. Although the Rites of Spring has been played to death, conductor Rattle managed to give it a fresh and vibrant interpretation. The Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no.3 was also well performed. However, the piano part was overall played at too fast a tempo and with too much egotism and even release of pent-up anger by the pianist. But in general the piano playing was appropriately nuanced and decently controlled. The audio mastering for the blu-ray DVD was excellent, as was the video quality.
