I think it was Berman's weighty tone, heard here, that was one of his hallmarks - yet it never sounded like 'bashing'. This is a very powerful and dramatic account. I heard Berman play this transcription live in London's Royal Festival Hall at around the time of this recording - his main rival on that occasion was Kissin who was making an appearance in London's Barbican Centre at precisely the same time!
