Pompa-Baldi is amazing, but the orchestra's interpretation is not very good...

I remember seeing him play a full piano transcription of Totentanz as part of the Van Cliburn follow up series in Ft. Worth. He wiped his head afterward and flung his hands downward in sheer exhaustion. A very powerful pianist in my opinion.
