  • Gorgeous, even if a bit "fey" for my taste in this music; this is a hard movement to convincingly bring off, and only Rene Leibowitz gets it exactly "right" in my experience. William Steinberg, Guido Cantelli, and Carlos Kleiber also recorded wonderful 7ths.

  • this is great, only if it could be longer.

  • This is phenomenal - look how little Pletnev does -he holds the sound in his upper body, he doesn't even really beat time so the orchestra gets to listen to each other's rhythm. However he pushes and pulls the sound with his one hand and shoulders for diminuendos and crescendos and thus the whole group swings upwards and downwards with him. However, to my taste it lacks a bit of edge due to him being so laid back. Perhaps he adds that for the concert?
