Kolesnikov's CD of Tchaikovsky's The Seasons is a joy, just lovely. As for his Rachmaninov ,despite being more or less note perfect he simply didn't "get" the concerto. Despite such digitatious perfection it was an inconsistent and lifeless performance which only took off in the last three minutes where everything slotted into place and which were tremendous.
Yes I agree with all that. I switched in the mistaken belief that Jurowski was conducting and would love to hear him take on these two masterpieces one day. Maybe Sinaisky was a shade bland in the symphony and the performance owed much to the very impressive LPO response.
