"Middle-of-the-road, enjoyable renditions of the Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff that unfortunately are also possibly a bit too anonymous. Pleasant as background and warmly recorded, this disc is nice while it's on and then forgotten as soon as it's removed. Still, the way they build the variations in the second movement of the Tchaikovsky is fun. Argerich/Kremer/Miasky are more impassioned, but more than that, they bring more *personality* to the work, and I'd recommend that overall more. (It also has the electricity of being live, but the sonics are excellent and the audience is silent.) As for the work itself, it requires stamina. It's long, and loquacious, as Bruno Walter might say. Sometimes Tchaikovsky, especially in his earlier-to-middle works, let form get away from him. We're nearly approaching Mahler-lengths here, and this is a chamber work. Still, it can be enchanting, if the mood is right and the seat cushions are soft."
