Looking through the Amazon community reviews, as I always do for recordings I pick, one person writes,
>January 2005 Update: The most recent issue of "BBC Music Magazine," p. 52, rates recordings of the Second Piano Concerto. Of all modern recordings, this one comes up tops, bettered only by a 1965 recording by Ashkenazy (which I own and find rather lifeless). The reviewer is the British pianist Lucy Parham (who calls this recording a treasure). So all the enthusiasm in these listener reviews is not misplaced. Now if Sony will reissue this in SACD, I will be very happy.

So that's neat. Should be good!
