Surely these performances will at the very least be challenging, I
think. He has proven himself to be an excellent Tchaikovsky conductor,
and less idiosyncratic as a conductor than as a pianist. I look forward
to hearing this, as well as to whatever vitriol may be directed at this
post by the usual suspects.

I wonder who those may be?

Pletnev is always an interesting musician to listen to, no matter what
he does. One may not care for it, but it will always challenge your
prior notions of the music.

His interpretation of Rach's Symphony #2 shows strong cohesiveness and
style. He's unpredictable in that way, and although he is a mixed bag
for me, I never count him out.
