The Kocsis/De Waart Rachmaninov pcs plus the second sonata plus the
Sym 2 and Vespers are on a 5 cd box from Decca/Universal (or whatever
it is called) at less than 20 bucks from Amazon.
I'm especially interested in opinions on the 4 piano concerti. For
whatever it's worth, the Third Ear book describes theese concerti as
"exciting if sometimes superficial".

Do you like them?
Yes, but I never think to listen to them. Too fast. I have come to

As Arrau said "speed is the enemy of passion", and fuel economy for
