the Rachmaninov Three is also a monument
of our culture, mighty and magnificent
Andrejs Osokins makes it resplendent,
transcendent
I’d earlier berated him for being unkempt,
unprepared for his, after all, public, and
surely not gratis, performance, but here
he utterly redeems himself, he is
possessed, an instrument of the music
Andrejs Osokins could win, all bets are
therefore off

the Parthenon
______
in the last phase of the Arthur Rubinstein
Piano Master Competition, wherein
contestants play with the Israel
Philharmonic Orchestra, of course
resounding works abound, among those
Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto holds
a revered place, in our culture it stands
right up there with the Parthenon, the
Roman Coliseum, the Cathedral at
Chartres, as an icon, an emblem, of
our civilization
here Seong-jin Cho gives it an impeccable,
an irreproachable, rendering, lights it up,
sets it on very fire
don’t not watch
