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
