I fell in love with the Piano Concerto no. 3, op. 37 after hearing a live performance on the radio by the Cleveland Orchestra and Mitsuko Uchida on piano. Unfortunately, there are limited options for buying this recording on SACD. I decided to try this one without hearing it. Not good.
Overall the sound is cold and sterile; the strings are strident and even a bit distorted sounding. The piano sound is decent, but the orchestra's sound lacks warmth (i.e., sounds very "digital"). The performance overall sounds stiff and clinical. A big disappointment, especially for an SACD.
