Well he's certainly an opinionated son of a gun, but he's hardly the first person to complain about the sound of Mariinsky recordings, at least those done by Classic Sound.

I have this SACD and Hurwitz is right about the sound in the concerto. The piano is very far forward and the balance is wrong. I didn't enjoy these performances as much as Mr Hurwitz as I found them quite shallow. Virtuoso, yes but there are far more rewarding performances available of both works. At least on RBCD.

The new release of Tchaikovsky Piano Concertos No.1 and 2 has very good sound. Yes, the piano is a bit forward, but it doesn't obscure the orchestra.

PC1 is a battle between the piano and the orchestra.
