    I don't know if sheetmusicplus sent me the wrong edition (it says Accompaniment Edition) but it does have the score and the two CDs. In which case, it appears to be the old stocks. I should have ordered directly from the MMO website to get the "newer" stocks just...

    I did in the past. Generally, I agree with the comments here about the strange tempi. For sure, I can't imagine using this cd for a semi-public performance without altering the tempi in certain places. The orchestral accompaniment is a little lethargic and uninspiring but it's fine for practicing purposes and personal enjoyment.

    I agree with the comments here about the strange tempi choices. I can use this for studying and practicing but definitely not for performing even with a small audience. I would alter some of the accompaniment to make it usable.

    The worst thing ever! The tempo is inappropriately set throughout the piece, and it is very hard for the pianist to follow.

  • 2008-10-13 00:00:00.0 Good book - Lousy CD's

    I waited in anticipation for this package to arrive in the mail, only to be disappointed by the majority of its quality. I wish I got to see these review before I bought it. I won't be using the CD's at all. The idea of a practice CD...

    at 20% speed is wonderful. I couldn't tell the difference! Did I accidentally get 2 of the same CD ?? In fact, I believe Artur Rubenstein plays it that slow - which is not slow at all. It would be great if the concept for practice is worked out - for example, you'd be better off with a Midi file that you could bring into Finale and slow down. Maybe it would also be a good idea of beginner, intermediate and advanced speed demos for how to tackle certain runs. I know there are different tips for playing the first 8 chords if you're hands are small.

    I almost didn't buy this MMO CD because of a bad review. I found it to be a lot of fun. I had played this concerto when I was 14 with just another piano and to be able to play along with an orchestra was fabulous. I am an...

    excellent pianist, playing for 60 years.
