i have never heard this piece played like this....

There's amazingly brilliant parts and there are brilliantly frustrating parts. There is no doubt Ivo is a brilliant and eccentric pianist. He is a pianist who is romantically involved with his pieces no matter from which era they are from! He doesn't care for what piece is supposed to be played like in its era. He plays it how it likes hearing it, which is refreshing and frustrating at the same time because as the audience I cannot control his playing. I have a certain taste and look forward to listening to some parts of this piano concerto played in a certain way. Anyway, here's Ivo and Tchaikovsky..... piano concerto in Bflat minor. It's crazy, just sayin'.
