Neutrality issue

Would the editor who tagged this as POV like to help us out by coming here and explaining just what the perceived problem is. -- JackofOz (talk) 14:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Original Tchaikovsky

One other original version he championed was Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto. This version does not have the crashing piano chords in the introduction, but instead has weak, pathetic, insipid arpeggios. I had the good fortune to see Frager perfoming this, in the Brisbane City Hall of all places, in the early 70s or late 60s. While I was glad to hear the piece as Tchaikovsky originally conceived it, I'm very glad that he beefed up the intro to the version we know today; so it seems that Nikolai Rubinstein did us all a service. We should probably say something about this work. I don't know if Frager ever recorded it. -- JackofOz (talk) 14:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
