1812 is Tchaikovsky? Cappriccio Italien ditto?

A personal preference is sometimes decried here as "not offering much
information", and I don't have the particular Bruch recording that you
mention, but....

....Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto #2 is "swine"?

I certainly don't hear it that way. Of course, I also put 1812, Marche
Slave, Capriccio Italien, and his Piano #1 and Violin concertos at the
top of my list. I guess this shows where I live?

Cheers,
Ormond
