That is one of the four versions I knew from before. It ranks mediocre only on my scale, I find the tempi to be manged not too well - too rushing where he should take a bit more time and subtlety for the most, and the expression too shallow were more emotional nuances were needed while too expressive where a bit more restraint imo would have been the way to go. Not a bad recording, but also not an exceptionnel one, in one word I would say the artistic impression is a bit "dysbalanced". It seems it is in general very popular in North America, but less so in Europe, or am I wrong there?
Well, nuances of taste.
