I've never looked at the music for this. It's a monumental work though, and my favourite of his concertos. I don't have the Hough recording, though i do have many other recordings of his. Andsnes EMI disc is brilliant, and Lazar Berman on CBS was always one i liked. listening to other performances can only be enlightening, it's not about copying but absorbing what you hear. You must have worked very hard to learn this, and good luck with the performance.
I'm impressed. No 2 is difficult enough and No3 looks much tougher. I like Martha Argerich's recording the best.
