Both performances have their merits. Sokolov is better in terms of technicality (after all, Rubinstein was very old in this recording) but I prefer Rubinstein's interpretation of this concerto - he plays so colourfully and full of passion. It really shows that he heard Saint-Saëns himself perform this.
@@pyotr-ilyich-tchaikovsky Rubinsteins was the first performance of this piece I've heard and I do agree that it's extremely beautiful in the first movement, but sokolov's 2nd and 3rd movements really just stuck with me lol
very effective and powerful. "The capricious changes in style provoked Zygmunt Stojowski to quip that it "begins with Bach and ends with Offenbach."" - do not really agree, the movement feels coherent
I agree, it does feel like a coherent concerto overall. I do see what he meant; the opening of the first movement is quite different in style to the latter movements, but I don't really see that as a bad thing. It's a fantastic piece of music in my opinion.

thank you for this great video
You're very welcome!
I had made a score video with sokolov's performance and loved to see someone else do a full score video with rubinsteins performance!
