It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: "Thunderous crescendos"

I think of that cadenza late in the opening movement of the Rachmaninoff Concerto 3... Horowitz saves the "thunder" for the very end, and plasters the listener to the back wall... Where other pianists time the crescendo too early, and end up running out of steam... (I realize the "running out of steam" often comes from the loud "alternative" cadenza- I do prefer the original "light" cadenza, which Horowitz happened to use.)
