His Rachmaninov CD is at least as good a listen.  I have information on
what others think (critics) at

Obviously I enjoy his playing.  The new Beethoven is out in Europe and
Tower imports it but I haven't heard it yet.

As for Lang Lang, while many I know are not struck very positively by his
solo recital CD, the reviews of his Grieg Concerto at Carnegie have been
rather positive:

Although the NY Times one is unnecessarily vague, some people who didn't
like the CD did enjoy the Carnegie concert, while one piano-critic on
another forum didn't enjoy it.
