Football is rubbish.
It's complete perfection in its construction - a fast alla marcia section at the start and end - the end section being blisteringly fast and difficult - and with an andante section in the middle. Rachmaninov's music was often slated for being too drawn out (though many of his themes do need time to breathe and develop); in any case, at only a few minutes long, this little gem is over before it's begun, despite having managed to express three complete moods.
After the first alla marcia section, the middle section is so achingly beautiful and lush that it's difficult to understand how a piano, a percussive instrument, can produce such a melifluous sound. But that's because it's not in the gear, it's in the fingers, as we are fond of saying, and this performance by Kissin is one of the very best. Listen to how he can weave the various parts together during the slow part and bring out the long melodic lines, which don't leap out from the score - you have to be so skilled to find them and make them live.
