Why is this Concerto so underrared?

I actually think it's his best work! :mad:

Certain moments in the second movement sound to me like somewhat influenced by Jazz. That is of course impossible, for the concerto was composed in Russia 1891!

Why he is underrated I don't know, he is certainly a beautiful and accessible piece, but I'd guess it is because the 2nd concerto is simply better.
