Rosa Tamarkina plays Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 2, C minor, ор.18 (3/3)

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

Something quirky happens at the end but somehow it doesn't detract from this superb performance. I can't think of a "modern" pianist who does it better.

Yes, it's strange. Those sudden bass C's, D's and E's......Could she have been trying to "catch up"? Enigmatic. Otherwise, another HUGE movement by this gal....a real bulldozer storm-trooper....she should've lived forever....BRAVA

Tamarkina plays the bit starting at 10:40 somewhat differently than I've heard other pianists play it. Is she using an alternative score or something?

The sound quality is AMAZINGLY good for a recording made in 1948!
