I really enjoyed this, and I think you did a great job. One piece of advice I'd like to offer is for the passage starting at 1:47, the left hand plays the melody for a bit, so try to bring that out a bit more and maybe play softer on the right hand so your left hand can really sing. :)

you can tell everyone here on youtube Didn't know Rachmaninoff recorded himself playing this on a Ampico Piano roll.

There is nothing underneath the piano.. look again, it's probably just a background! Good playing Gary! Very intimate touch that you put into this piece!

[zachariusz]

That's not Gary Graffman.

[Daggerhart]

There is something, it's called a dolly, and it's used for moving grand pianos. look again. :)

[pianofolle]

what the heck is there underneath piano???

Gary Graffman playing Rachmaninoff got me practicing again after 40 years. His playing transmits a force I feel when I hear him playing. Learning later of his courage, I knew why.
