This is a superb performance. The flow is so ellegant and each line in this piece so beautifully integrated as a whole, perfect use of pedal comparing to Brendel version in which one hear ugly percussive sound. If you look at each stroke in a painting you will not see the beauty of the whole picture. Tempo becomes irrelevant when so well balanced. So delicately yet powerfully Perahia conveys many colours and intense emotions through this performance, one of the precious pianist left today.
......Now play the 3rd Rachmaninov Concierto about "twice" as fast as it's supposed to be and see how it sounds....

why are they all so fast - it's meant to be alegro, not prestissimo

There's another clip of this concert on youtube but it's from a lower angle, so I assume that the other person was seated lower than you were.

Can't believe he played it so fast. I have heard slower, and better, played by him before.
