I had a version by Rubinstein recorded in the 40s. It was amazing! It is too bad we cannot have all three movements to hear. To me, this is the finest piano concerto and Rubinstein does it best. There is a combination of sweetness and majesty of sound that is compelling and beautiful.This piece touches all my senses and leaves my heart soaring.

Rubinstein looked at women from the stage, he did this to find a certain 'connection' to find someone truly special and he thinks listens to him better than any other. no wonder women melt in Rubinstein's playing. and what better way to do it than with this movement of Rachmaninoff!

Two years later, I have 3 grandchildren. The oldest one, almost 4 years old, loves this music. Soon we will have a new grandchild. She will be brought up to love this music.

I have an LP with Rubenstein and Ormandy and I think it is the best of the best. Oh how I wish it were available on CD or DVD now.

Read the story of Rubinstein's squabbling with Reiner during the recording of this. Once Rubinstein said, "Fritz, I want to do it again to clear up some mistakes." Reiner looked up to heaven and said, "Oh, Arthur, if we stayed to clear up all your mistakes we'd be here for a week." Whereupon Rubinstein stormed out of the rehearsal. They never worked together again after that.

Most beautiful movement of any concerto, and best version ever in my opinion is the first movement of this played by Rubinstein

If God ever were to sing to us, it would surely sound like this.

You honor me, mirrors1. I thank you.

I think this is the recording made with Reiner in the '50s, not the one with Golschmann or the one with Ormandy.

Is this the performance with Golschmann, Stokowski, Reiner, or Ormandy, or someone else?
