  • Too bad that he takes the cuts here. But still, who plays with more fire than Kapell. The most underrated pianist of the past 100 years, no question. This is incredible.

  • @pingalaida there is a other stuning version from 1948

    with Toronto Symphony Orchestra/Sir Ernest MacMillan, conductor

  • Kapell, truly a great great pianist who was taken from us way too early. Thank you for the post.

  • As good as it gets. TY SSS for posting.

  • Thank you for posting this. Kapell was, IMO, the Master of this work. I'm not taking anything away from Horowitz, but, to me, Kapell's performances are richer, more in line with Rachmaninoff's "culminating point" philosophy of performance, and, I hate to say it, but even on an old poppy scratchy recording like this, I still can hear almost every single note shining through.

  • Thank you for this recording. Excellent stuff.
