Yum. Fantastic stuff from the maestro.
From the LSO/Previn Piano Concerto recordings.
Also, check out the Sibelius T-Shirt :)

  • is that paderewski on his shirt? random guess

  • @musicandminastirith It's Sibelius - hence the 'Finlandia'!

  • i want that shirt.

    sooo badly.

  • Ashkenazy attacks this cadenza like he did Ravel's Scarbo- Not rushed, but very persistant as well as technically flawless. Right now he is my favorite pianist.

  • The other version is just not as good as this one. 

  • Personally, I prefer Andrei Gavrilov's rendition. You kind of need to be really really on top of it in order to avoid making certain sections sound unnatural or stilted. For most recordings, I can almost see the pianist placing each chord methodically. I think especially with the chord section here, you have to have a good combination of control and recklessness... while I love Ashkenazy, I don't think his playing of this part is the best.

  • 2 persons are idiot

  • Horowitz owns Rach 3, in my opinion.

  • I see we have 2 voters who can play better than Ashkenazy

  • @MrRaphaelBM Lazar Berman owns this Cadnezza BUT Ashakanazy does a truly wonderful interpretation, in fact of all, its the most musical I think :)

  • I saw Ashkenazy a ten years ago. In the first half he played Mozart - crap. In the second half Ravel - great. Then Rachmaninov - out of this world. It's in his blood.

  • @MrRaphaelBM true.

  • very good....but not the top.......
