Hi fans! If you are interested in the 1930s-1950s pianists, there is Benno Moiseitwitsch who is very very good. His Rach 2 is on Naxos Historical series. I wonder if his playing is on Youtube. Rachmaninov himself was very impressed with Mr Benno and good friends with him...

@tuberobotto Hi tuberobotto! Each has his own favorite recordings... I heard that Graffman is a great pianist too! Bernstein was also superb as a counductor! Cassettes, CD, mp3s can never match the LPs and vinyls for their warmths and nostalgia.... :-)

@wesmusic2072 I would include Gary Graffman/Bernstein if you don't mind. Graffman's playing has a lot of beautiful elements including the most romantically intense 2nd mov. That is at least, my own honest opinion. I fell in love with it but since the demise of my vinyl copy, searching for a digital version of this exact same recording seems hopeless.

Mr Kapell plays with much passion and fire. He reminds me of Hoffman. Other good Rach 2 recordings are by Earl Wild, Richter and Kissin. Kapell is the most passionate. Even Rachmaninov himself seemed restrained in his recording.

Incredibleee!!!!
Amaziiing

...the reason this has such immediate appeal is that he takes the piano "artifacts", the piano "paraphenalia", the plinky-plink, right out of the sound...people who "hate the sound of the piano" will still go for this guy...

I had to look it up because I heard it was one of Princess Diana's favorites... now I know why! Beautiful!!

This is the finest performance I've heard of this movement.

This is the finest recording I've heard of this piece. Every note is crystal clear.

@weikko79 Kapell's interpretation is one of my top 3 favorites for this concerto. The other two are Richter and Zimerman. Really, they're all so great I can't really pick one that's better than others!

This is a fitting conclusion to one of the greatest Rach 2s ever recorded, and my own personal favorite of all.
