Too bad Rachmaninov liked this one better than himself playing it!

[DAXUREvsPUTIN]

so is the way of thinking too ...)

This is the only interpretation that makes me cry. I feel like he really really got the piece. This is master interpretation, really is, he has right to the very core, we are lucky to have this man's recording, and even lucky to have had a genius like Rachmaninoff so we are able to play such music.

Magic piano and deep notes

Well, I'd say this cadenza is from one of the higher circles of Hell. I mean, some stuff that Rachmaninoff and Liszt wrote came from circles of Hell never thought to exist...

Wow. The effect of the first page in Moisewitsch's performance surpasses any other. My teacher didn't lie about this.

@morvensky Yes, Richter's is excellent but Benno and Alexis hit hard emotionally, Benno more so - where it counts :-)

Moiseiwitsch brings just the right degree of longing and pathos inherent in this masterpiece. Arguably the composers finest prelude.

[JohnEBPiano]

I wish I could steal his fine timbre in the bass notes! The bass chord after the first movement is amazing. BUMMMMMM.

Moiseiwitsch was the master of subtlety.

Here i extracted the history that Moiseiwich tells, of him, this prelude and Rachmaninoff

@Robotman42 There is no such thing as "too much Rachmaninoff." Everybody else just doesn't listen to him enough. :D I've spent the last year trying to learn this piece—BLARGH CADENZA FROM HELLLL but it made me cry the first time I heard it, so it must be worth it. <3

[Robotman42]

I've got to be listening to too much Rachmaninoff. Such good music...
