Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.3 in d minor, Op.30 1st movement. This is the live video of The 6th Hamamatsu International Piano Competiton in Japan. Date: Nov. 25, 2006. The pianist, Tae-Hyung KIM won 3rd prize.
Both cadenzas are great, but I prefer the ossia version. This concert is very shady and I think the ossia cadenza matches the concerto character better than the other, which is lighter than the ossia version.
rachmaninoff didn't write the lighter cadenza for horowitz, he merely wrote it as an alternative which actually he prefered; apart from gieseking in '30&'40 no one used the ossia cadenza till much later - this is a brilliant rendition of the ossia, but the shorter one has a lot to commend it, and often adds to a performance - often either cadenza can make or break the flow of a performance - here it comes of wonderfully, just as the short one does for rachmaninoff himself
I like that he plays the original cadenza rachmaninov wrote, not the "horowitz" one. As much as I like Horowitz's recording I hate the cadenza rach wrote for him.
amazing.
