He really has a fast style, but manages to play it so nicely

Hermosísimo :)

The 30 seconds from 4:50 to the end are one of my favorite moments in music. It's definitely an underrated piece, particularly this movement.

It strikes me that this movement proves once again that the most beautiful parts of Rachmaninoff's music can only be found by the attentive listener. 2:53 is a moment of pure bliss, although I strongly recommend to start listening from the beginning to hear the music build up to this subtle climax.

As well as the composers unique playing the Phiiladelphia strings have a radiance which is beautifully captured on this historic recording.

@KevinR3i Great comment, sent you a friend invite :-)
How on earth did you get such a magnificent sounding issue of this ancient recording? What was your source, please? How marvelous to hear the composer play his own music in such unadulterated sound!

@billyguns2 I think I was just lucky haha. I found this CD of digitally remastered Rachmaninoff recordings on the internet and just had to have it.

I agree - this is a very interesting movement. It has been described as bein similar to a Chopin Nocturne in style, but with a definite Rachmaninoff edge :)
