  • this is so much better than LL's performance ... I only wished he didn't take such drastic tempo liberties at the repetition of the introductory exposition. Hough's performance was quite good if you ask me. XD

  • The orchestra is not that good...when Argerich played her Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto, I loved the orchestra part. It was BFO.

  • Is this really NHK SO? WTF?

  • Yep, orchestra sucks really. Hough's trying to put the passion into it but the orchestra are giving him nothing back - they're just plodding through the score. I'm seeing Stephen Hough play here in Bristol on Nov 19th - don't think he can get much worse backup than this lot!

  • Hough's recordings of all the Rachs with Litton/Houston Symphony are the best I've ever heard. Recorded live!

  • :27 he is looking like WTF is wrong with this orchestra. LMAO!

  • I do love to hear Hough play.

  • wow!!!! this really is something else!!! He makes the concerto his own, not an easy thing to manage, he actually has both a fresh and distinct and very individual take on it - WOW agaib! I'm so glad I found this vid - thanks a lot, jackkleijn

    and " faldarazzo: stop splitting hairs and showing off ..............

  • KearneyPiano, Liszt was Hungarian.

  • Guy at 05:40 can't seem to tell the difference between halves and quarters. It's not the conductors fault here, because this dude isn't even looking at this point!

  • WTF ! Can't this orchestra count?! Poor guy must've been shitting in his pants during this. He's trying so desperately to hold it together at times...

  • the archerstra is not good.......

    stephen plays icredible!

    bravo to te pianist!
