Of all extant recordings of this piece that I have heard (which, truthfully, is not many), this is the BEST. Rach has a wonderful rythm, wonderful tempo and in part at least that carries the entire song--shows me what I need to incorporate in my own piano playing, learning Chopin's Ballade #1.

@barbarossa333 Your description of what Rachmaninoff has accomplished here is so right on and also so poetically stated; you've made the point as well as it could be made without hearing the actual work and that's certainly no easy thing to do..
Indeed, it reminded me of the Wikipedia article on him; I think it's just about one of the best entries of all the Wikipedia articles I've ever read; check it out; since you've communicated to me as you have about Rachmaninoff I know you'll enjoy it.

@SatchmoSings They do - sad thing is so many out there have no idea what they miss, they have never heard Rachmaninoff performing his own concerti and other composers.
This performance is so perfect...so hard-hitting...an emotional rollercoaster - to mention or discuss other soloists would be futile.
-
do i need to say its the best interpretation i ever heard b4?
-
@newFranzFerencLiszt That is very likely Rach's intention :-)) And this is a pure and massive expression of emotion, he brings out the essence of the composition - nothing more. This is surreal, as are all of his performances.
-
so fast... it's so disturbing... and so strong, massive sound. Incredible!
-
@Chopinco he was not a super that one
-
the last movement (beginning at 6:05) is so unique...death & music together forever... thanks Rach
-
idk if i like it or not

This is all most interesting (the comments); you'd think that with the four extant recordings of Rachmaninoff playing his own concerto that recordings by OTHER piano soloists would generate some of the same, uh, "spirited" discussion but they largely do not.

im really sure that Rachmaninoff knew what he was doing =) being an excelent pianist and a super excelent composer =) he can do anything to every piece he plays since he had the knowledge to do it =)

I hate pianists who think you should not play music the way you think it should go. To some extent this is true but you want to hear the piece played through yourself. I think Rachmaninoff finds a good mix in between to interpretive and under interpretive.
