  • Thank you.  What an exciting performance.

  • @sasha42196 You're welcome! I was surprised when I came across this recording because I did not realise Gilels had recorded it - not one of his more well known recordings for sure. Another obscurity I would be interested in is his recordings of the complete Tchaikovsky concerti which I noticed on ebay for sale (LP).

  • Very lovely interpretation . E sensibile e bello- GRANDE

  • He takes interesting approaches in some places but I think you have to appreciate that. Gilels is one of my favorite interpreters of romantic music.

  • @Bret6464 Yes... Gilels was a Poet!!!

  • Extraodinary! A surreal and poetic rendition, immensely beautiful. Gilels was the true disciple of Rachmaninoff !!!

    Thank you for the upload :-)
