Played with the freedom, poetry and WIT we never get any more! Great disk. He characterises the intricate rhythms like no one else.

@CurzonRoad BRAVO the Zero filtering!

Much appreciated, Doug. Very nicely produced. Do you have any of the Schumann Carnaval that Rachmaninov recorded.? See what a spoiled brat I am. Anything you post is always welcome. Thanks.

Dazzling, as always, to hear this giant in this charming piece of music that causes one to smile. Rachmaninoff is at the top of my list of great pianists.

@stlivermore oops...Leroy, not Sherwood.

Debussy is where Sherwood Anderson and others arguably cut their teeth. Thanx for sharing SR's wonderful, unique rendition.
Doug, beautiful composition. I imagined the Golliwog doing the cakewalk. Your video was ultra-clear. Thank you.Maya

For me, Rachmaninov is one of the top 3 giants among the great pianists (together with Horowitz and Richter), given his masterly playing and interpretation of not just his own compositions but also those of Beethoven (Schnabel once said Rachmaninov's Beethoven playing was the best he had ever heard), Chopin, Schumann, Schubert and Debussy. He is also a fabulous accompanist (listen to his collaboration with Kreisler in the violin sonatas of Beethoven, Schubert and Grieg). Many thanks, Doug.
