Rachmaninoff Cadenza -Andre Watts-

I usually love Watts, but this is not to my liking. Maybe I've been listening to Argerich's version too much.

[ChrisWatch]

@TheArithrix Maybe so, but the "Ossia Cadenza" has a more grandde staff compared to the only one Agerich plays which is a smaller version of this cadenza. If you view the music sheet you will see Rachmaninoff did more than make it shorter and smaller but less meaningful. I'm sure Horowitz and Rachmaninoff both said in a way that the Original Cadenza seemed too much like an ending, and I believe even Hofmann declined playing this, so the cadenza in my opinion is a big part of this Concerto.

Andre Watts is so underrated.

[oktalp]

Whose lack of confidence? Certainly not Rachmaninoff's. He was a brilliant pianist!!

[mikeinkc]

I wonder if anyone has written or recorded a non-Rach cadenza? It would be intersting to hear..

[Ettoredipugnar]

@TheArithrix Listen to Van Cliburs recording.

[fierydog]

This is wonderful. Anyone who plays the ossia cadenza this fast, and with this much emotion has my vote (I absolutely love how Van Cliburn plays it, don't know if anyone does better). I don't know if I like the hybrid of it though, this is my first time hearing the hybrid, and I think you have to either go original or ossia. The best part of the original cadenza is not the introductory part (which he plays) but the scherzando part, which I believe he switched to Ossia right before the scherzando

Thank you for posting the "Ossia" cadenza. A fine job!

[Ettoredipugnar]

I have this recording. And I can never make up my mind about it. What throws me off is the 3rd movment. There is a very small cut ruines it for me ? (shruggin my shoulders )To me the ultimate recording is the Cliburn.

[avalokiteshivara]

Brilhante interpretação!

[castecor1]

André Watts para mi es el mejor pianista, no se le ha dado el reconocimiento que merece.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

I have listened to this exact recording of the 3rd sooo many times. It is probably my most favorite. The synchronization with the orchestra makes this recording very likable.

i love i can take marybeth to performance

[tenorismo]

This is my secound favorite recording of Rach 3.
