Gilels was a great pianist without doubt, but this performance is too fast.

@SSSLAWWWA If you have the recording, it would be a great gift to us fans of Gilels and piano playing of the highest levels. Michelangeli was probably the only other to make the Rach 4 work

Thank you for posting. My very favorites - Horowitz, Gilels, and Gutierrez.

It's amazing that despite the not state-of-the-art recording Gilels famed golden tone still stands out.

No! Gilel is the absolute master! There are some excellent pianists but non surpass Gilel.
-
Impossible to say anyone was/is/will be better than Gilels on Rach 3rd, other than Rachmaninoff himself performing. I always believed Horowitz was the best, but after hearing this, I know this is the one performance for all time.
Thank you for uploading this and all your other great clips :-)
