Stupid. No wonder pianism is a dying art, and we get jokers like smith.

I would have loved to hear Rachmaninoff play Tchaikovsky piano concerto.....
-
Troika is the reason I memorize IMPOSSIBLE names like TCHAIKOVSKY and RACHMANINOFF.
-
No offense to Rachmaninoff, he's amazing, but for this piece I really like Oborin's version. This is my favorite Season!

After SVR most "performers" sound like clowns. He is so truthful, simple, logical - unbeatable...

@MrEbaby2010 There is Rachmaninoff! All else and all other "interpreters" have and will fade away into dust motes :-)

The outer sections(s) and the middle part differ greatly in terms of the tempo. I really appreciate the interpretation of Rachmaninoff on this pieces and equally respect others' rigth fo comment. there's no absolute right or wrong answers in the world of music!

Very refreshing to hear this interpretation by perhaps the greatest pianist/composer of the 20th century.

Heres the thing namitarelalia; the way you play this piece, it seems to be a song about Spring; I won't say your interpretation is wrong, but I would say that I much prefer Rach's. It much better reflects the month of November, which is probably why Rach's interpretation of this piece is considered the authoritative one.

Dear namitarelalia;
You have a very long way to go before you could respond to Rachmaninoff's performance. May be you have to listen to Rachmaninoff more to get an idea "how it should be played"...

Sorry. Didn't mean to offend. But I thought I would inject a little humor into the observations of others about the tempo.

No offense whatsoever! ;)

Rachmaninoff may have been a master, but this piece describes a spirited team of three horses pulling a sledge over the snow. I guess the horses were tired, or perhaps slowed down to admire the scenery.

Rachmaninoff IS THE MASTER!
The piece is much more than a description of a "spirited team of three horses" - it's about human feelings, not about horses and sledge.
Rachmaninoff played this piece for Tchaikovsky in his childhood as a Christmas gift. "Troika" is a symbol of Russia for great Russian writers and poets. Rachmaninoff turned this miniature into poetic masterpiece... You missed something very important here.
