This concerto is such a wonderful and breathtaking masterpiece, and Van Cliburn's interpretation is just amazing, exiting and emotional!!

So, this is a bit picky, but between :29 and :30 he flubs the arpeggios just a tiny bit; there is one off note there... but you have to listen close.

@jjp009 That's because it sounds like Richard Halley's 5th piano concerto, "The Concerto of Deliverance" from Atlas Shrugged! People think Ayn Rand was inspired by Rachmaninoff's 2nd when she wrote the description of Halley's 5th in the text.

who said that clasical music will put u to sleep? wrong.. WRONG!!!!!! what a excellent pianist, so natural and dramatic. it seems like he ran out of keys to hit and notes to play

It's quite interesting to compare the Tchaikovsky competition now & 50 years ago.

Van Cliburn did not appear to be playing for a piano competition but rather for an audience. That’s what made this performance and the others a great success.

@jjp009 YES! Spot on!
Anyone else get the spinal shivers starting at 5:08 and all the way to the end? I did. What an amazing pianist and the orchestra/conductor did a superb job backing him as well.
