Ts,
It's a bootleg, I don't think Rach 3 is suited for Hamelin though. It's a 'bangers' concerto.

Pianojerome, Perhaps I should have said "show off" concerto, very few people attend a rach 3 to 'listen', they attend to 'watch'.

It's a tough piece, and a lot of people probably don't play it so well. But there are some truly musical performances out there. And yes, I have seen it - on a VHS by Horowitz - and he makes it look incredibly easy. Some parts look hard, but most of it under Horowitz looks so very comfortable.

Ashkenazy is Rachmaninoff reincarnated, and for those who are looking for any recordings, this is the site.

Feb2000, I"ve got a VHS of Horowitz performing the Rach 3 with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic. It's quite good, especially for a 75-year-old man with 75-year-old fingers...

89th Key has been raving about Nato Ts'vereli over in "The New Coffee Room." It's the only recording that he's heard of this concerto, and he's so in love with it!
Anybody else heard of this pianist? (I haven't!) Thank you Pianojerome. Nothing on the Carnegie Hall 1978 concert? Why does the cd of that concert mention that some parts were re-recorded after the concert? Is it why there is no video of it?... Does anyone knwo why Richter never recorded it (nor played?...)?...

Richter never recorded it, because he felt he didn't need to. In his mind, there were already so many good recordings of it, and he wanted to spend his time recording other repertoire.

Apparently he didn't record it because Gavrilov played it so well.
Same goes for the Brahms 1st Concerto(Gilels), the Chopin 1st(Neuhaus) and the Beethoven 5th(Neuhaus again).

I've always wondered what Stewie was doing in that picture. I couldn't tell if he was like moving a rock or something but now I do know. Heh speaking of Family Guy, I just bought the DVD set and their a little scene in which Stewie is giving a piano lesson and he tells the kid the wrong note in a simple melodie are electificed so the kid hits a wrong note and says he doesn't want to play piano. Then I laughed even harder when Stewie says, what, do you want to play the bassoon lol. And a girl playing bassoon is over a pool of water with a shark in it and it lowers when she squeeks lol.
Sorry for going off topic.
I only have one recording of Rach 3 and that is Ashkanezy with LSO-Previn. I enjoy it although I think I need another one. But there are so many! I think I'll just read through this thread(again).
