Please stop asking for other recordings, and go buy one. [/QUOTE]

There is no way in heck I have mixed them up. I was listening to Solokov's Rach 3. There was no way I could mix them up. Solokovs interpretation was terrible. He played some parts WAY too fast, he had plenty of mistakes (Yes I know Helfgott has mistakes as well, but not nearly enough as Solokov), and at times he was hopeless at bringing the main theme out.
I'm sorry, but I don't see why People seem to be putting Helfgott down.... He's better than some. The only reason people are probably putting him down is because he might be a little shaky at his playing... but when It comes to Rachmaninoffs 3rd... He has that done fairly well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
Reaper Man -
I'm starting to suspect it's possible you heard a rach3 by ANOTHER Sokolov? It's a common name, ya know...
Becase there is NO WAY in heck X 30 that you heard GRIGORY's Rach3 and can say it's worse that Helfgotts. NO WAY
