Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No 3 Rodriguez Tabakov Reviews
Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto
- Thread starter Czilla9000
- Outset date
Hi,
I was digging through my mother'southward CD collection and found one of the soundtracks to the movie "Shine". It included the Rachmaninoff 3rd Pianoforte Concerto.
Is it truthful that the "Rach 3" is the hardest slice in the world?
Is there any essiential recording to get?
I similar Rachmaninov Pianoforte No 3 & Tchaikovsky Piano No 1, played by Argerich on the Philips characterization.
--Chris
Need I say more? Horowitz and Argerich
Tyson
Headphoneus Supremus
Ashkenazy with Previn conducting the London Symphony - played more than as an emotive masterpiece and non just a chance to prove off pianist bravura.

Santiago Rodriguez' recording (pic is linked) is listed with a Rosette (special class, outstanding recording, etc.) and as a Key Recording (used equally a basis for a personal collection) in the 2003/four Edition of the Penguin Guide to Compact Discs.

Must exist careful since there are two Argerich/Phillips versions in the catalog, you lot desire the older one paired with an amazing alive functioning of Tchaikovsky Piano ane......which makes this CD absolutely essential to any classical collection......purchase this now!
Argerich/Phillips
For older mono recordings the standard has been Horowitz/RCA/Reiner recorded in1951, Rachmaninov himself has said that Horowitz was best performer of his 3rd concerto (even better than his own recordings!). There is newer stereo version done with Ormandy on RCA but the performance and sound quality are not pinnacle notch.
Have not heard the new Rodriguez/Elan version Fractus mentions.
You should really just go a budget complete concerto one-iv set also. I ain several, most common is the Ashkenazy/London set which is OK only not my fav (a bit likewise relaxed for my taste), I would go with the Wild/Chandos set as a starting betoken myself........Wild has tremendous panache that comes closer to Horowitz prime versions.

I take this CD and it's as good as they say. You'll recognize the Tchaikovsky for sure.
How-do-you-do, although this isn't the tertiary, you may as well want to bank check out Helene Grimaud's version of Piano Concerto #ii (et al) on Teldec. The recording isn't the greatest, merely her playing is wonderful (this from someone who is not a big classical listener for the well-nigh part). I tin can hear her breathing as she pounds the keys on several passages...she really seems to play that piano.
Did I mention she's quite like shooting fish in a barrel on the optics?
The other recording of her I have playing Beetoven's Pianoforte Concerto #4 (et al) is also just medocre, at best.
Great playing, poor recording, again. Unfortunately, classical seems to suffer from this malady quite a bit.

while you lot're at it, why not find out more about the other rach pianoforte concertos?
ashkenazy / previn / london symphony orchestra
here'southward an excellent set of the complete 4 rach piano concertos. i take it and i can testify to its recorded quality.
I have the Agerich/Philips for some time at present, and it is indeed brilliant. The Tchaikovsky Concerto on the same CD is very good equally well.
I have the Ashkenazy gear up adhoc mentioned too, and it's pretty practiced too. I saw Ashkenazy live when he was hither in Singapore (though he played the Mozart Piano Concerto #27) and it'due south brilliant.

Formalism old guy, bifocals and all.All the philosophy he tin can muster tin't solve the mysterious double-post.
The Helfgott is sorry. In improver to those mentioned, the Berman/Abbado is nice--especially in the cadenza.
Oddly, Rach's ain recorded operation is not peculiarly distinguished.
I wouldn't carp with the Grimaud unless you lot've got video.

haha that reminds me, iirc that apparently rachmaninov commented to the people around him at a concert that he wished he played his own pieces like horowitz did.
I've been listening to the Rodriguez' recording and it's some beautiful playing. I even so tin't get used to hearing people cough though during the performance. Don't they laissez passer out lozenges?

It'south a worldwide miracle. You lot hear them in recordings, you hear them in live performances everywhere. It becomes well-nigh like a tradition to cough or clear your throat between intervals. 2nd most irritating to latecomers in a concert.

Personally, I like Rachmaninov's ain recordings of his preludes far more than Horowitz's, even if they are all scratchy and onetime.
For the third, I really like Yefim Bronfman's version on Sony Classics with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Esa Pekka Salonen. He is non quite likewise known, just I think this is a top notch recording. I am also a huge fan of any Rachmaninov that Sviatoslav Richter plays...though I have non heard his third (the 2nd is keen).
