Near the climax of this piece ("the point" as Rachmaninoff would say), I played a chord incorrectly, but oddly enough it almost works. If I were to re-record the piece someday, I would certainly fix that glitch. I would call your attention though to the last couple of lines or so of the piece. Some pianists slow the tempo there very noticeably in order to accommodate the huge rolls, playing it ad libitum or a piacere. The problem is that Rachmaninoff made no indication or allowance in the score to that effect. In this version you'll hear it played up to tempo as written, although it's far more difficult to do so, even with large hands. I should also point out that practicing that last segment repetitively can be danagerous. To avoid any problem, I limited myself to short time intervals only. If discomfort appears, it's time to stop!
Update: I deleted the CD cut (29 downloads) and replaced it with the original source tape recording which offers better fidelity.
