I somehow misplaced my CD of the Rach3 PC (more likely loaned it out and never got it back).  But no problem - I'd love to hear another version anyway.    Who is your favorite ??

Andsnes is my favorite.  His playing is luminous--you can hear absolutely everything.

Horowitz is my absolute favorite, but I have to say Gilels did an AMAZING Rach 3, and Zoltan Kocsis' too is VERY interesting.

Agreed. His is one of my favorites. Bernd Glemser is an unexpected nomination also. I heard a live recording of his and it was quite possibly the best live performance I have heard. Still haven't heard his studio rec. It was crystal clear, completely heartfelt, and it sounded like he studied the hell out of the piece beforehand. It was full of little subtle nuances that many people seem to have missed.

My two by far favorites are Gilels (with Ormandi) and Y. Flier (specifically, 1st and 2nd movements).

Funny, but quite true.  I completely agree.

Volodos. He sounds so relaxed... as if he could easily double the tempo.

That's exactly why I don't like it.

Gavrilov with Philadelphia and Muti (1987) . . . very symphonic approach.

Jean-Philippe Collard with Michel Plasson.

Cliburn and Kondrashin (1958).

Horowitz and NY PHil with Mehta, the DVD.

Me . . . and Berlin (in my dreams).

Normally, I don't either, but this recording is special and different, imo.  It's very grand, very sweeping, lingers where you want it to, takes off like a rocket where it should.  He plays the big cadenza in a very epic, heroic way.  Just a huge conception of the piece all around, I think.

But just wait for my dreams tonight when I play with Vienna!

Yeah, that's last night and tonight.  But tomorrow night, I embark on my dreamy South American tour.  Meet me for drinks in Rio, after my Rach 3, okay?  I'll buy.  Grin

She doesn't quite live up to your username. And her performance is much too fast and reckless.

let me see... i must arrange my flying tickets, book a hotel, buy the ticket... well, that´s easy...count me in!

is that a coincidence your south american tour happening so few days before the carnaval?

 Grin

ps: since there isn´t a good orchestra at rio, i suggest you to bring your own full-wagner-mahlerian-symphonic orchestra.

In my dreams I am touring with the NY Phil throughout South America.  Martha joins me in Argentina for a duo-recital.  (And, yes, I'm doing Carnaval!!)

Bronfman is my favorite, this is the one that Haytto stole.

On Sunday I'm accompanying a fellow master's student on this concerto for a competition, it's a great piece.

So you think she has more of a bronzetone?  Cheesy

Reckless? I don't think I can disagree with you, but as far as raw power and energy she takes the gold.
