What are the best examples you know of unexpected and surprising tempochanges (like accelerando etc) in a recording?
What pianist do you think have the best "feel" when it comes to tempochanges?
-
Rachmaninov's Prelude in c-sharp minor. I will think about any other ones.

Rachmaninov's Prelude in c-sharp minor.
Any specific recording?

The only notable recording I have listened to is Rachmaninov's and the tempo change was quite sudden.

I heard the recording, nice. I think there are many better examples though. I especially love strategic accelerandos and deccelerandos. A good example is the last part of Hilary Hahn´s recording of the Barber concerto. Can´t think of any really good piano examples right now.

The presto in the e minor prelude from WTC1. Richter does an excellent job
-
The presto in the c minor prelude from Bk 1. Richter also did an excellent job.

Tastefull, I am more into gradual accelerandos (or deccelerandos) especially combined with dynamic contrasts. That can make even a mediocre piece sound really good.
