I can't see whats so great about Cliburn's Rach 3 ...its the most sleepy interpretation I've ever heard.
P.S. His Rach 2 is good, though.
My favourite recordings:
1: Haven't heard many , Rach himself probably.
2: Kissin, Cliburn.
3: Argerich owns it , Horowitz second, n the rest: Gilels(w Ormandy), Hough, Berman.
4: Ashkenazy perhaps.
Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini: Pletnev (the one on DVD) ..scintillating performance !!


Van Cliburn, sleepy?  Just because of his tempos?  He plays it beautifully.  To me, it is the most heartfelt... not to mention a live recording = incredible....... sleepy is what I consider Argerich's interpretation to be

Horowitz on the Rach 3. However, I also love Ashkenazy on the 1st and Gibbons on the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

Best recording...

Rachmaninoff 2nd Piano Concerto: Richter
Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto: Olga Kern... THE NUMBER 1 performer of that concerto.

Worst recording???

Rachmaninoff 3rd Piano Concerto: Solokov... bloody murdered it.

They are all wonderful, the first is very underrated. it is underplayed because it is proceeded by to unbelievable pieces.
