DEAR GOD.

I'm pretty sure that this is the presto/maestoso from the end of Op.18. (Rach 2)

that's not him - does he look like a 6 1/2 foot scowl! He was taller and had a crue cut!
the pianist is Benno Moiseiwitsch who is great non-the-less.

Don't you know Benno Moiseiwitsch when you see him??  (He's one of my favorite pianists, btw)

Take this as a lesson that you cannot believe everything you read on the internet.
