Ok, so I am kind of doing everything on my own this summer and I can't seem to find a good version of the Rach 1 and don't know who to ask...

Until live performance, audio would satisfy the starving ear; video would sweetly haunt the heart.  For those who swoon at Rach.

Krystian Zimerman's recording on Deutsche Grammaphon is one of my favorites. The opening is just spectacular.

Do you want full orchestral or two piano reduction?

Are you doing the original or the 1917 "final" version?

Assuming reduction and 1917, Dover, Kalmus, Schirmer, Boosey & Hawkes and Edition Peters all have editions. Schirmer and Kalmus are on par (at best) with the Dover. Not sure there's any advantage in an "upgrade" to B&H or EP in terms of score integrity, though print quality will be superior.
