What's your favorite performance of the Rach 3 Ossia Cadenza?

on: April 18, 2017, 08:30:23 PM

I don't think I've found a favorite ossia cadenza, every performance has some elements I like and others I would change. Here are a few from you tube to start but hopefully you have some better videos to share.

Volodos plays the chords very well:

I grew up with a strong diet of Cliburn and Rubinstein and the Cliburn Moscow performance is burned into my brain as the best - when I play it back in my mind, it's his notes...

Here is another video of him playing it with some good shots of his hands - too bad not when the most difficult parts. I love to see his use of arm weight - I am uber fan of Rubinstein class arm weight.

As far as LL and Trif, too exaggerated - garish maybe? In fact, I don't like this cadenza - I like the other one Rach and Horowitz played. It is possible to make a cake that has too much chocolate in it.

I like kissins a lot but I don't like the way it's recorded.

Lazar is pretty fire too

I've recently become a fan of Lugansky based on this Rach 3 w/o orchestra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPQzctf_wIk @ 8:40 but it's the other one which I prefer anyway. The big one is simply too chocolaty and I love chocolate.

Frankly, I don't need the orchestra since I heard it in my head along with all the emotion. So it's a double win for me to hear just the piano. And frankly, you simply can't hear all the notes of the piano when performed with orchestra.
