Byron Janis and his Rach 3

[op.110]

For those of you that have heard the way he plays the candenza in the first movement, have you heard any recording of Rach 3 more spectacular? This recording (recorded w/ Boston Symphony Orch and Charles Munch) has made me fall in love with Rach 3 all over again.

I think this cadenza is more spectacular (no prizes for guessing the pianist): http://download.yousendit.com/FD5726E5205E7DED

those octaves are very impressive, who's playing?

Sokolov.

Fiorentino is worth hearing too. I think it's on Youtube.

op. 110, I'd second your choice on this piece. Janis is quite good here.

I also like Riccardo Chailly on these.
