Abbey Simon plays Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto No.3 (1966 concert performance) 

RIP Abbey Simon
American pianist Abbey Simon in a 1966 Tokyo concert performance of Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto No.3 with the Japan Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Akeo Watanabe.
Simon was a pupil of David Saperton and Josef Hofmann, additionally having lessons with Leopold Godowsky and Harold Bauer, and would go on to win the Naumburg International Piano Competition in 1940. While having an international performing career, he was also very active as a teacher.
This performance finds Simon playing one of his signature works with great gusto, with a full-bodied sonority, forged phrasing, and wonderful timing.
