This is one of the rarest treasures in recorded history! It's Vladimir Horowitz playing Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto #3 with Rodzinski in 1943.
This recording shows Horowitz at the peak of his capabilities (listen to the cadenza!) and captures one of the best performances of this concerto of all time!
Unlike his 1930 performance, Horowitz performs it without the cuts in the historic 1930 Coates recording, yet it still has all the fire of the earlier one because he was still in the prime of his technique.
What is amazing is that despite the super high speed, there are few wrong notes, and his execution sounds incredibly easy.
Technically, Horowitz owned this piece, and no one else even comes close (well, maybe Rachmanioff himself - • Video ). This link is of a newly restored version of Rachmanioff playing Rachmanioff - most recommended.
