Kapell's performance of the Rach PC 2 is accompanied by William Steinberg and a pickup orchestra.RCA's Vol 3 "Kapell Edition" CD featuring this Second concerto includes a Rach Paganini Rhapsody conducted by Reiner with the Philadelphia (credited there as the Robin Hood Dell Orchestra).
The death of 31 year old William Kapell ranks as perhaps the greatest tragedy in American music. His small discography is almost entirely treasurable and worth seeking out.
The other great Rach PC 2 I know is Richter/Sanderling (1955), now hard to find. I don't care for the stereo version under Rowicki.
