Hint: it's with the Czech Philharmonic. ;-)
As for de Waart, I think he was undone by his Philips engineers. I saw him live plenty of times, and he certainly had his moments. I remember an in-concert Bruckner 6th and an in-concert Mahler 9th that were excellent. I also heard (and still have) symphonies 3, 5, and 7 in his Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Mahler series, and I found all these performances to be amazingly good. I don't remember having heard any of his Rachmaninoff recordings, aside from the concertos with Kocsis.
BTW, I don't necessarily dislike the Cliburn recording - it's just been so long since I heard it that I don't have a fix on it anymore. I do kind of like the Volodos/Levine recording, but I feel that the recording quality sounded slightly artificial and synthesized - I should give it another listen though.
Finally, I don't know anyone who says that hi-rez is the arbiter of recordings.
