In Reply to: Rach. Piano 3 comparison. posted by Sigmund on May 10, 2017 at 19:43:22:
Those chord modulations under the singing Cello line (23:30) are pure Rachmaninoff; pure ecstasy.Some performers rush, some clank and clunk, some drag, some are out of sync, some aren't properly balanced. I haven't heard all Rach 3rds, but I've never heard the passage handled as sensitively (yet paradoxically with such abandon) as Horowitz and Ormandy. I NEVER tire of it.
(The vid is set to start at the point I'm referencing.)
