I love pretty much everything Rachmaninoff composed (songs, sonatas, concertos, symphonies, etc.), and for me, the Third Piano Concerto is the greatest piano concerto ever written. I love its epic sweep and expansive dimensions, even though I feel that those qualities shouldn't necessarily be emphasized in performance. Sure, I like the Second Piano Concerto too - I remember accompanying a high-school kid some years ago, and, during our performance of the second movement, tears just started welling up and flowing down my cheeks - totally unexpectedly, I might add! Very weird - but it does show the power of Rachmaninoff's music over someone who is susceptible to it (like me!).
Regarding, Volodos, I generally love his playing, but I feel that his recording of the Third Concerto is a bit undermined by the multi-microphoned engineering, where the art fails to conceal the art! ;-) I have his Schubert SACD too and I like it a lot. Haven't heard his Mompou album.
