...or Ashkenazy/Previn or Ashkenazy/Kondrashin?
Hough/Litton
and of course Rachmaninoff/Ormandy

I'm aware that Martha's is a sensational performance. I'm getting it. The only Ashkenazy I've got it the one with Fistolari; not that impressed.
I'm curious about the ones you've listed. From what I've gathered, the Argerich might be a polar opposite to Ashkenazy, no?
I'll have some interesting thoughts about Rach's own recording, when I finish the course of listening and post. Thanks.
I hope you enjoy Martha's performance. It is really over the top, IMHO best heard at a live performance. I seldom go back to it. The Askenazy/Previn performances are polar opposites of Marcha's but then so is everyone else the polar opposite of Martha! My go to PC's are Wild and Horenstein reissued by Chandos. Chesky did these also, but I thought the CD's were a bit on the sterile side of neutral.
FWIW.
You can see their performance on youtube--then buy the CD of the same performance (with better sound) if you like it:
