 Memorable performanceJan 04, 2010
By Grranimal
"Feurkraft"
I'm giving this 5 stars, not 4 because Richter is simply virtuoso here, and even tho the final Allegro Scherzando seems to me a bit frenetic. Still they pull it off and the orchestra is superb as well. According to the DGG site the recording is stereo AAA analog from 1959 which probably dates the technique as others have mentioned; and they sell the tracks for $2.69 each which would be over $8 for this album. A bargain here, I think.

 Terrible Sound QualityNov 24, 2010
By Mark Reed
I couldn't even listen to the whole concerto, the sound quality was so crackly and poor. I jumped at this download because of the low price and because I love Rachmaninoff, but my mistake was just reading the reviews and not listening to the samples myself. I won't make that mistake again. This recording was so poor that I deleted it from my iTunes library and wrote off the $3 as a loss. Very disappointed.

Probably the best recording of this piece I've ever heard - what a pianist! Outstanding composition, Rachmaninoff was a genius. Love it, love it, love it.
Problem with defvective CDNov 15, 2010
By time2enjoy
I put this into my Bose CD slot after it arrived and immediately got "error" message and grinding sound in the CD player. Unable to eject it. It does play, and I love it.However, will have to listen to it repeatedly as I can't eject it... after the other 3 slot play.
Any way to get help???
Makes me way of purchasing other CD's from Amazon

 Not a 2003 recordingFeb 25, 2008
By Don J. Norwood
While the performance of these two works is excellent, I was very disappointed that it was apparently a recording from 1972, not 2003 as noted in the disc information. The sound is definately not up to today's standards.
