Rach 3; ...I finally found it.

Well I just wrote this long post, and then it was deleted somehow. I hate it when that happens.

Ok what I was saying, was that I've had this one version of Rach3 that was an mp3 file...and it doesn't have a name on it.

It was the first version of Rach3 that I ever heard, and it's by FAR my favorite. I listen to it at least 5 times a week (in my car) and it never gets old.

But I've been searching for it for a LONG time, trying to figure out who played it, when, etc... and I finally bought a CD off of amazon that had near-identical track lengths, and it came today...BAM, it's it! :D

I know this isn't something to be too excited about, but I've been searching/wonder for a LONG time....

Anyway:

1996 or 1997
Tbilisi Symphony Orchestra
conductor: Jansug Kakhidze
[size=7]Nato Ts'vereli[/size], piano


...anyone have/heard this performance? Opinions?

As long as David Helfgott's hacking of it isn't your favorite, you're OK.

Nikolai Dimidenko also has a wonderful recording of it, as does Voldos (my personal favorite).

You'd do well to ask "iamcanadian" from Pianoworld. He's heard just about every recording in history.

KB,

If ever you get the chance to see Demidenko in recital, grab it. He is a brilliant interpreter of virtually everything I've heard from him, but particularly Schubert, Beethoven and Bach. He sometimes performs in a duo with the cellist Leonid Gorokhov; it's amazing to see them play together - truly synergetic music-making.
