Recorded on 29 and 30 December 1930 in London, in the Kingsway Hall, this first version by Vladimir Horowitz of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.3 is a monument in the history of recordings. One must have heard the pianist's electrifying starts, which must have caused panic in the orchestra on more than one occasion. His dazzling octaves and many of Horowitz's other prodigies, which are the result of a true ecstasy of virtuosity, make his playing very spontaneous. This concerto, reputedly unplayable, has never seemed so easy to perform. An absolutely legendary performance! We must also discover the flight of the bumblebee recorded two years later. It is a little gem that also testifies to the prodigious virtuosity of the young Horowitz.

[@saltburner2]

@Luigi Raimondo Pomo Do you mean which concerto is the more beautiful? The third is more virtuosic, but the second (perhaps) has the better tunes. At one time the Americans preferred the third, while the Europeans preferred the second. Now both are widely performed everywhere. The first concerto (in its revised version) is unjustly neglected.

[@beatlessteve1010]

Horowitz just seems to penetrate through my ears deep into my heart.

[@beatlessteve1010]

The tempo is remarkable ..Vladimir Horowitz had the power to convert a narrow minded rock and roller with no interest in classical piano whatsoever, (like me) into a very enthusiastic lover of the classical/romantic genre and inspired a 53 year old into taking up the piano and purchasing a complete library that had formally consisted of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Jimmi Hendrix , and now of Chopin, Schumann, Schubert as well as Beethoven, Bach, and Scarlatti.

It's worth noting that Rachmaninoff himself heard Horowitz perform this around this time, and said he felt horowitz played the piece as he imagine it should be played.

[@fe12rrps]

Thank you thank you thank you !! So much of what folks listen to is Horowitz in his later years. Amazing though these recordings are, it’s Horowitz in his earlier years that leave me speechless.

[@victorgaete5795]

Estoy disfrutando al máximo al escuchar esta versión remasterizada de 1930/33; Vladimir Horowitz con 27 años de vida, al máximo de su capacidad pianística juvenil; lo encuentro fantástico, pero me produce una impresión muy similar, al compararla con su versión de 1978, cuando Vladimir enteró sus 75 años de vida, junto la Orquesta de Filadelfia y Eugenio Ormandy; son como grabaciones claves en la vida de este pianista; como él dijo, yo creo y pienso que Rachmaninov le regaló este tercer concierto; lo he escuchado en otras tres versiones por el mismo, y muchas por otros intérpretes; y creo que fue el pianista del Rach 3.

Truly one of century's greatest performances *and* recordings. Electrifying performance that even Horowitz couldn't match on later recordings (though he made some impressive attempts) and outstanding sound for 1930.

[@MaScalo4508]

Horowitz plays so clean here

[@notaire2]

Brillante und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses spätromantischen und technisch anspruchsvollen Konzerts mit klar artilikuliertem Klang des unvergleichlichen Soloklaviers und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen anderer Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als originale Aufnahmen von etwa neunzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wunderbar!

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

Alles ist wunderbar - bis auf Ihre köstlich verschwurbelte Prosa mit deliziös linkischem Duktus und diätfördernd erlesener Wortwahl in ausgesucht unidiomatischem Satzbau für ein perfekt versauertes Leseerlebnis mit sublim nachhaltigem Brechreiz.

[@pghagen]

Amazing rendition and registration with better sound quality. Horowitz always preferred to play the short cadenza in the first mouvement which I like more than the bombastic long one. I am goiing to compare this recording with the recording of 1951, which is the only one I have.

[@enthusedtosing9655]

[@himitsunosallychan]

I've heard it said that Horowitz himself later disowned this recording. It sounds to me his finest though.

[@user-nu1nt6cc4z]

Playing like this in 1930...People must have literally hallucinated to the point of delirium

[@Antonio84able]

They were friends with Rachmaninov and I think mostly because Horowitz really loved his music and was the best pianist for Rachmaninov to play his concertos.

[@player1giogamer93]

Rachmaninoff himself said that horowitz was performing his pieces better than him... they were very likely to very best friends

[@binglebinglebingle]

At 24:27 it is different from what I’ve heard from other recordings. Perhaps because this is an earlier version?

[@mtolympus-worstplayerever7924]

My guess is this was likely a (Rachmaninov approved) cut for recording purposes.

[@ulfwernernielsen6708]

MtOlympus - Worst Player Ever You are right. In the Rachmaninov/Ormandy recording we have the same cut . We also have it in both Malcuzynski recordings and in the Watts/Ozawa . In all the mentioned recordings there are a lot of other cuts also.

THE MODERN RECORDINGS MADE TODAY ON THE MOST RECENT DEVICES ACTUALLY SOUND BETTER THAN BEING PRESENT AT A LIVE PERFORMANCE. RACHMANINOFF AND THE OTHER RUSSIANS OF THE 19TH CENTURY ARE THE GENIUSES OF OUR TIME. HOW THEY LAUNCHED THEMSELVES SO FAR FORWRD IN SUCH SHORT TIME IS AMAZING.

[@militaryandemergencyservic3286]

My grand dad knew Rachmaninoff well when he lived next door in Beverly Hills and used to bring him his cigarettes at the end of the month. He once took my granddad on his knee and played the famous c sharp minor prelude with just one hand. My granddad said it was the most thrilling thing he had ever heard. But once Horowitz came to ask Rachmaninov a question about how best to interpret the 3rd concerto last movement. Rachmaninov apparently didn't like the tone of Horowitz's question and promptly slammed the piano shut and said, with a heavy Russian accent 'Get out, you jelly-fingered mutt'. Strange story but my granddad always used to tell us all it at dinner time. Of course, it's not true, I just wanted to write a story that would keep Rachmaninov fans glued to my text.

Even with the comparatively primitive recording techniques of 1930, you can still enjoy this and understand how well Horowitz played it. Same goes for the Rachmaninoff recordings. The Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini is the best quality of the SVR recordings. Two microphones were used and it made quite a difference. I've been listening to these old recordings for some 50 years and never tire of them.
