Concerto No 3, Horowitz:Rodzinski NYPO, live, restored

This is one of the rarest treasures in recorded history! It’s Vladimir Horowitz playing Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto #3 with Rodzinski in 1943. This recording shows Horowitz at the peak of his capabilities (listen to the cadenza!) and captures one of the best performances of this concerto of all time! Unlike his 1930 performance, Horowitz performs it without the cuts in the historic 1930 Coates recording, yet it still has all the fire of the earlier one because he was still in the prime of his technique.
