Yes, I decided to return to it today so I listened to it a couple of times this evening and I love it. I will have to get the Ashkenazy/Previn/LSO recordings too......oh dear, so much music, so little time and money!fergus wrote:No. 2 would be my favourite Seán.Seán wrote: Rachmaninov

If you like that then Argerich recorded Prok 3 again with her then husband Charles DutoitSeán wrote:
Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3
Ravel: Piano Concerto in G
Martha Argerich - Piano
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
Claudio Abbado conducting
along with Prok 1 and Bartók 3. Perhaps not quite as good as the Abbado Prok 3 (and don't she and Abbado look cute together and them so young?), but different and well worth hearing!

Lava Lava Lava! More powerful than Eyjafjallajökull: if she were emitting ash instead of vocal fireworks the planes would have no hope!
Re: What are you listening to?
More of Abbado's Pergolesi
The combination of Sara Mingardo, Orchestra Mozart (Abbado's period orchestra) and Abbado himself is voluptuous ecstacy.

Re: What are you listening to?
Rozhdestvensky's 1959 mono recording of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. Absolutely magnetic, compelling like no other R & J I've heard.
