I've been waiting for a live performance of a Rachmaninoff piece on Blu-ray for a long time and it's finally here! This is definitely worth it for Bronfman's powerful performance alone. The end of the third movement will leave you breathless and moved until he hits the very last note and the crowd bursts into applause giving a well-deserved standing ovation. Excellent video and sound quality bring the summer festival experience in your living room. Please bring more classical performances to Blu-ray!!! plleeaaassee

Bronfman's cadenza towards the end of the first movement of the Rachmaninoff concerto is worth it alone!!! so powerful!

This is an excellent recording of the Rachmaninov #3. It was a live outdoor concert. The video was well done (but only 1080i). I bought it solely for the Rachmaninov and haven't listened to the other performances. This video convinced me that classical concert videos were worth buying.

I was excited to have this blu-ray for my audiophile ,however as another review noted this is not a studio recording so dont expect the sound to be anything close to a CD even !! no stage the sound is so empty with kids crying in the bakground (very low and not anyoing to be fair) that is why i gave it two star
