5.0 out of 5 stars Memorable performance, January 3, 2010
I'm giving this 5 stars, not 4 because Richter is simply virtuoso here, and even tho the final Allegro Scherzando seems to me a bit frenetic. Still they pull it off and the orchestra is superb as well. According to the DGG site the recording is stereo AAA analog from 1959 which probably dates the technique as others have mentioned; and they sell the tracks for $2.69 each which would be over $8 for this album. A bargain here, I think.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Sound Quality, November 23, 2010
By 
Mark Reed (Hazleton, PA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I couldn't even listen to the whole concerto, the sound quality was so crackly and poor. I jumped at this download because of the low price and because I love Rachmaninoff, but my mistake was just reading the reviews and not listening to the samples myself. I won't make that mistake again. This recording was so poor that I deleted it from my iTunes library and wrote off the $3 as a loss. Very disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, July 11, 2009
This review is from: Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor / Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (Audio CD)
Probably the best recording of this piece I've ever heard - what a pianist! Outstanding composition, Rachmaninoff was a genius. Love it, love it, love it.
