I never was a big fun of Cliburn, if you like him then try to found Josef Lhevinne… much more interning. I do remember however that Cliburn’s Rach3 was OK. If I am not mistaken Cliburn played alternative slow cadenza in fist moment – a rarity at that time – and he did a very nice job, though I think in the way how it become fashionable to play nowadays- with very slow exit from the cadenza – I like it better.

Generally it is interesting to see how tasted to Rach3 are changing with time. The more I listen the Third the more I am in bad with Gieseking with Barbirolli…
