Title: The Best Rach 3
Review: Feltsman's performance of both the "Rach 3" as well as Rachmaninoff's concerto-esque Rhapsody are not only impressively virtuosic, but deeply emotional and musical. Feltsman makes a few cuts in both pieces and plays the written cadenza in the first movement of the concerto, but these cuts make perfect sense and do not disrupt (but rather enhance) the flow of the works.Mehta leads the Israel Philharmonic in a splendidly balanced and performed accompaniment. The orchestra especially shines in the exposed sections in the second movement of the concerto and the quiet portions of the Rhapsody. An excellent performance.
