Yes, pls go and report to us how he did. Will it be broadcast? A rec would be interesting to listen to.
i saw him play this once. he plays the ossia cadenza if you’re interested… I’m seeing him play Schubert 960, Gaspard and Dante Sonata in a month… should be good.
how was the performance?
Randomly I probably wouldn’t go to that. I’ve heard probably 3 Douglas bootlegs of the Rachmaninoff Third and they’ve all been pretty ordinary. He brings a lot of power in some of the climaxes etc, but the interp falls a bit flat.
It was a while ago but i seem to remember him playing extremely quietly in the first movement, and didn’t make a lot out of it overall. The accuracy was fantastic, and I can’t really comment on the final movement as the adrenalin kind of took over me for the last few minutes (it was when the piece was new to me, now only hough’s is the only recording of the last movt. i know of that has that effect on me!).
I seem to remember the second movement stuck out as very good - not too much sentimentality and clear playing - i think that too often this movement is pedaled into a mushy mess…
It made my mother cry anyway…
although there are plenty of better other performances of this, I’d go if it was close enough and cheap enough.
