SERGEJ RACHMANINOFF (1873-1943) - PIANO CONCERTS No. 2
This still has one of the richest string sounds ever heard, full and lush. The soundstage is massive, deep and wide. Just listen to the piano! It's rich yet powerful as Earl Wild cuts across the orchestra. This recording still sounds a lot better than most modern recordings. It is simply a classic, recorded by some of the most talented people who ever put up a microphone. As someone who strives to produce the best-sounding recordings today, I am humbled by the talents of these two gentlemen, Ken Wilkinson and Charles Gerhardt, our two teachers who laid the groundwork for all audiophile recordings to follow
