Sergei Rachmaninov:
Piano Concerto No. 3

William Kapell, piano
Sir Bernard Heinze /
Victorian Symphony Orchestra
1953, live, restored

This impressive Rachmaninov from Kapell, on his last months of his earthly life before his DC-6 crashed, was a Real SOB to fix due to the high noise, and the extreme distortion in places, but here you have it set up for you, not like new, but improved! It was originally privately recorded off-air, through an FM station which Australia had established relatively early.
