One of my favourite "performances" (and stories I keep cranking out on here) is Rachmaninov playing his own Piano Concertos; I come back to this performance of No.2 time and time again despite it being a severely limited recording. There is so much more to a performance than the quality/timbre of the audio. R. -- "Feed that ego and you starve the soul" - Colonel J.D.
