I never thought I would ever say too fast when it came to Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos but this really just goes by so fast your mind cant keep up. Impressive beyond words that he can play like that but for petes sakes stop and smell the Flowers Stephen, :)

"allegro ma non tanto" is written in the score and thats the way Hough plays it. Only 26 likes when this is exactly what the composer had in mind, means most people prefer it played incorrectly.

What are the limits of human abilities?
Who said that geniuses don't even practice?
At the age of 28, from which star country did this man come from unimaginable great works? "
What a pain and patience it took!
"AMAZING"

Very fast tempi towards the but probably as Rachmaninov indicated in the score.

It's better than Horiwitz and Rakhmaninov himself
