Paul, did you ever heard the Barbarolli and Gieseking? Gieseking painlessly slow opens the first movement but he does it so smart, so tactful, so sensitive and so ingenusly that it opens a totally new meaning how it might be done. The play has a lot of mistakes (it is live) and a lot of very unusual turns and twists but they all works absolutely wonderfully. BTW, it was played with Rachmaninoff himself among the audiences.
