This version (although not complete) is right up there in perfection with the version I have by the Borodin Trio. However, I am mightily distracted by the facial contortions of the violinist. The emotion is understandable but he is positively orgasmic. Nonetheless, the driving, agonized voices of the three instruments perfectly capture Rachmaninoff's despairing soul. What a masterpiece.

Tchaikovsky IS in Heaven (apparently God turned a blind eye to the gay thing because he just adores Swan Lake). It's the Russian part of Heaven - very typical Greek Orthodox style, lots of icons and gold leaf. Shostakovitch hates it but he's lucky to have been allowed in - appears he was a closet believer. Apparently Bach and his buddies like their neighbourhood a little more dour. Rameau and Lully persuaded Le Brun to really glitz the Catholic quarter. It's a fun place is Heaven.

Does anybody know where I can find a commercial dvd of this performance? Amazon.com, maybe? This is by far my favorite recording in my opinion.

Who says Tchaikovsky is in heaven?

Breathtaking. I was introduced to this piece of music because of Liam Scarlett's choreography Sweet Violets which is set to this music. The choreography and the music simply captivated from the moment that I have came across with it. What a phenomenal trio though and emotionally powerful. Tchaikovsky would absolutely appreciate Rachmaninov's gestures in heaven.
