 | | If you compare his recordings with his contemporaries', such as Ignacy Paderewski, Vladimir de Pachmann, Arthur de Greef, Ignaz Friedman, Josef Hofmann, etc., you will realize that his style is surprisingly modern. |
 | | The most important recordings he made are those of his own works, including the 4 concertos, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, 3 Etudes-tableaux, 8 Preludes, and numerous miniature pieces for the solo piano. |
 | | Arthur Schnabel, the Beethoven specialist, once heard Rachmaninov play a Beethoven sonata and exclaimed that it was the best Beethoven performance he had ever heard. |
