Leif Ove Andsnes' recording of the third Rachmaninov concerto, made with Paavo Berglund's Oslo Philharmonic when he was only 24, was considered good enough for the 'Great Artists of the Century' series, and rightfully.
Andsnes' view of Rachmaninov's 3rd concerto can be described as 'Nordic': he remains cool and in control at all moments and is temperate rather than romantic.
Andsnes does exactly that: he has an overwhelming naturalness and command that puts every note exactly in place.

Andsnes says that his musical "horizon," at first limited to "big, important" music, opened to the appreciation of the short "salon" pieces and arrangements assembled on this record only as he got older, though they had accompanied him since childhood.
Andsnes' virtuosity is breath-taking, his tone is beautiful, and his legato sings regardless of the accompanying texture.
Andsnes' phrasing, dynamics, and liberties are balanced and poised, and his love for the music speaks through every note.
