I have studied & loved several performances of the 2nd (Rachmaninov) but never have I heard such voicing. Your tempi were broad and measured yet never impeded the drive and swell of the music. Really a revelation - thank you so much.

What a wonderful performance by Zhang. He is an amazing pianist, we should hear more from this gifted musician. He produced wonderful and colorful tone, and his playing was very thoughtful and reflective.
