Prokofiev's Third was one of the concertos that appeared in the Richard Dreyfuss movie "The Competition," and Byron Janis's performance is generally considered to be more than competition-worthy. In fact, many consider it the best ever, also a function of Kirill Kondrashin's inspired accompaniments. Janis's performance is a bit slower than usual, not because he lacks energy or technique, but rather because he actually takes the time to play all of those notes and make something musically satisfying out of them. It's a very personal interpretation, carried through with blazing conviction; and the coupling, Rachmaninoff's early First Concerto, is equally stunning. --David Hurwitz

SIMPLY THE BEST! November 14, 2005

This is simply the best perfomance of this concerto and the ONLY one in which the pianist plays ALL the notes! Also, the only performance which reveals the inner colors of the piece. A marvel!

The best attribute of this recording must be the rhythmic drive of both the pianist and the orchestra. I find Janis and Horowitz both to possess this "living rhythm", probably as a result of their work together. The first movement is fresh and alive for me again. You might notice that the editorial suggests that many believe this to be the best recording of this work. Count me among those.
