2:08 - 2:25 seems to have more clipping than the original, an artifact of restoration? In that area, I actually prefer the original recording. Also, is there a reason the original is 194kbps but the restoration is 66kbps? The timing of the chords at the beginning sounds fine to me.
219:: I agree that this is a valuable recording, and very much worthy of featured status on that basis. I was picking up some distortion myself a bit. I'll let better ears weigh in on that, but I'm inclined to support otherwise should the others come to a consensus on that point. 49: 37: 314:
Not the best transfer (probably a dirty disc?) requires too much distortion to bring to a listenable state. I wouldn't be opposed to a clean transfer of this recording. I actually have a clean copy of this disc, but no machine to play it on. :\

Sadly, perhaps, the mountain this file has to climb to reach a super-majority is too great at this time. Participation at F.S. being what it is, I doubt this will see another three supports in any reasonable amount of time.

per Jujutacular. I noticed the clipping and then listened to the original and did not hear it. It could be a compression artifact as 66 kbps is small for so many notes are being played simultaneously in that stretch.

Distorted in comparison to the original recording. Why 66k? Sounds like listening over a telephone circuit. Such a valuable recording deserves a better transfer.

I fixed successfully. If there's problems, I want to know and fix them, not coast by, so please, double-check my work and don't let me get away with anything.

1919, but, of course, later recordings wouldn't be public domain recordings of him playing his own work. Added year of performance to the description.

is the original. Can you be hard on the restoration, particularly the timing of the first three chords, which had some extra damage, and which I

Excellent for a 1919 acoustic recording. The fact that it is an interpretation by the composer, in his prime, is especially compelling.
327: 281: 70: 232: 59:(Op. 3, No. 2), which he composed when he was 19, established his fame in America. It is here performed by himself in 1919. 185: 370: 302: 287: 47: 189: 124: 88: 361: 322: 276: 227: 198:
Is there much difference in the "clipping"? I find it hard to detect. This is a valuable recording.
347: 317: 271: 110: 182: 298: 259: 162: 142: 66:
One of Rachmaninoff's most popular works, performed by a notable interpreter of his works.
222: 206: 378: 103: 179: 294: 255: 158: 199: 101:
Lots of background white noise in there. Is this an old recording?
