Rachmaninov was a diffident performer at the piano in many works, particularly his own. We do have his great Chopin sonata and Carnaval, and he had technique like few others. So did Hoffman, but most now find his playing too glossy and superficial inspite of the matchless fingerwork.

I haven't heard the Waltzes by Lipatti in many years, I'll have to revisit. Perhaps too much praise has been heaped on this artist, very young when he died with very few recordings to his credit. Modern medicine could have saved him, or at least given him many more years to mature.
