"Impossible. There aren't even that many. Are they private ones? Regardless, the mind boggles. You almost defy belief. "Amphissa", eh? I'm going to remember you."Well, no, not impossible. There are actually 200 or more commercial recordings. But Rach3 gets played every year by many dozens of orchestras around the world. Radio broadcasts are plentiful, especially by European and Asian orchestras, since classical music is broadcast/streamed constantly in Europe and Asia, but also U.S. orchestras. Plus there are many historical broadcast recordings. I've been collecting those broadcast recordings for decades.
As for never composing that way again and the unsuccess of the first performance, are you referring to the 3rd piano concerto or the 1st symphony? The premier of the Rach3 piano concerto was successful and has been a part of the core repertoire since it was first oerformed. It was the 1st Symphony many years earlier that got panned. Sorry if my comments about the 1st symphony performance confused the discussion.
And his later works pushed past all his previous works, to wit the Dances 3rd movement and the 3rd symphony. He said that he had difficulty with the newer directions in music, because his brain always resolved into melodies. But the 3rd symphony and the last movement of the Symphonic Dances did move into new territory for him.
