Recordings
Portions of the concerto were first recorded on 31 December 1923 and 3 January 1924, where Rachmaninoff soloed under Leopold Stokowski with the Philadelphia Orchestra.[1] The technological recording limitations of his day meant that the orchestra had to be reduced, and the recordings had to be cut into four minute sections.[1] Nonetheless, they produced an acoustic recording of the second movement and parts of the third on December.[1][2] It dissatisfied the composer, which prompted a successful rerecording of the two movements on January, this time encompassing the whole third movement.[1] It was not until December 1924 when Rachmaninoff decided to record the first movement, although after three attempts he dismissed its ending.[3]
With newer recording technology, Rachmaninoff reunited with Stokowski in April 1929 to rectify the situation, now with a full orchestra.
