just heard a glorius performance of the 3rd by M. Jansons and the St. Petersbyrg Phil. on EMI classics #62810. I was able to get it today at borders for 10.00. Recorded in 1992 and the sound as good as it gets. This is the best of the crop. Also includes sym. dances.

Yes that is one of the best if not the best Rach 3rd's currently available, the ART remaster makes it even better.

EMI has released a ton of previous Jansons work recently on thier budget CD lines that is well worth picking up.

How does it compare to the Previn and the Ashkenazy versions?

The ask. version was my favorite until the Janson. The 2nd with Previn. was ok on Telarc but the sound was very thin no bass.Havnt heard the Previn 3rd.
The janson 3rd is marvelous in bringing out almost every detail in the scoring withouy interupting the flow.

It's tough to beat the Jansons' pereformance. The recording is spectacular too.
