Rachmaninoff plays 4 Concertos

Who knows this set with Rachmaninoff playing all of his piano concertos?

I don't know any recording of these pieces where piano playing comes close to this recording.

Generally, I'm not a big Rach piano concerto fan, but to my ears, Rachmaninov playing his own works sets the standard. (I have the Naxos transfers.) Of the alternatives I've heard, only Byron Janis (in the first two) comes close. Of course, die-hard Rach fans may have a different outlook.
