Which reminds me of a friend of mine who has tried to collect every
recording of that work.  I managed to find a Stokowski broadcast and a
friend of mine turned up a copy of what might be the oldest surviving
broadcast of the piece, Rodzinsky with Cleveland.

Besides be addicted to Rachmanioff's music, I have been curious about
the differing versions of the work, as it seems some performances have
somewhat different endings...not just the use of the lingering tam tam...
