Ortiz made my favorite recording of the Shostakovich concerto number 2, with a quite haunting 2nd movement. Chuprik has a Rachmaninoff CD on Amadis(?) that I like. It has the variations on the Chopin C-minor prelude, and some shorter works like the B-minor prelude and the Moment Musical in B-minor. In my opinion she does the prelude exceptionally well. I also have a Beethoven CD of Chuprik's on Naxos(?), with the Pastorale, and (I think) the Waldstein, which is decent but not at the level of her Rachmaninoff in my opinion.
