Outtakes from a 1963 television appearance in which the American pianist Ruth Slenczynska (born January 15, 1925) recalls her meetings with Sergei Rachmaninoff and plays two of his Preludes (Opus 23/9 in E flat minor and Opus 23/2 in B flat major). The complete recital plus the lengthy interview “Remembering Josef Hofmann“ is available on a DVD with the title “Tribute to Rachmaninoff“, produced by VAI Music, and can be purchased here:
