There's no disputing the high standard of Leif Ove Andsnes's pianism in both these concertos, among the most technically demanding in the repertoire – nor the equal brilliance with which Antonio Pappano and the London Symphony Orchestra partner his performances. But Andsnes's playing is so secure, so sure of itself, and the orchestral sound so assertive, that the performances become rather intimidating, keeping the listener at arm's length. There's tremendous excitement but little warmth or flexibility in his playing; the tone full but retaining an aggressive edge. The slightly astringent sound is well suited to the Fourth Concerto, in which Rachmaninov certainly shows an awareness of the neoclassicism that was so fashionable in the 1920s when he composed the piece, but it seems less appropriate for the Third, which, for all its ambiguities and enigmas, is a work fixed within the grand romantic tradition. Among recent recordings of the Third, Stephen Hough's has more wit and finesse, while among classic accounts, Horowitz in the Third Concerto and Michelangeli in the Fourth remain a class apart. guardian.co.uk

Thanks for pointing that out, tonyangelo, but I'm talking about his previous recording of the 3rd concerto, the one with Paavo Berglund conducting Oslo Phil., not the first two ones.
