And then there is Scott Colebank who has, as I recall, about 120
recordings of the Rachmaninoff Third.

However, I do wonder what justification there is for so many recordings of
the standards, especially when musicians these days don't provide much of
their personality in a performance...and especially when there is so much
unrecorded repertoire that needs attention.
