Busoni and Rachmaninoff play Chopin's Nocturne Op. 15 No. 2 in F-Sharp

When Busoni and Rachmaninoff met in Copenhagen (Denmark) in 1918, they greeted each other coldly and politely as the two men had so different aesthetics. Reportedly, Busoni said to him:
"Mr. Rachmaninoff, quite frankly, I think you are a rather poor composer."
Rachmaninoff's reply:
"Well, wait until I arrive in America later this year, Mr. Busoni, and you'll see I'll make more money than you ever did in your miserable life."
Busoni recorded the Nocturne in 1922, Rachmaninoff in 1923.
