Kissin - Rachmaninov concerto #2. I. Moderato (part 2)

[roosterflu77]

Gets me every time <3

[1Thompsonmusic]

@roosterflu77

Do you have to put that <3 thing after your sentence?

[Wazztheweasel]

nobody i know listens to this...

[monktrane325]

Insane

[kybo61]

I missed who the conductor was... at this point I am not impressed terribly but it is live so I will reserve judgment as live venues can be challenging for the best. Even with lots of rehearsals -- and you never know how the sound crew is going to perform! I'm a musician and I've been on all sides of this except conducting (singing, playing an instrument, setting up mic's, running sound board) so.... Once you get 1,000 bodies in the room the acoustics change and it's hard to adjust.

[xBellatrixLestrangex]

Heart stops each time

[basumi]

a true gift for all humanity to share

[energetico86]

LIfe is beautiful, in spite of all...

[bk3k]

I would highly suggest using annotations at the end of the video to link one part to the next.

Thanks for the upload all the same. This piece really stands out as one of my all time favorites.

[ememam]

역시 대단하다

[mhae0309]

i always get goosebumps at 1:31, so beautiful.

[qjawls2003]

best and the youngest pianist

truely amazing

[lovellespice]

this made me weep. from sheer beauty. i am not ashamed.

[horowitzkissin]

People like that (Rachmaninof, Kissin, Horowitz, Richter, Gileles and so on) make me believe in the nobility of human nature!

[Hypebusta]

@horowitzkissin On the contrary, it is a higher power at work. Human nature is anything but noble. And also, perhaps Jesus Christ died for our sins.

[PrPirtply]

@Hypebusta imbecile.

[MsVerlinden]

et.....! Abbado avec Grimaud faut pas exagerer ils sont bons aussi

[SoMaRiOn7]

1:31, emotional explosion

[Kulverint]

@SoMaRiOn7 My favourite bit.

[moscowguitarman]

This is great, but I like Richter's performance more. When was this filmed?

[mauri941]

Kissin is my idol :') I love the way he plays the piano!

[GrotrianSeiler]

14 people dislike this? What is wrong with them??

[461300855]

великолепно

[dommboi69]

i love the bit at 0:25

[17FEL]

Surely the most beautiful piece of music ever made

there are no words.

Absolutely excruciatingly, heartbreakingly wonderful.

[steadric]

I wish the quality was better:(:( But it's better than nothing I suppose.

[xXxviciusxXx2]

omfg @ 1:29....

[inmanln01]

wow. this is just, amazing. :)

[PiquesDames]

Great!!!! Sir Davis and Kissin! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!

[zbluedreamz]

nice song!!!!

[prahavltava]

Very impressed..

THANKS.

[amrosik]

@yerkoescalona thank you very much for this page, i have not known yet.

[amrosik]

are there shets available anywhere? i would love to practice this, even if I partially fail.

[Hypebusta]

@amrosik you can certainly buy the full sheet music.

[Hypebusta]

@amrosik my copy is for two pianos, four hands, published by Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics

[sexypianist1]

no wonder

His name is Kissin.

[cmonclair27]

Of course he could. His rach 3 in particular. At the level of great pianists it's a matter of personal taste and trying to appreciate each for their individual style: For example: I I got drawn to Uchida through her Debussy, Lupu through Brahms and Richter through Rachmaninoff. Now I pretty much understand whatever they play or played R.I.P. Svialoslav.

[ChorAkademiiMorskiej]

in 1:30 I'm thinking about Richter...I don't know why...

[nahedh]

Just how powerful is this concerto?

1:02 - 1:59 is my answer to that.

[WannabeHyosin]

I just lost my word what to say ...

[markov2b1]

it would be nice if this was one youtube for the moderato, part 1 and 2 . thats annoying to split it up. why is that?

[jojobanjo]

@markov2b1 10 minute limit.

[Rungsimunt]

@markov2b1 I totally do agree with you!

[Anyelalloret]

I love this concert!..One of my favourite concerts by Rachmaninov...i ´m never tired listening to it... Kissin´ s performance is magnificient....

[jrdennis95]

Shush about the Lady Gaga comments, the Justin Bieber comments, the Ray William Johnson comments, everything. This piece deserves more than that. You trolls.

[zetangie]

Yo amoo este video!!! Es increible como pasa el tiempo y no dejo de escucharlo nunca!!!! Kissin es Kissin.

[CherryTomatoCruncher]

@pamelitaromeroful You can stop being such an american idol judge wannabie and assuming such narrow judgements and accept the fact that I defined good as absolute respect. Cheers.

[markov2b1]

there are too many notes to keep track of

[Therachh3]

Thumbs up if RWJ sent you here! 

[brrrrrian]

@Therachh3 are u retarted? dont bring rwj into this genius

[Memale2009]

J'admire le compositeur et l'interprète, mais je regrette ce bric- à- brac des mouvements coupés en morceaux comme une saucisse. C'est pourquoi je ne les ai pas admis permis dans la liste de mes favoris - ce que je regrette infiniment!

[jiflol1420]

mind=blown

[AreaQNH870]

Conductors need long "metal" hair.  Much more effective than a stick.

[prahavltava]

BRAVO !!!

Very impressed, THANKS.....

[Xemnas223]

quite possibily the greatest recording of this concerto i have ever heard. i left this channel with tears in my eyes.

[ffung501]

why cant youtube just give us the whole piece of wonderful music in one video?

I cried in the first half and when it stopped. The feeling is like... WHAT? DONT STOP!

[tigersabers]

I just want to know why in the first part to see this up to one million people but in the second part there are only 281,963 people.

[MrEmilien007]

I just adore 1.31

[animatedpheonix]

I prefer Horowitz over him XD.

[agustinkpo97]

12 people dont deserve live

[eiveepham]

I want to fuk those 12 people

[vids721]

11 people listen to Justin Bieber.

[maasai123456789]

@vids721 no, they listen to Richter's interpretation

[123eldest]

I don't get it, over 1 million people watch the first half and only about 300,000 carry on to watch the rest? WTF?

[titusbeertsen]

@123eldest That's the short attentionspan generation for ya. (Of which I'm part unfortunately...)

[thomas271104]

@123eldest

Because the title of the first one is:

Kissin -Rachmaninov piano concerto n.2, I. Moderato (part1)

while the title of part two is:

Kissin - Rachmaninov concerto #2. I. Moderato (part 2)

this slight difference makes it harder to appear in the collumn on the right. Also harder to find for some people

[AnImmortalEra]

@123eldest I'm guessing it's cuz the second half wasn't in the 'suggestions' part. I couldn't find it. I had to go to his account and search through all his videos for it xD

[JoeTownley]

@123eldest Must be that awful twang coming out of the piano in Part 2. Hurts my ears when the piano plays forte!!

[steedizzie]

@123eldest They aren't linked very well...had to do a new search to find the second half.

[domino1118]

@123eldest I think that the rest think that the first half was the last half or the last part:)

[evergreenshrubs]

@123eldest simply because there isn't this clip on the suggestions next right away. so to put it another way, not many people really care for the rest of this movement, thinking they've already had an orgasm)

[senormartus]

@123eldest cuz the sound quality isn't as good as part 1, but your concern is understandable

[123eldest]

Damn! My laptop doesn't go any louder!

[tigersabers]

man ,his hand is freakin awesome. . .

[dancingwithoutwords]

Why does he have that hair cut? Her head looks even bigger...does he show he's taller? she is so short isn't he?

[rahdisas]

I like my Rach a little choppier (more chords) and a little faster. This is nice - but it's a little too smooth for my taste.

[Ledtoogesabpistol70s]

i believe the most spine tingling bit is the horn line from 3.15-3.46

[lin2975]

Man this song sounds hard to play and yet he makes it look so easy.

[MattBushy1983]

4.30 onwards

woah

[obakeneo11]

of course Kissin is amazing here, but as a horn player i just have to say that this is one of the most beautiful horn solos out there...

[obakeneo11]

of course Kissin is amazing here, but as a horn player I just have to point out how this moving the horn solo is... one of my favorite!

[Diffomega]

*crys*

[mrseanbob]

This song feels so awesomely Russian.

[yasuisaaan]

some rad jew fro

and playing

[Manganimeartist]

I fell in love with this piece when I watched NODAME CANTABILE...when Chiaki played it with Stressemann as the conductor...I almost cried!! I was stolen and captivated...that piece made me ADORE classical music more than many other modern genre

[Manganimeartist]

I fell in love with this piece when I watche NODAME CANTABILE...when Chiaki played it with Stressemann as the conductor...I almost cried!! I was stolen and captivated...that piece made me ADORE classical music more than many other modern genre

[thiramthiram]

@Manganimeartist true very true.. although it's sad that chiaki was not that good at conducting... O.O

[Zerstauber22]

2:00 to 3:15 is actually unbelievable. Its amazing how subtle dissonance can be, and how melancholy such subtle dissonance can make a piece.

[BassicStorm]

How i LOVE this OMG!! <3333 LOVEEE IT! thx to Racha and thx to Evgeny!! :D Marvelous, Breathtaking!

[TheFindershe]

amazing Kissin, wonderful Rachmaninov

[prahavltava]

BRAVO !!!

[Brickybearable]

I would LOVE to buy this complete video....I love the thing...

[BassicStorm]

Marvelous, Breathtaking, Beautiful! PURE BEAUTY! Im in love with this Concerto! :)

[susake10amstril]

talented composer, talented pianist, talented orchestra(:

[clairrpark]

[twohund]

Rachmaninov. That's a long last name

[Volerto90]

[prahavltava]

Bravo!

So beautiful yet so sad

[463man]

Kissin is the best to play Rachmaninovs music,love it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[theshjt1]

@463man and so does Lugansky :D

[23062001805616]

High quality video. What a privilege such an artist perform with a solid talented orchestra behind him. With its problems are age is blessed with this technical ability to bridge the gap between performance and the audience beyond the concert hall.

[britelite2657]

This man is an unbelievable genius , i listen to this every night it is awesome

[britelite2657]

generation of the young youth , buy this musik it is beautiful and not your so called pop stuff

[fendertele123]

The ending.... where are his hands???

[BOTDFreprep]

I love kissin, because of his ability to be direct in what emotions he is using in his music. They notes and melodies are intense, yet you can feel exactly what he is feeling.

[itisjinzo]

They OWNED the concerto! :D Bravo! Standing ovation! :D

[freya38]

Perfect tempo!! I often found this piece played too fast for my liking...but this is perfect!

[goldstep999]

Oh, Heaven!

[conmon88]

what I want to know is....who are the 9 people disliked this video?? *smack*

[debrucey]

@conmon88 People who are offended by afros.

[josephwilbur]

@conmon88 the sound is a little bit strange comparing to the first part.

[josephwilbur]

@conmon88

[MultiDosu]

@conmon88 trolls

[dave510062]

@conmon88  now there are 5 more idiots dislike

[RachPhantom40]

He's a top piano player who gave his best there!

[Lox1344]

From this concert for me tears are piled up on eyes

[461300855]

Великолепная музыка.

[MeshiX3]

I will always love the first movement in this concerto because it's so dramatic! But I think I like this song played slower, because it feels like all the emotion is drawn out if played that way. Still good though!

[1980NewWave]

Wonderful playing but by no means the best I've heard for this concerto. Kissin goes overboard with the incessant ritardandos, and the orchestra didn't seem to quite "have it".

[Sinessecti]

omg! Kissin... He's amazing =)

[charlsSkoyfasThPnoPr]

i just LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo­oooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!!!! it brings tears to my eyes !!!! ooo god i hope one day can play like this!!! like  like like LIKE!!!!!

[loevehjerte]

@charlsSkoyfasThPnoPr OH MAN ME TOO. I wish this kind beauty for everyone  and for every artist who has this potential:)

[CancerMage]

Such emotion in his playing....you can see it in his eyes.

[woniuguai]

it's not the moment you press them, it's the way he does it...so perfect and pure.

[CherryTomatoCruncher]

No one can play that good. There must be a gremlin in his afro telling which keys to press and when to oress them.

[ahmedeox]

@CherryTomatoCruncher Yeah, a tiny mouse called Evgenouille.

[ixd735]

@CherryTomatoCruncher I call this little gremlin, "Brain."

[MJJpwns777]

@CherryTomatoCruncher Horowitz could play that good

[LversusKira]

Imagine how horrible it would be if they would have clapped at 1:59

[xjslx]

man oh man, how I wish I could've been there live.

[manimal42]

I'm not to sure it's a tradition, or at least an approved one. Far too many audiences think the "Triumphant" ending of the 3rd mvnt of Tchaikovsky 6th is a finale so they clap and get up to leave.

Orchestras shouldn't be to anal about clapping between movements for the most part. Audiences that have fun tend to come back!

[tarquin12]

Oh, this is superb. Kissin gives it his best.

[semochka89]

God, this is so beautiful. Moving and powerful. Gets me every time.

[LawrenceSLNg]

So expresive and musical, Well done.

[malikrox]

Haha, forgive me for my violinistic ways, but to me, I really sorta feel like this is the Sibelius Concerto of piano concertos. Amazingly beautiful and hauntingly expressive...

[cellogirl373]

@malikrox OMG YES. Sibelius happens to be my favorite violin concerto and Rach 2 my favorite piano concerto. No wonder I love them both. haha

[katusha389]

Стиль его игры очень похож на Рихтера. Рахманинов исполнял этот концерт совсем в другой манере. Но мне как раз больше нравится 2 концерт в исполнении Рихтера, в нем больше патетики

[ciliaspippi]

ох, как я уважаю Рихтера! И Евгений тоже!

[paulshoon7]

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS PIECE!!!!!!!!!!!! Favorite Piano Concerto.

[Clobalize]

YES! Not many can play this, but this one was GREAT!! :-)

[kingreenbean]

What the hell... the conductor is giving massive downbeats to the pianist. The conductor should be following Kissen- not the other way around.

[OrangeSodaKing]

He's not conducting Kissin, he's just flowing along... He is following Kissin.

[jjp009]

Orange: Nah, I don't think so. The Conductor is firmly in charge here.

[Illuv011]

Ya, the Orchestra is playing faster then Kissin is. The Conductor should have reigned them in some.

That being said, I actually like this concerto played slightly faster then Kissin's speed.

[xKawaiiKiwi]

too bad the crowd couldn't cheer.. i would've went BRAVO before the other two movements haha

[ciliaspippi]

If they were REALLY impressed, they give a brief, rebellious clap after the movement finished. I recently went to a concert where Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony impressed the audience greatly, and they were so impressed by the third movement that they clapped(against the "unwritten law", for a few seconds. Can't be too affectionate, now!

[paulshoon7]

but that's third movement... was that the last movement?

[ciliaspippi]

As I said, the third movement received a rebellious applause.

Most symphonies have 4 movements. Tchaikovsky's 6th was one of those. The 4th movement had a routine applause, when a piece finishes.

[dga471]

Actually I think this isn't too out of the ordinary: I read somewhere that it's a tradition to clap after the third movement of Tchaikovsky's 6th, before the tragic final movement.

[ciliaspippi]

@dga471 Ahhhh, thankyou, I had never heard of this tradition

[mrkwonsony]

I also kind of feel that the orchestra is a bit faster than Kissin's tempo. I mean, offen, not everywhere, I think the director just sucks .... No doubt Kissin's the best !!!

[dupes69]

definitely Tom hanks best perofrmance since "big".

[ciliaspippi]

OH MY GOD!!!! Listening to this piece for at least the hundredth time this week, my favourite concerto.

Never get's old, and Rachmaninov's piano pieces always inspire me.

[1p8t7r]

1:31

gives me the chills!

the whole concerto is GREEEEAT! luv it!

[armeniangeneve]

you're not alone ! bravo, good comment !

[metstudioversions]

@1p8t7r I don't think great is the word.....

actually, there are no words to describe what this concerto is XD

[castout888]

@1p8t7r same, wow rachmaninoff really knew how to compose...just unbelievable and this guy certainly knows how to play it!

[Kevinatmiis]

@1p8t7r YES! 1:31 - I watched this video specifically for this part and WOW! Just amazing! :)

[perdunchiki]

yeah, kissin is great, his grandma was taking him to a piano class when he was a little kid. Rachmaninov is so huge, and so nostalgic, very russian...

[phoolisness]

Great.

but a shame that the picture quality doesn't match the quality of the music.

but better this than vice versa.

[beethoven2nd]

on 1:30 i think that is the main theme... man this piece rocks...

[charleslang]

Looks a bit like Eraserhead.

[bernieplop]

great film!!!!

[Replikantisoutthere]

2:46 Space Dementia ripped by Muse

[bubblegumlipgloss6]

1:31 is my absolute favorite part
