[Vmpireluver]

Nobody's perfect at rachmaninoff, but this is pretty damn close.

[xo4u1dessert]

trop la classe ce boris, il déchiffre le morceau et ose le jouer en concert

[KrummyBear]

Haha, 3:04-5 is the only error you'll ever hear him make in all of these videos, so savor his humanity for that brief moment.

[OverFjell]

How much more difficult is this than the original?

[OverFjell]

How beautiful, would love to hear his treatment of Elegie

[MegaPetrof]

He didn't play the penultimate two bars.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

Who's that guy who started to record right in the beginning?

[MegaPetrof]

Dafuckingmart? Got to be.

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

@MegaPetrof LOL A high possibility I think...

some of Rachmaninoff's most famous and pretty pieces are in the key of C sharp minor/ e major. Such as this piece, his prelude in c sharp, and vocalize. the melody in the left hand, can be based off of Chopin's etude in c sharp minor (what a coincidence), so sincere and romantic, that goes through modulations. I prefer both version's, to be honest, and i must say, for learning it for 5 days, berezoskyk does an excellent job playing this, bravo

[franticbrainremover]

can someone translate what he says?

[0515anni]

I discovered this piece 5 days ago.

So, I cannot play it by heart, but I'm going to play it with my heart.

It's called "Melodie".

@0515anni Quite subtle in french isn't it ? :)

This is one of Rachmaninoff's most beautiful works. There are actually two version of it. The version played here is the more ornamental and more rarely performed of the two.

I recommend listening to the other version as some people might find more beauty it simplicity (simplicity is a relative term when it comes to Rachmaninoff.)

[Drelnis]

Yes, the version he is playing is the revised edition, 1940. The simpler version is the original version in 1892. I personally prefer the original version for its simplicity, yes :D I believe this revised edition is rather over-ornamented for such a beautiful and simple melody.

[Ruchfun]

It's amazyng,every time I discover a new

composition of Rachmaninov,I'm surprised of his wealth and depth of

feelings that came from his notes!
