Rachmaninoff Elegie in E Flat Minor

[rawrerererererererer]

LUVED IT :) RAWRRR

[OfficialRedux]

why so fast, and such varying tempo? left hand is too broken, it must be a creeping, rubber-like legato. Wrong rhythm in some parts. Remember...crescendo does not mean acceleration. Play it slower. Your have no time to show true emotion. The right hand is also broken. The right hand is the melody, dont break it. Overall, unnecessary speeding up of tempo, too fast, first part is pp and mf at the loudest. save the emotion for the 3d part! You failed at doing that.

[TheWhiteResistance]

Absolutely B-E-A-UTIFUL!

[figurefigure]

very very well done! but i have one suggestion, and its the polyrhythms messing up the triplets in ur right hand a little bit, and to make every note in the triplets more equal would make that section sound very impressive indeed :)

:) good

Very well done! It is such a moving peice to play, as well as listen to!

I've heard people tell me that writing as an art, is just as complex as playing an istrument. I used to find that hard to believe. Until I heard this, when I simply stopped believing it. It is so good to know that classical music has not died, and Rachmaninoff is quite possibly my favorite composer. Thank you for this.

[MCRachmaninoff]

@LaodMoutH I did not realize that my playing would inspire someone this deeply. I am grateful that you enjoyed my interpretation of this great piece - one of my favourites of Rachmaninoff.

L O V E I T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jaychangjae]

I think an even more dramatic crescendo at the climax would make your interpretation even better! But great job! You played better than me haha

[jaychangjae]

Quite similar to Rach's own interpretation. Modern pianists seem to often play this in a much slower tempo, but I like both interpretations equally as much! I think your interpretation adds more meaning though, since it has an even stronger sense of remorse.

[microtee1998]

this is fantastic!!

[boris4848]

A very interesting interpretation. A very beautiful pianissimo starting of the piu vivo part! Nonetheless I think when this piece is played a little faster, it becomes a valse, not a lament for dead. And you showed a different (unusual) approach towards the large cords of the end of the second page. Anyway your interpretation is unique thanks.

[toliverma]

Loved it. I almost cry.

[dindan4]

wonderful playing, i even thought it was played by rahmaninov himself

[hobeybennett]

Incredible. Very sensitive, and harsh.

Completely suited the piece and your playing complimented the mood in everyway. I would love to learn this song on piano, altthough, i am just a drum player.

Good job.

[MCRachmaninoff]

@hobeybennett thanks, and much appreciated! Also, its never too late to learn piano! Just takes years of practice but totally worth it.

@MCRachmaninoff

Really? Would you like to email me the score?

[sorenkrane]

I understand you were experimenting with rubato, however, sometimes I felt it was jerky and a bit too much. When you returned to the main theme, the timing there was magnificent. The rubato really worked in that part.

[SenoraFabregas]

it's good but you should be more sensitive and..like...caring? in the beginning and not too fast :)

but it was good! :)

[xMeanBean]

i love it so much i could cry. i love it. i love it. i love it. i love it.

good job buddy

[JuyoNi]

you have a beautiful technique, i would love it if you would play his prelude in g minor, thats the one im learning right now:) i cannot get over his gift for melody, how amazing is he?

[Wagerfilm]

beautiful recording.

[goostmaster]

So i'm listening to this and following along with the sheet music, and a little into the video i wondered which of the great pianists played this rendition, only to find out it was you.

Congratulations, that is really truly impressive. It's beautiful.

[XPJamieXD]

Very reminiscent of Rachmaninoff. I love the....well I always describe it as agitated feel but it's more that sense of pain and anguish that I can feel in your playing...especially in those chordal triplets. Amazing interpretation.

[winterwind1810]

Wow! Your transition to the middle section is superb. Great job!

[awesomepianist654]

beautiful...i love how you make it sound so emotional and painful...it takes real talent to make a song sound so wonderful.. great job!

[MCRachmaninoff]

thanks for all the comments guys!

[sal44236]
