Lugansky Bach Italian Concerto mov.3

[uhcnek]

That was perfect!

[KazKylheku]

This third movement has German written all over it. Bach is saying here, "enough of this frilly Italian cruft; let's finish it properly."

[Pianolady707]

This is just perfect in tempo, phrasing, dynamic and most importantly it is fresh and full of energy

[chentity]

Even though Lugansky can play this perfectly while keeping the tempo that quick, I still like this song performed a bit slower :(

[KazKylheku]

Very fast, but it doesn't *feel* fast because of the detail!

Fast with feel: rare. So many trained robots, so few humans.

[ZorkiUchida]

Wonderful performance. He successfully express Bach's wish straigntforwardly. Highly talented pianist!!

[teftae]

wow this interpretation is even better than gould's early recording (the fast version)

on par with gould's late recording (the slower version)

Gould's has better articulation and voicing, but this version simply owns with pure liveliness of a 19 y.o

[rofrano84]

the tempo is perfect. The feeling absolutely great. The technique is the one of an immense Master, a true one. Unbelievable...

[Corrupt5358]

Too fast, I don't like the way this is played at all.

[pushit234]

This is the kind of talent that needs to be publicized on "america's got talent", not magicians making people dissapear, and people swallowing swords.

[xxLenny92xx]

@pushit234 america is not worth this. america is pure shit and this is just wonderful. fatties who dont even like piano dont deserve to watch this...

[redshark618]

@pushit234 Unfortunately, appreciation of the classics is limited to the educated. When's the last time you heard America was becoming more educated?

[musicus73]

Schneller, höher, weiter...

[anonymousQ45]

@serbetli slower doesnt mean easier. I was only suggesting this movt btw, its very technical

[serbetli100]

Bravo! I've been practicing this for years, but never like this

[anonymousQ45]

@serbetli100 its very difficult

[serbetli100]

@anonymousQ45 Mov.1 is easier because it should be slower than mov.3 isn't it?

[pauljmeyer1]

Is his mastery of performance leading him towards composition.?

[xxLenny92xx]

@pauljmeyer1 i hope so! :)

[12345qazx1]

excellent

[bontempo01]

19 years old??? OK, you just got me depressed for the weekend.

[chobeethaninov]

@bontempo01 and this piece is also frequently learnt by 8 year olds as well (although none of them are as expressive as Lungansky)....When genius arrives it certainly seems to waste no time in announcing its presence!

[bontempo01]

This is really amazing. Very pure and simple, yet mind-blowing as only the best Bach can be.

Bolet said once "there is a great art in doing nothing 'special' to a piece of music". Ditto.

[kurniawan4000]

HIS FINGERS ARE TIED TO HIS HEART, THAT'S WHY HE PLAYED IT LIKE HE WAS SINGING IT. Awesome execution.

[ClassicalOJazz]

Top pianist of our time.

Exceptional.

[anonymousQ45]

this is really incredible i cant stop listening, it already has 2400 plays on my ipod

[aston0708]

What would the world be without Russian musicians?

[1980NewWave]

Even better than Gould's version, I'd say.

[mestreliszt]

@1980NewWave I don't think so...Better? are u crazy?

[pianotonton]

Il a les doigts, l'intelligence et le coeur : tout ce qu'il joue l'est admirablement

[anonymousQ45]

excellent dynamic contrast Lugansky is the man!!

[goatshaw]

[BarbaraPloyer333]

The trills in his left hand are SPECTACULAR!

Wow- I can't get enough of this guy.

[pslogge]

He is THE pianist of our times! Let us hail the musician that can bring peace to all art-lovers and their divided camps! hehehe

[wborgstro]

Anyone know what planet this genius hails from?

[indigoblue555]

Did he record some more Bach ?

[outereconch04]

He also recorded English Suite no.3 in his debut recital's LP. I haven't got that yet, so I hope that would release as a CD...

[indigoblue555]

to outereconch04 - thx for info.

Bach is a kind of benchmark for me....

I'm not setting this as an absolute statement though :)

[busylifemeto]

Pure genius

[perla51]
