Rachmaninov - Fabio Luisi - Piano Concerto No.2 Mvt.1

[axsad]

my usually hyperactive cat falls to sleep when this is on. That aside, simply stunning!

[xXconpianoXx]

at 06:06 he's like: "hell yeah! it's freakin hard to play, but why even look at my fingers? what's the conductor doing?" :D awesome pianist, his playing is outstanding!

[maychelsantos]

lml

[HiseiTensi]

Marvelous performance!

[creatorsnotebook]

Happy Birthday Fabio Luisi. You're the best conductor ever. Hope you have more life and blessings to come in Life. Nodame cantabile is awesome and keep conducting maestro! <3

[KingCharlemagneI]

what kind of fag dislikes this?

[yjpai1229]

sounds so lovely!

[DerPampa]

@imoimo19891010 hey, dude: I think it would be fair to include maestro Goerner's name in the title... Oh, by the way, great video!

[lavamaster530]

wow if this is 240p I want to see a 1080p of this

[mrakoplasovozadlo]

Such a good performance... one of the best I´ve heard.

[tjtheplay]

Fabio Luisi is such a good conductor!

[Jamieeeeechong]

wonderful :)

[Melodoniak]

omg the piano player is SO into it! He's absolutely amazing though.

[Nev51289]

I was just looking around on youtube and then randomly found Nelson Goerner playing this on the first video I clicked on! ...Funnily enough last week he gave me a lesson on this movement :D:D:D:D:D I was amazed at how awesome he was able to play and what he told me! Ha! Out of 122 THOUSAND people - I got a lesson with him!!! ;) Plus aside from his piano playing he's a good guy! :D

[JohnnyRedzin]

I ended up here because I watched The Seven Year Itch... yeah, I'm oldschool like that.

[cullivoebhoy]

@JohnnyRedzin - if you are REALLY 'Old School' you must watch 'Brief Encounter' starring Trevor Howard - a black & white romantic tear-jerker that even brought tears to my glass eye!

It features this music as it's sound-track - well worth a watch + you can see clips on You Tube. Have your hankie ready. Enjoy!

[jtpushmail]

What a fantastic interpretation!

[humanitari777]

the greatest,fantastic  and i don't have any good words for voting it

[Zircemerald]

This is my favorite Rachmaninov piece!

(so far!)

[MegSecretAgent]

ughhh it's so intoxicating.

[danthechevron]

It's amazing. This concert with such emotions played.

[lwm3398]

This made me... Feel.

[deafjammm]

@jammiileth *raises right hand*

[jammiileth]

I dont know how but because of nodame cantabile I end up here, someone else??

[schle07]

@jammiileth oh my i ended up here because of that as well hahahah :))))

[jammiileth]

@schle07 yeii! i wasn't the only one!!!!! xD

[D1vid3By0]

@jammiileth

That show really gave me a jump start into classical music. I was into Neo-classical shred before watching the show so i guess this was only a natural progression.

[jammiileth]

@D1vid3By0 i know!!!!! i actually play classic music and with the show I really start to try my best!

[Popsie3108]

@jammiileth It's actually thanks to Nodame that I listen classic music

[theK0OKS]

@jammiileth hahahaha i watched that anime years ago!! it's good, yes, but no i didn't end up here because of it :) i just really like rachmaninoff!

[happycadaver]

Does anyone know where to find the 2nd movement of this performance?? Goerner plays it so well!!

[lavamaster530]

I really want to learn this song but the intro already killed me off :( My hands are too small to reach all the notes in the chord in the intro. Fml.

[SwordPOL]

@lavamaster530

Play them as huge arpeggios or one hand arpeggio + right hand chord. I must train playing with arpeggios, because I can reach these notes, but there's problem with good dynamics.

[lavamaster530]

@SwordPOL I know but it doesn't sound as good when arpeggiated :(

[tjtheplay]

Fabio conducts with swag.

[Firestoner46]

Sometimes i can barely take it to listen to this piece.. My emotions go from laughing to crying in seconds! It's like being on drugs haha.

I love Rach so much... What a genius :)

[zbelda]

Rachmaninoff... this beautiful piano concerto has no match with other piano concerto. it's just so beautiful...

[diodde]

Hey! The pianist is not Fabio Luigi, it is Nebson Goernes...

[flyingsnowpig]

@diodde the video doesn't say the pianist is fabio luisi. read the description again.

[lordbryson]

outstanding performance, is slower that the Sergei Rachmaninoff itself but, i can enjoy every little note, thanks for such a master piece!

[Melody409]

I love this piece...and I love Rachmaninov <3 :D

[pmdillavou]

Amazing rendition - outstanding sound. The piano is a superior instrument and the soloist is amazing.

[koreanjeenyus]

i am holding a piece of bread and it turned into a piece of toast... the tempo is also perfect and the playing is very articulate...

[Powerslider]

@koreanjeenyus hahaha! Btw. Awesome version!!

[MariusChamberlin]

Nodame Cantabile introduces me to the best music!

[Melody409]

@MariusChamberlin Yeah your right XD

[ssanchez31]

@MariusChamberlin me too!!!!!

[bosiewkurze]

@MariusChamberlin me too! :))

[domino1118]

@MariusChamberlin Me to! :)

[nvsmp]

@MariusChamberlin Yeahh, Nodame Cantabile has the best soundtrack of all time, but is because that anime uses the music of the greatest masters of music.

[thedeeliciousplum]

Beautiful piece. I love the versatility and the manner of this gentleman's piano playing. Thank you for sharing this.

[lydialikespancakes]

So amazing.

[RighteousRainbow]

@lydialikespancakes You're amazing

[FunInUtah]

I have never seen someone look at the conductor so much. Usually the conductor is following the pianist during a concerto arent they? Lovely interpretation though!

[rach3kgc]

@FunInUtah do yourself a favor and talk to musicians 2 better understand what's going. you'll get more enjoyment and won't be distracted by worrying about who's looking at whom? how much/when they look at each other is unique to each situation. each 'team' works out its own way of communicating. maybe they never played together and the pianist is learning the movements of the conductor. or vice a versa. in spite of this, you have very good taste as this really is a fine performance.

[olivleonardo]

Nelson Goerner's name should be in the title.

[mattcabideinchrist]

Voldemort plays Rachmaninoff!! :D

[FunInUtah]

@mattcabideinchrist um... boldemort is completely bald and face looks different

[mattcabideinchrist]

PERFECT!!



[villagenoodle]

i can die to this!

[SiconDax]

This pinist sucks at rachmaninoff

[Danc3ParTy]

@SiconDax nice spelling ;)

[SiconDax]

@Danc3ParTy

lol my 'a' key isn't working very good :p

and I am not english so don't mock my if you find some errors :p

[rach3kgc]

@SiconDax i don't know what more you could want. listen to a few hundred recordings of the piece and reconsider this strange opinion.

[saudadesoueu]

rachmaninoff simplesmente maravilhoso, uma pessoa fica rendida a este encanto

[nickoicool]

Just started learning the whole concerto! My favorite piece of music all time.

[TheAmuHiko]

So soft....

[BmGeoBm]

the ending is absolutely orgasmic..i wish i could witness a live rendition of this

[LoftyProduction]

5:53 - 6:03 is rachmaninoff is rachmaninoff becoming ever closer to coming out of his depression, and then at 6:03 he conquers is and comes back with full force. That's just how interpret that section (listen and judge for youself, would love to hear everyones thoughts)

[BmGeoBm]

@LoftyProduction one finds whatever meaning he wants in music...when i hear this amazing piece i think of beautiful natural disasters (such as an avalanche or a volcanic eruption)...the sheer force of this concerto is comparable with the force of nature...monumental.

[tisho91]

Man,I'm just in love with this.This may be the only or one of the very few things Rachmaninoff is famous with,but it can be put in the top 5 best piano concerts and classical compositions ever!

[valeriealmamarie]

This version is the best I've ever heard.

[soullessSiIence]

How can someone give a negative vote to this?

[VermillionThunder]

I cant think when I hear this. I just feel.

[jefftam1234]

Who cares about the conductor. It's a piano concerto, put Nelson Goerner's name in the title.

[jefftam1234]

Who cares about the conductor. Put 'Nelson Goerner' in the title.

[mllevinet]

The version I like the most too!

[stchopin]

perfect

[freeqwerqwer]

i can tell just by the opening solo bars that he doesn't know the russian spirit of this song. He plays it in his own flowery way

[tonarishiba]

Simply Beautiful.

With no big scale, demonstration of this concerto can be great.

[nathanheathdavies]

So perfect, the tempo is spot on. Exhilarating performance.

[Durgakalim]

COOL!

[lordandr3w]

Bravo! Love this version!

[kilifi4]

I like this music. Amazing.

[Sashomei]

but where are the other parts!!!

[Sashomei]

finally full video!!! not disgusting cuts and parts...

thanks for the quality

and hes really good pianist

[solveaproblem]

Nelson Goerner - a pianist of phenomenal technique, and the utmost humility and integrity. I shall never forget seeing him in recital in 07 or so...I bawled my eyes out afterwards. Would love to see him in concert again!

[mikeee32]

the strings have a fantastic tone, especially at around 9:15

[marmeduke1]

Awesome!!!!!!!!

[JUNKO135]

bravo!

[PSVWWE]

I'm going to listen and watch to:

Tsjaikovski - The Swan Lake (parts)

Rachmaninov - Pianoconcert nr 2

Stravinsky - Petroesjka (version 1947)

In Eindhoven, October 2nd. With Alan Buribayev as conductor, Simon Trpceski on piano.

[mariamcardoso]

This gives me goosebumps...

[rosebabes100]

very dramatic !!

[timzterific]

Please upload the 2nd and 3rd movements too!!!!! The quality of the audio and video is very good. Please please please upload mvmt 2 and 3 as well!

[TJAnimated]

Okay im not a big fan of classical Music but i like a big portion of it but i just find it hard how he has this all memorized

[googenshlagen]

@TJAnimated

Imagine writing it.

[snaaptaker]

The "Karajan version" is still on YT.

If you morons could remember that this is a piano concerto, and that there is a pianist involved, and if you could remember his name, you might be able to find it.

[chang0607]

can't find parts II and III

[TheKawai]

this is played in the Berlin´ "Philharmonie" building

[yamahaU3]

@TheKawai Isn't this Suntory Hall in Tokyo?

[TheRoyaleHacker]

Really cool! Fabio Luisi is a genius!

[braunmuehl]

An interpretation beyond any exaggerations and overused clichés of the "Russian soul".

I t just lets the beauty of this music speak for itself.

[alb660]

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO GET A COPY OF THIS ENTIRE VIDEO CONCERT? WHERE IS IT AVAILABLE? WHO RECORDED IT?

It IS my ALL TIME favorite... PLEASE if you know.. let me know... I would deeply appreciate it.

Allen

[dallaspianophile]

beautiful, the more I hear him play, the more I admire his sensitive, beautiful tone and lyricism.

ixd735, bald is beautiful; where have you been for the last 20 years of male fashion?

Why do people feel it necessary to make snide remarks about the appearance of a performer, which has nothing to do with the music. That's just rude.

[ixd735]

One word. Rogaine.

[pjkilmer]

imoimo19891010, thank you for this vid. It's the best I've ever heard my favorite movement of my favorite piano concerto. Love it! Fabio Luisi, NHK Symphony and Nelson Goerner, no wonder.

[ijustretired]

beautiful playing- very well thought through from the opening bars- Bravo

[666Von666]

Good.

[maxicaas]

Me gusta mucho la actitud de cooperacion del director

[eliopianista33]

BRAVO!

[jorgealbertobaron]

GRAN OBRA

[flawlessly]

Hey, after listening to various versions, I must say this is the one I like the most.

The tempo, the piano, the passion... It's great.

[CheesePhoenix]

@flawlessly personally, I'd say it's too fast, and the piano drowns out the strings too much in this movement. Karajan had the best version, but it got removed D:

[jzguru]

@CheesePhoenix ABSOLUTELY AGREE! Cheesephoenix.. I unfortunately had to hear the Karajan version first before any other ones and the difference for me in Passion and Musicianship from Karajan to other versions is night and day!

[flawlessly]

@CheesePhoenix I think I prefer a faster version coz it makes the melody itself more powerful and overwhelming. But i guess it's a matter of personal taste. Karajan version was good, too (Karajan is always good, hehe). Shouldn't have been removed! =(

[arsonizta]

@CheesePhoenix @CheesePhoenix - I Agree as well! Why was it removed? It was the best!.. well actually i was looking for it, then i found this.

[FallenAngel2737]

@flawlessly I looked up the song and it has 95 pages. thats why it is the hardest song in the world. I have looked over every page so I can see how these people would be obsesed with the piano. Only 5 people in the world know how to play this song. I fifgured I would learn it to even out the number.

[hazza44411]

@FallenAngel2737 Please, its a piece of music, not a song :| oh and waaay more than five people know this.

[SirGlennGould]

@FallenAngel2737 I HIGHLY doubt that only 5 people in the world can play it.

[Ally123234]

@FallenAngel2737 Complete bull... It's on the majority of concert pianists repertoire... It is no were near the hardest "PIECE" in the world either..

[adamjenson4500]

@FallenAngel2737 Rachmaninovs 3rd piano concerto is much harder than this

[prosatwork]

@FallenAngel2737 Simplistic reasoning and simplistic thinking ain't going to get you nowhere if ure learning "the most difficult piece in the world". Maybe ur "most difficult piece in the world" will change if you search for Islamey by Balakirev. If you truly only know 5 people who play this well then you haven't seen the Internet. You could start by counting how many "suggestions" YouTube gives on the right side of this screen. I can guarantee you, it's more than 5 ;)

[prosatwork]

@FallenAngel2737 Oh wait...didn't Sesame Street teach you to count to 10? Did you stop at 5?

[FallenAngel2737]

@prosatwork how rude, I looked up the sheet music I know how to count from one to 10 in 10 different languages and I'm 18 can you do that didn't think so. What did I ever do to you I was just making a statement. you don't have to get all rude with me.

[TheManGuyDude]

@FallenAngel2737 What makes you think he can't? If i were to say he can count one to ten in 100 different languages? You can tell me that i'm just bullshitting. But so can we, you're just bullshitting.

[FallenAngel2737]

@TheManGuyDude I am not I have friends younger than I and they speak 26 diffrent languages fluently I only know how to speak little in each language but enough to carry on a conversation and that's good for a beginner. I like to extend my knowadge any way I can so thank you very much. and their are many talented people who know how to speak many diffrent languages their called linguists hello aka study of diffrent languages you know language teachers.

[prosatwork]

@FallenAngel2737 Firstly, I apologise for getting emotional. Secondly, I think u see the issue here is not b/w u & me, but ur perception of piano music. Again it's not how many languages u can speak, but rather ur exposure to & knowledge of the language of music. That 1st comment u made honestly sounded like it came from a kid, but if ure new to music, it's fine. Hope u'll broaden ur perspective by listening to much much more good music so that u won't post ridiculous comments again.

[FallenAngel2737]

@prosatwork I'm not trying to post ridiculous comments. I have never had a piano lesson in my life and I have self tough myself how to read the notes on the sheet music but the age of 5 and a half to 6 years old. And I know how to play at least 10 other instruments including the flute, the oboe, the Clarette, I took a few saxophone lessons, I know how to play the guitar electric and acoustic I am teaching myself the violin and I am going to be tough on how to play the accordion.

[leongradoazz]

@FallenAngel2737 Thank you for sharing your fictional life story on Youtube. I'm sure we all care. Please stop posting comments and enjoy the music.

P.S. You might want to spellcheck and get someone to revise your comments because your English isn't very good and you're just making a fool of yourself. :)

[FallenAngel2737]

@leongradoazz So what if I'm making a fool of myself at least I'm proving a point doing it. And you're being terribly rude I am American okay yes sure I have other nationalities in me like Russian and German Chinese and Japanese as well but of course all's you're going to do is throw another immature comment in my face at least I have self esteem unlike you who think you need to bash people on the internet and throw a pissy fit because you're life isn't perfect. and you only know I'm right.

[leongradoazz]

@FallenAngel2737 Keep talking because I care.

[ceryamikz1]

@flawlessly I agree there was one video that was better but it was removed I do not know why

[sorh8]

@flawlessly me too!

[WOWdato]

I liked, played very carefull and clean. technic paints music here. thet;s right!

[pianoenthusiast11]

goerner has got to be my favourite living pianist...he is just the best...heard him in the rach 3rd and was outa this world!

[samantajane]

Nelson Goerner is 100% among the best 10 pianist in the world. I hope he will play more and more and will get more recognition

[Music2Die4]

That performance of the opening movement would have put a smile on Sergei's face........
