Rachmaninoff Concerto N. 2 - II. Adagio sostenuto (2/2)

[maumalina]

Apesar de ter gostado muito, penso que o vídeo, por estar o tempo todo num plano fixo, com pouca dinâmica, não oportuniza que vejamos mais de perto as mãos do solista no teclado em todos os movimentos de desenvolvimento da sua performance. E também planos que poderiam focar os pequenos solos de elementos da orquestra não aparecem.

We all owe Rachmaninoff a big thank you.

[Kaggypants]

5:34...that note is incredibly out of tune and you can hear it in the first movement. God this performance was so vigorous and full of energy. Bravo!

[manu974aimwill]

vers la 4ème minute, c'est frisson qui nous prend des doigts de pied aux cheveux, notre coeur s'emballe, c'est un mastodonte de la musique ... 

[11geosno]

@1:48 Sounds like Space Dementia by Muse

[papernicolas3]

@11geosno more like the other way around. matt bellamy is a big rachmaninoff fan.

[MistaKlutch]

I liked 0:00 - 5:53 =D

[darkbluemars]

0:28 i was always skipping that part. now i like the whole of it

[ASJH1102]

Ur retarded, that piano is only veryy slightly out of tune, but practically all pianos are. It sounds wonderful none the less. and if you're that picky that's your problem.

You probably have no ear at all, you're just trying to make a clever comment.

[gwaur]

That piano is seriously out of tune.

[Canonindxxx]

how can you even tell that?

[BryceBnc]

My God..

At 3:45 I'm always trying to hold back the tears :)

[Dizintograte]

This is so beautiful, I think i'm going to cry! That's what Rachmaninoff does to me! :D

[TVirusXXX]

I expect to hear this pianist again with more feeling, because i think hes no feeling it, just playint it since the first movement or first video... mate, feel the music play with orchestra, is not at all the piano solos, even if its like that in most of this concert or concerts from Rachmaninoff

[concorde04]

I think I like how he plays though. I think he already puts emotions into the piece. I like how he plays so clear, not too much feelings, and let the piece speaks for itself. Just like Nikolai Lugansky, I like how he plays as well.

[knodalo]

passionate performance... so beautiful...

[ildgrubtrollet]

This is the most beautiful piece I've ever heard, and I've been listening to quite a lot of music eventhough I'm just at the age of 18..

[youvebeensmoked]

To be concerned with note-perfect public performances is to set yourself up for a life of disappointment. These sort of performances simply do not exist. And in the grand scheme of errors, this error is so minor (I am not absolutely sure it is an error- I think it could be simply a strange moment in the audio) that I am truly shocked that it was the only thing you felt compelled to discuss about this performance. I was in no way ruined by this moment- no performance can be ruined by one chord

[jczcameron]

Also looking for errors is to listen to music with preconceptions of how it should be - i never knew it was a mistake until someone actually mentioned it - it certainly didn't ruin the performance in my opinion anyhow

[robert140602]

At 4.20,a terrible howler.Absolutely the wrong note,ruined the performance.

[JiRocket]

no your ruining for yourself by being too damned concerned with perfection or tone

[robert140602]

Please.....It's the highlight of the performance,and he fluffed it.I'll bet no one other than the pianist himself is more disappointed.

[Robotman42]

Pardon me for contradicting, bit it is absolutely not the highlight of the performance!

[knodalo]

the wrong note? I think u r wrong

[robert140602]

You do have the original version by Rachmaninov don't you?If so, you will know and understand that what I said was absolutely correct.

[mikeee32]

it sounds a bit too smashy after 4:20. the orchestra sounds great though, but in my taste, the piano should back off a little in general, but especially with those bass notes

[coloraturakae]

For me mvmt 2 encompasses all the beauty there is in this world. This is very powerful music. Rachmanioff was a genius. I love singing his work; it sits perfectly in the voice.

[coloraturakae]

Oh, I also used to live around the corner from where he lived in New York. Very cool...

[ahonda55]

I whish that Rachmaninoff is still alive to hear these comments, he would be proud of course.

[Ipanema79]

I enjoyed II movement sooooooooo much!In the first one (I movement) I missed a bit more rollentando in some climaxes, though it was wonderful , as well!But Adagio is perfect!Thanks a lot, Georgi!And Rachmaninov was a genious, this is even out of discussion!:)) Awesome job, thanks!

[Ipanema79]

RAllentando, I meant.

[egidiocardoso]

In fact, Celine Dion's producers, hadn't take this music to make "All By Myself". Eric Carmen, did it in 1975

[CICGROUP]

Van Cliburn's version is wonderful too. Long,long time ago.Not as much rubato and the octaves are powerful. This is also great.I love it.

[mcnaught16]

absolutely fatastic!! bravo!! but i noticed that celine dions producers took this song and made ' all by myself' :( im telling u, most of the fatastic music of all time is being copied

[lovelesspierrot]

musical orgasm at 4:20

[Soloiszt]

@lovelesspierrot yeahh and the chords were very brilliant !

[sagalat]

Great contender in the Rach 2 pantheon. From 04:20 he captures the majesty of Weissenberg. Compares favorably, too, with Richter, and the wondrous old Rubenstein/Reiner recording. So, until Ulugbek Palvanov gets back to work, we have here in Cherkin a serious contender.

[Alegoo92]

I love the ending of this piece- and the violins+piano executed it perfectly.

[AngelinaTaylor]

Amazing! Very good interpretation!! One of the best I've heard. It's kind of cool, it's pretty close to my personal interpretation of it :) Radvam se che ima takiva talantlivi Bulgari po sveta :)

[xAmandine]

I'm so proud to live on the same planet where this music was created and is performed, here so wonderfully by you. THANK you for playing this!!! and thank you for uploading it!

[NavitasExcessum]

I agree absolutely, I also loved his choice in cords. Very good dynamics, very effective. This is one of those time I wish I was in a professional orchestra. Alas!

[typicalmusiclover]

Technique is absolutly fluent, those runs and scales and so clear, incredible, this is so far the best i've heard of rach 2nd, amazing.

[dedbusted]

@typicalmusiclover Listen to Ormandy and Bernstein do it!
