Rachmaninoff - Etude-tableau Op.33 No.9 in C-sharp minor

[rachm06]

chords at the end remind me about scriabin!

[zaratustrav]

have similitudes with c sharp minor prelude, so great

[Spiritakis]

Now here Ashkenazy trully rocks, completely blowing away Lugansky and Volodos. So does Serge indeed: stupendous etude, certainly one of his finest and most characterstic.

[MartinaFromPoland]

love that !

[glyapik]

Go Ashkenazy!!!!

Whenever somebody wants to understand Russian soul und wants to get to know the meaning of Haдрыв, he simply should listen to this... Tells more than any dictionary ...

Thanks for this treasure !!!

[JonnyboyCalippo]

@MAZURKAofLIFE I really want to understand the Russian language , but You are right : Music is the language who everyone of us understand ..

[Kalen1457]

1:26-1:32 is like an explosion of pure anger.

[Freddran]

@Kalen1457 I wouldn't say anger especially at this part - maybe passion

[jimloomb]

after chopins this is the best etude ever written

[Minoru73]

Truly RUSSIAN. XD

[Kalen1457]

No, truly Rachmaninoff.

[Elisan1313]

[devostm]

[cattleman6420012000]

I really like his playing. A fantastic pianist.

[konzolmester]

Yes. My favorite too. He has the so called true tallent :-)

[lamorlayefrance]

Not simply a great, or one of the greatest composers, but truly one of the greatest pianists of all time.

[cattleman6420012000]

I totally agree with you lamorlayefrance

[Freddran]

@lamorlayefrance It's not played by Rachmaninov
