Sofronitsky plays Rachmaninoff Prelude Op. 23 No. 6

[samichaa]

absolutely gorgeous... i'm learning this piece at the moment and i aspire to play it as well as Sofronitsky. my favourite part is from 1.03 - 30ish but the whole piece is so beautiful. i always love Rachmaninoff's melodies & harmonies!

I closed my eyes and saw raindrops dancing on the surface of a lake - then the rain quietly stopped...

A magnificent performance that is so natural sounding that it hides the great art and technical mastery that went into it. Sofronitsky was one of a handful of the truly great musicians who played the piano; I love this performance very much, and of course the piece is absolutely magnificent.

Most pianists drown this in pedal but he plays it with the clarity needed. Great!!!! As Richter said, a god

Bravo, Софроницкий -- mentor to Richter and Gilels.  His interior accents at 1:20...Superb!

Yea!!!!!!!!!

I love this performance. It's so subtle, charming, gentle, tender. The color is almost a wonder, the example you mentioned is doubtless a highlight,
