Rachmaninov's 3rd pianoconcert - Leif Ove Andsnes - 1:5

[ChapterIIV]

best pk music ever! l0ll0l0l

[BBQhonk]

I love Andsnes' Grieg, but this performance is lacking in passion. I became bored with it about three minutes into it. Compare this to Martha Argerich's interpretation and see what I mean.

[coaster1000]

Den bedste Rach 3, i hvert fald den eneste der kan stå ved siden af Argerichs!

[classicnorthwest]

@coaster1000 What about Horowitz?

[pointreyes6]

Nowhere near as good as Lugansky

[ossiacadenza1]

Lugansky played this in Sheffield and I got to meet him ... He plays it top notch!

[pointreyes6]

@ossiacadenza1 I was going to go to that concert! Ive seen him play it in los angeles, Birmingham, amsterdam and london. He's the best Rach 3 interpreter out there today.

[abmsghost]

@pointreyes6 Dont say that! You are ignorant and not in a position to give this kind of comment. Both of them are exeptional pianists,each in their own un ique way.You dont need to like Andsnes but:" nowhere as good",puts him down as a dilletant compared to Luganski.You are out of line as much as a lot of other critics on the youtube forums.

En av Norges største utøvende kunstnere gjennom alle tider! Bravo!

[DavidThePianist]

Harry Potter is directing xD lol !!!

Apart of this, this is my favourite interpretation of the Rach 3

[dialecticon]

A refreshing lack of exaggeration on the rubato gives this interpretation immediacy and directness, in which the cantabile and the structural unity of the work are never lost.

[Xargxes]

@dialecticon lack of exaggeration....

[MrAsungot]

Does anyone know whether Leif is gay? I have been reading his online autobiographies, and there is absolutely no mention of his personal life. And he's almost 40 y.o. -- now connect the dots!

[Drontheim]

@MrAsungot

No, LOA is not gay. He's in a relationship with a Norwegian musician (Ragnhild Lothe). They have been living together for the last 3 years.

[iwnathan]

@Drontheim Who cares anyway about this brilliant performer's personal life.

[alyosha24601]

@Drontheim Glad to hear he's merely a fornicator! Well, his music is great.

[aituar77]

I dont think so.

[nurit50il]

exelent! thanks!

[sporvogn7659]

Hold da kæft hvor er det smukt og beroligende - lige til terassen en sommeraften og en flaske rødvin !

[mugge62]

Tak for den gode ide med rødvinen. Det skal prøves lidt senere på året. Ja, Leif Ove Andsnes spiller dette svære stykke helt fremragende sammen med Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester som betegnes som et af verdens bedste.

[postumt]

Helt fantastiskt, otrolig pianist som spelar ett förtrollande musikverk och orkestern binder briljansen samman..
