Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto no.3 (Cadenza - Ossia) (Grand piano)

[boomerz89]

great articulation one of the better versions i've ever heard

[alexmanzo19]

Wow!!

[rurikrussi]

One of my favorite versions of the ossia cadenza of the rach 3, just perfect!!!!!!!! :D

[jmazz84]

I will assume that comment was not meant for me, because it was completely ridiculous.

If it was, however, not only was it ridiculous but also completely uninformed. Rafael Orozco's version of the Rach 3 is one of the best recordings I have ever heard. His ossia cadenza is the most powerful version that I've ever heard. I don't particularly like that a measure towards the end is omitted, but it is still great.

Thats all. Feel free to respond but save your breath if its meant to insult.

[Skinkehaps]

The piece didn't make David Helfgott insane.

His father did. :)

[JohnEBPiano]

Actually, the movie was 70% or so fiction, his father was actually a loving man based on all of the family's opinions and he had a mental illness from birth. That made him insane, imagine how his father would have felt about all this.

[razcalz]

piano is horribly out of tune!!!

[jazzophis]

very good man, from all the videos on here that Ive heard yours sounds the most like the version from the movie shine, which is the best Ive heard it played.

[ange8510]

Shine? The best you've heard? You should check out Horowitz, Olga Kern or Ashkenazy. It's a toss up between Kern and Horowitz.

[throwaway69247]

Bronfman, all day every day.

[pgbollig]

Grigory Sokolov is my favorite!

[busylifemeto]

Personally I don't like Horozitz version at all, I agree with Olga Kern, Ashkenazy is fantastic BUT no one has yet to beat Lazar Berman with the Cadenza. I believe Lugansky will probably be the one

[pnnorton]

I think the midi version is generally the most accurate and thus my favorite. Also it saves me $10 on the CD!!

[Hervinbalfour]

Thank You! Someone beat me to it. I have yet to hear the cadenza played with such strength and clarity the way in which he plays it. Incredibly powerful.

[deprerach]

you should listen one time from Idil Biret..

watch?v=3TbGumaYf-8

[jmazz84]

Rafael Orozco

[busylifemeto]

It is the constrampulation of the transmognafactor that makes all the differnce when squaring the interpolated inverse algorythm of acropolois intertwining light waves.!!......................­....About as revevant as your stupid comment reply to me !!!!!

[sasquash12]

My favourite is Leif Ove Andsnes with the Oslo Philharmonic

[madtairam]

animal!

[yomkk]

good effort.

[gigge83]

1;28 and over ithink that must be a little more fast than that

[mrmonkeybuns]

how fast, horowitz fast, argerich fast, rachmanioff fast , cilburn fast how fast?

[deprerach]

Idil Biret plays slow than others.

[BlackieChan002]

hey man, how long did you practice to get your hands to move so damn fast?

[CALVINBYKELVIN]

I love it!!!

[mslovlielisa]

it was his father that made him insane and not the piano. But very good skill, you have.

[mslovlielisa]

I think also mental illness of his type does not set in until a person in in their 20's

[pianofreak195]

It's Very Fast!!

[pianofreak195]

I Love It!!!

[nojstradamus]

do you have the concerto in its entirety, or do you have just the cadenza.

and if it is the latter, where did you obtain it.

[biokemiker]

I have both the whole concerto and the cadenza. I borrowed it from my local music library in Denmark. They got almost everything!

[picguy145]

Very Nice Job :) Check me Attempting to play after 4yrs. of lessons. How long did it take for you to learn the notes then forget them..lol

[biokemiker]

thanks, I used around 2 months to learn the cadenza. Mmmm... I don't think I have forgotten it yet, but I also still play it akmost everyday :)

[piedijon]

debes aprender todo!

[lacrymosa85]

excellent job! thanks for your comments on my video! I can't wait to see you upload more of the rach 3

[waynespeers]

how did you do that without the neighbours bothering you?

congratulations on a great performance!

[biokemiker]

Hehe... I guess they were not home that day :)

[APiazzolla]

A good performing... I congratulate you!

I suggest you that it could be perform a little more 'pesante', but... WOW, really good performing! Amazing, boy!

[leereed60]

Great playing but my god that piano needs tuning!

[IloveAlexisBledel689]

I'm learning it but I have problems with the 0:58-1:10 part... can you give me any tips??

Great playing by the way!

[ThePianistZ]

great job man

[gott1rott]

Very good job. How long did it take you to learn the cadenza?

[biokemiker]

Thanks! It took me around 1 month to learn it.

[ironflange]

Oops! Not your piano! Uh. . . never mind. :) Keep up the good work.

[ironflange]

Good work dude, now get busy and learn the rest of the piece. But tune your piano soon, for God's sake.

[lubchenko]

Wow alot of the people maknig comments here are freaks... especially that sexual energy guy... anyways good playing!

[schroder79]

wow, nice job. Ilook forward to hearing more from you.

[monkiemike]

respons to"nikosremixmachine" yeah right!!! like u had the physical qualifications for it when you where 10. seeing is believing. you must have the biggest hands ever! dont belive ya!

good work biokemiker. its a big effort to play it as an amateur. seems you have the skill to become a concert pianist. maybe you should consider a career change ?

[apo2520]

dimitris sgouros played when he was 12!!!!!!!

[chopin5440]

Mozart composed a minuet for harpsichord when he was 6. Talent is talent no matter what age. Anyone who can play this passage should feel proud. I feel it's all for the greater good. biokemiker, play for your friends, family, and youtube every chance you get. But most importantly, play for yourself. God Bless.

[apo2520]

chopin5440 you couldn't be more correct

[willsstownsend]

yes i am also a young petitioner of classical music and i believe that through the art of playing the piano, and these fine pieces, the sexual energy produced, can in fact, turn a woman pregnant. why through my piano, i am in fact having sex with the composers. I had wolfgangus last tuesday and mr rachmaninoff just last night, twas a long 3 hour performance, and yes by the end i was sweaty, tired, and up for some more. tis a good performance but put more sexual energy into it. defence

[nikosremixmachine]

i played the rach 3 when i was 10 years old, i play the whole concerto in my room for fun on sunday afternoons, playing the piano is not a matter of reading the notes, it is learning from the composer, it is a conversation between u and the composer, i have spoken to joannes mozart on numerous occasions, ludwig van beethoven has a bit of a sense of humour too. i am now 14 and have played 343 concerto's, this is a pretty good effort but its too slow, rachmaninoff composed this peace violently.

[hazza1321]

thats insanely amazing im so jealous

[steve2045]

hahaha GREAT!!!

If you can play that part you can play the whole concerto!

Well done. If i was forced to critique, i'd say it was abit technical as opposed to emotional, but thats nitpicking.

Fantastic playing!

[MartMart]

pffft...this is easy! ...I can play it better than this with my eyes closed! :-P

Ok, only joking! Great playing there mate, I do know how difficult this is, I have tried...LOL (lets not go there). As was siad, pity about the sound quality, but didn't spoil my enjoyment..thanks for sharing :-)

[biokemiker]

haha.... nice joke! Thanks so much for listening. Yeah, Im learning the whole concerto and almost finished. This concerto really drives me crazy, haha...

[NagualElias]

it is rumored some pianists go mad learning rachmaninoff haha

[biokemiker]

Haha.... I believe that! I have only some pages left I need to practice and I already gone mad haha haha...

[harryg94]

Lol! Sounds much better on a grand (if only for the quality...) be sure to upload the concerto when you're finished! I'd love to hear it.

[hrspwr69fstbck]

Excellent. Are you going to post it on YouTube? If so can you get a view of the left hand going spastic towards the end of the final movement after the silencing beat of the drums? Every version I've watched the stupid editor of the video changes the camera angle at this point and prefers either the piano from underneath or the orchestra or something but never captures the stress of the pianist going crazy and the full intensity as the music builds. Good performance.

[s0larb01]

Great Job! How long did it take you to learn most of the concerto?

[biokemiker]

It took me around 1 year to learn the whole concerto. But I really need to refresh it before I can play it well again :)

[s0larb01]

How many hours did you practice everyday to learn it in 1 year? (I'm asking this b/c I just got the music and am trying to learn the whole concerto. :P)thx

[biokemiker]

Usually I practised 2 hours 5 days a week (because the music school was closed on weekends). But sometimes when I was free, I practised up to 6 hours.

[slicejl152]

nice playing :)

[nico22059]

Trully amazing! Congratulations! Keep your good work up!

[Rachmanfan4life]

I believe your technique this 2nd time has improved in that you are more precise, and your stronger layer of command really lets more depth shine through. You should be playing the entire concerto with this much conviction (if not already). Only 1 complaint, the sound quality is not very good here and I don't think its the piano. Lots of static like reverberations. Any ideas?

[biokemiker]

Thanks so much for your comment. Im trying to learn the entire concerto, but it takes time before I can play it haha...I think the sound quality was not to good this time because there were some workmen just next were I lived haha...

[christian6657]

Amazing!
