This piece in a weird way reminds me of a Granados work I used to play as a kid. I think it's called Spanish Dance - somehow the LH is very similar to that work. Anyone else hear this or am I going mad? (It's ok to say the latter :)

[MelechBenArieh]

This is intense. His interpretation is the truly closest to the spirit of Rachmaninoff.

[TheHanslick]

Here I would just like to remind another great

performance by the late Alexei Sultanov at the

Van Cliburn competition. He may be even more passionate than Lugansky (who is great by any means). It is probably because Sultanov recording is live and

moreover a competition performance.

to PavelPlayPiano: My Russian isn't perfect but I think you said that this recording is better than Pletnev's. If so, I agree! Lugansky truly understands the essence of Rachmaninoff's passionate lyricism and long phrasing. I love 2:51!! It's like the etude's own cadenza. Lugansky brings out the melody with sensitivity to all aspects of the music: harmony, rhythm, phrasing, voicing(s), etc......A big mistake many pianists make with this piece is too much pedal. Not the case here! thanks!!

[Pavelplaypiano777]

No, I think Pletnev is better than Lugansky and many others pianists. Listen CD Pletnev in Carnegie hall !!!

[cattleman6420012000]

This is fantastic playing.

[Pavelplaypiano777]

Мне кажется, самая лучшая всё таки у Плетнёва!

[raufkasimov]

Прослушал все!версии этого этюда.Думаю,что у Николая самая совершенная!

[missnimblefoot]

This is the best version i've ever heard of this piece!! Nicolai Lugansky is a phenomenal pianist!

[MisterJSF]

J'ai déjà eu la chance d'entendre Lugansky en concert et je pense que c'est l'un des meilleurs pianistes actuel pour ce genre de musique (post romantisme virtuose).

Formidable version comparée à la plupart de ce que l'on peut entendre sur YouTube...
