  • The very presence of favorable commentary on such members of the canaille as Lady Gaga on a post of Rachmaninoff's playing is not merely offensive, but an indication of the rabble's increasingly degraded sense of taste. It's not enough for them to go deaf blasting that bilge for all the world to listen to , they simply have to seek to elbow their way into the forums of those who love and value the works of the great composers. Must Rachmaninoff share the stage with queens and junkies?

  • @VyvienneEaux

    It was exactly my point - claiming that Jimmy Hendrix (superb gitarist) would somehow "beat them all" is somewhat funny! There is no need to compare Hendrix with Rachmaninoff or Gaga with Callas.

    To be completely honest - Hendrix was an extraordinary virtuoso and I can understand people who admire him. As for Lady Gaga singing... I leave the judgement to you...

  • i love him.. and love his music... but i dont know why... correct me if i'm wrong, i heard the octaves rhythms kinda weird, more like russian styled music. but anyway, i still likes his interpretation... nice

  • Rach plays extremely well!

    But why is there some places saying he was not a good player and went to composin

  • @jjp009 It ties the fast section to the slow section, listen around 1:39. Once you hear it, you hear him doing it everywhere in the piece. Genius.

  • the best part is from 5:56 to the end :)

  • @Noshirm cutting rebuttal

  • @HTMHicks Scram, you troll.

  • @Noshirm you might want to be hesitant to call the majority of the world "rabble" or "canaille". Reactionary opinions have never stood the test of time.

  • Perfect! Magical! Thank you.

  • yep, this IS Rachmaninoff, I recognize the rhythmic 'snap' in the octave section.
