  • É um orgulho para mim ser conterrâneo deste monstro do piano. Assim como ele, também sou mineiro de Boa Esperança.

  • Ele realmente eh inacreditavel

  • Nelson Freire is a great musician, a great poet of the piano and supporting all that he is a great pianist. He should be an international cult figure as Rubinstein or Horowitz were. Have you heard him play Rachmaninov's 4th concerto? Up there with Rach himself and Michelangeli. What a beautiful sound Freire gets from the piano and such clarity of texture. The BBC critics voted his Chopin Sonata 2 the best on record. Freire is one of THE GREAT PIANISTS. This Rach 3 is beautiful.

  • This video made a big impression on me. I would suggest that music lovers and students listen to this excerpt over and again. It is a lesson on how to play Rachmaninoff as it should be (but seldom is). Mr Freire plays with sobriety. There is no affectation. And yet it is so beautiful. Other versions sound corny in comparison, including Ms Argerich's.

  • Nelson freire toca muito, mas o melhor momento deste video é o black power da mina em 2:55.....

  • Wow...that cadenza was awesome. So much freedom! There really is no piano duo imaginable more fitting than Freire/Argerich.

  • ELE É UM ABSURDO!!!E É NOSSO!! É DO BRASIL!!!

  • This is GREAT!

    Nelson is one of the greats

  • ...genial.

  • Yes, Argerich plays with no expression! However, Horowitz, Robert Silverman, and of course, Rachmaninov himself made great recordings of this piece.
