    OSSIA!!!

  • you are so wrong. Rachmaninov could certainly play his own concerti, and quite well. The recordings are all available for you to listen to.

  • WOW! The ending was amazing!

  • The ending interpretation was absolutely at its finest.. Really showed the hardships of the chords.. Wasn't rushed and was beautifully played

  • 客席にタモリが!

  • Amazing!

  • Beiçola.

  • Heroic performance.

  • Sokolov is one the greatest musicians of all times. He's the Dostoyevsky of the piano. The music is life and death to him. His clarity and use of time in phrasing is so amazingly beautiful and powerful.

  • funny how everyone is clueless about the ossia. OMG HES DOING IT WRONG LOLOLOL

    as for the huge slow-down at 4:30 -- that's how a Rachmaninoff climax is supposed to be done --slow, wallowing, and HUGE. i for one, loved it. Especially the ascent to the high C at 5:13ish...so much powerful than other rushed interpretations

    

  • Man that was astonishing! THE GUY iS A BONA FIDE GENIUS!! BRAVO SOKOLOV!

  • @Opoczynski First of all I think you mean at 5:48. Secondly, I have the partiture of this concerto and it gives me two alternative ways to play this part (Only triplets or quadruplets and then triplets). I consider that it depends on the pianist's choice.
