There's something about Rachmaninoff's playing that makes the music seem much more alive.

what do you think??

the title say:"Rachmaninoff plays Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini"

it's rachmaninoff himself playin

This is an authoritative recording by the composer, Rachmaninoff. A great pianist and interpreter of his own work.

I would like to recommend another recording by pianist Mieczyslaw Munz that has been released on Americus Records: "The Art of Mieczyslaw Munz". It was recorded live in concert in 1941. Rachmaninoff has been quoted as saying that he thought Munz performed his Rhapsody better than he did. All I can say is that I find Munz's performance to be absolutely amazing and deeply beautiful.

I find it sad that the first part has 536 thousand views, the second has 51 thousand, and this one has a mere 18 thousand... People just don't seem to have the patience to listen to these amazing works any more...

Listening to Rachmaninoff play this is like listening to it for the first time. Brilliant.

which number is it that starts at ~4:03?

They're all stunning, obviously. Such subtlety and perversion and passion :D

You must hear the performance of this masterwork by the pianist Mieczyslaw Munz.

I love that ending..... the piano has the last word....... xD

My hands are almost as big as his, and I could never play nearly that well.

All I have to say is that Rachmaninoff is awesome. Both as a composer and pianist. He is one reason I still take piano lessons.
