  • Wow his genius is absolutely incredible, he played it extra fast because he knew in 60 years youtube videos would have a limit of 10 mins so he made it fit just right, with an extra second just to catch a quick breath from such a breathtaking performance.

  • What do you mean wrong notes? Not when the composer is the pianist. They are just revisions that did not make the printing deadline,

  • If I were asked to single out one composition as my favorite piece of music, it would probably be this. Adjectives I would use to describe this concerto include "epic", "heroic", and "triumphant". You may sit and listen to it, but really, it's a journey.

  • Spechless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rachmaninoff plays this with so much heart and soul that he makes it seem so easy, but when I looked at the sheet music (!) WHOA!! Nearly fell off the chair! Thats the brilliancy of Sergei, hats off to Rachmaninoff

  • @aspacguy1 I quite agree. You can't play a song better than the composer.

  • @TJFNYC212 Dude, get outside more. YT "conversations" are so petty.

  • @mmoynan Then I will take it that your comment is totally subjective, a personal opinion not based on any musical principles. That is valid enough. I might point out in passing that the expression is to "pale in comparison." 

  • @TJFNYC212 Buddy I'm not wasting my time making you a spreadsheet on my opinion. The sentence is informative enough: other interpretations pale into comparison.

  • I can hear the elephants beginning at 7:50 :) wow!
