  • Most brilliant rendition of this I have ever heard. Even moreso than Pogorelich's version.

  • Absolutely fantastic! What a perfect insight into Rachmaninov's own music. I'm very fond of both composers; it's wonderful that we have this recording.

  • @newFranzFerencLiszt I think Rach is the greatest ever as both pianist and composer. However, it would have been great if both Liszt and Chopin were recorded, unfortunately that didn't happen, a huge loss. But still we have Rach's recordings and those are a treasure for mankind :-))

  • @Bret6464 Of course, because most Russians who could afford a piano were part of the bourgeoisie.

  • @newFranzFerencLiszt I think he's equally great in both aspect

  • I do think he was better as pianist than a composer

  • Our great master is simple and sophisticated. Beautiful.

  • Sometimes I want to commit a suicide because I'll never be able to gain even 10 % of Rachmaninov's geniality, technique and sophisticated musical thought. Rachmaninov, what have you done to me?!

  • @Bret6464 You should read the previous comments. We have already discussed this.

  • @1975dze Since Rachmaninoff - and Horowitz, Moiseiwitsch, Heifetz, many others - escaped the USSR and moved to New York, stating that any connection exists between Rach and the Soviets is absurb. Why even bring the USSR into any discussion of Rachmaninoff?

  • @uhartchristian Yeah, you are right, sorry my mistake. Thanks to Russia, then. The USSR did not deny Russian heritage completely though. Lenin was quite a fan of Pushkin as far as I know :)
