  • what's name of music at 3:30?

  • @Necroman666 Hello ,

    From aprox 1:20 to aprox 4:20 is the final moments of the third and last movement of third piano concerto of Sergei Rachmaninoff.

    Thank you for listen!

  • Meh. He made two or three recordings of this concerto, each stiffer and less nuanced than the last.

  • @demosj Hi demosj. It seems that Mr. Weissenberg has recorded three times this concerto: with Pretre, Ozawa and Bernstein. I don't know in wich sequence. I've searched for the three but only found and bought the Pretre version in the album "Les introuvables de Alexis Weissenberg" and, for me, after Volodos-Levine version (ossia cadenza), this one (regular cadenza) is probably the most interesting i've heard, but I'm only a music lover :). Thanks for your comment!

  • Thank your for this post!! My favorite pianist. Do you know if this movie "I like music - Alexis Weissenberg" is available on DVD? or any tips on how to download it in full?

  • @tintin1788

    Thanks for your comment, tintin!

    It's true, it's no easy to find this docummentary (like other works of weissenberg :-( ) but you can try at "RSI Radiotelevisione Svizzera", Sales Office.

    I hope this can help you. BR!

see all

  • @demosj One of the more stupid things I have ever readed.

  • @ororbia thank you!

  • May your soul rest in peace Alexis Weissenberg.

  • What a legend. RIP.

    In this video the most impressive part to me is 4:06. He comes in too early and then saves himself with a perfect pause to re-sync with the orchestra. I can't even imagine how difficult that must be, especially during such a fast and climactic passage.

  • Почивай в мир!

  • Emil Tchakarov!! - Another sorely missed bulgarian artist...

  • R.I.P. You play now to God, Maestro!

  • He died yesterday!
