This is a magnificent performance. Having learned a few things about this piece and Rachmaninoff in general, I must compliment your ability to not get lost in the piece's intrinsic musical beauty, but keep your performance steady, both in timing and dynamics. I would encourage you to seek out better means of recording the sound, however. Aside from that, this performance goes above and beyond my typical expectations for YouTube classical piano performances. Bravissimo.

Awesome!! Played with great feeling and expertise.

Precisely because she's young and obviously talented she must be said that showing off can be nice to make dilettanti open their mouths and probably to flirt, but it does little for music. Rachmanninof's marking for the part beginning at 4:19 is "Andantino con moto", and some editions even have the metronom tempo: one beat = 84. She plays that part at least 50% faster, and it sounds deplorable.

Anyway, she's young and, hopefully, she'll learn because she's talented, as already said.

Quite nice but an ugly etude at the end. dimitri alexeiv performed it much, much better.

Very beautiful piece and a quite nice performance in my opinion. The sound recording could be better; that's the reason why I haven't given this a five stars rating.

The first 4,5 minutes were quite nice, but after that it simply became and etude - that's disgusting and without taste. We don't want this piece to show how fast pianists can play.

beautifully executed...I was thoroughly impressed
