Congratulations, you played it very well, almost better than Lisitsa! I wish I'd be good like you! I really love the way you play sforzatos: that's the way, I think, they are meant to be played.
A bit slow but I understand that this piece is technically difficult.. Try add a accellerando when you do those chromatic scale etc at the start and where ever else they are found throughout the piece (I don't know the name for them lol)
Wow awesome! I'm learning this too, and I'm looking around for different renditions of this (especially when there's the tempo drop, where to speed up and how much). I really like how your playing the fast chord section, very clear!
The recording is poor, it's true, but he's drawing too much attention to the technical difficulties of the piece. Compare with Rachmaninoff's own recording and you'll notice the difference, I think.
i played this when i was 15, and it was ridiculously difficult. you play it very well, definitely better than i did! i think it could've had a little more of the frantic desperation that goes with the story behind the piece, but it takes a heck of a lot of talent to play it this well, so great job!!
no feeling bro :( skill but no heart felt :(

It's good to be able to play without the pedal, but sometimes it sounds a little dry. Get this beauty a little wet and you'll thank yourself.

You play pretty well, but adjust the pedaling

Or then recording is poor. Better mike would be good.

Extremely impressive playing for a boy of 17, but does not really capture the spirit of this piece.
