que en Paz descanse. tuvo artritis y lo superó y siguio tocando después de intervención quirúrgica.

One of classical music's most overlooked - and forgotten- concert pianists. His playing of Rachmaninoff's concerti are astounding. His playing Rachmaninoff concerto #2 is without rival.

Benditas. Manos. Catalina. Desde . Madrid. Besos

4:08 Why miss the next, certain part of the movement?

Imagine, if the piano was never invented…

I was fortunate to have heard Byron Janis years ago in of all places Anchorage Alaska. Here was a musician who could perform anywhere and was of course in high demand. And yet he chose to perform there. I’ve never heard an artist perform like this since. And I’ve never heard Rachmaninoff the same since. Truly fortunate.

SUBLIME....Rachmaninoff at its very best...BRILLIANTLY PLAYED😊Mr.Janis had recently transitioned...we are indeed blessed to have such Videos of his amazing Inspirational Performances....

Sadly, I just heard of him after his death. RIP

RIP Maestro

Why didn't we hear more of his career? This performance is as good as it gets.

RIP to one of the greats

....the Orchestra.. which?... who is conducting????😮

And......more lyrical ...unaffected than his mentor😊 and ...n o less😮 pianistically awesome...devilish 😊

Gorgeous...authentic...Horowitz' greatest protégé 😊

❤

One of the best interpretations of Rachmaninoff. Janis remains in that cadre of greats, along with Horowitz and Bronfman. Only Trifonov surpasses Janis. Bur I still think Janis was at his best when playing the Rachmaninoff #2 . I still listen to his playing this most manic and soul searching concerto. Bravo Byron Janis.

Superb!

Phenomenal technique. Amazing.

To this day I've never heard any pianist who seems to say more with this piece than Byron Janis could.

So he played this with arthritis… wow!

Thank you so much for sharing the clip. Please keep this forever.. I don't know how many times I visited here and was always touched and healed.. His is such a precious soul with amazing techniques and his version of Rachmaninoff is a milestone for me like photos by Alfred Stieglitz.. I wish I could pay a visit to meet Byron Janis himself ..

Vraiment incroyable. Merci. merci, merci 🤩

I did not except that at all at 9:27 interesting way of playing that measure(s)

I AM SURPRISED NOBODY MENTIONED THE JANIS VERSION WITH DORATI. I ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED INTO IT AT MY HALL OF RESIDENCE MUSIC LIBRARY BACK IN 1978 : I COULD NOT TOP PLAYING IT!!!

impeccable talented

My goodness, sounds JUST like Horowitz!! Wow, what a master pianist.

Es el yerno de Gary cooper?

YASSSSSS

Admirable, inspirant, magnifique artiste et pianiste. Une ode à la joie et à la vie malgré la maladie. Bravissimo.

This stunning performance is available on the DVD series entitled 'Bell Telephone Hour'. Byron Janis will never be surpassed and is very rarely equalled in this repertoire.

i came across this wonderfully talented man many years ago and have seen many different pianist play these beautiful concertos ,but this man has rachmaninoff blood running through his veins and should have had greater recognition

Excelente versión, interpretado a la forma antigua como lo harían los grandes artistas de la época

:(

9:30 is different from all other pianists. But not better.

The part where the piu mosso starts at 1:25 is really amazing, i've never seen someone play it so well accented. No rushing or bluffing, but this man shows real dedication here! 0:37 - This is how you Glissando :)

Not a pianist myself, but lucky enough to have purchased his Rachmaninov #1 and Prokofiev Concerto 3 with Kondrashin and the Moscow Phil. One of my first recordings, and one of the best of all time. Only Rachmininov himself plays it better, and only Richter comes a close 3rd. Recorded in June 1962, in Moscow. Great recoding on Mercury records.

Byron Janis is alive today and in his 80's. He suffers from psoriatic arthritis which put a damper on his career. I wish there were more video recordings on u-tube of his performances.

Music reviewer for Boston Globe, possessed of 40+ recordings of the Rach III, put Janis' collaboration with Munch & Boston Sym O at the top of the list, with Horowitz 2nd. It's glorious, hair rasiing, goose pimple raising. Getting to see the Great One here, those legendary fingers ... what a treat ... thanx so much.

The best at Rach 3 in my opinion, with Van Cliburn and Martha Argerich.

It looked as though he's trying to accommodate his playing to the orchestra as he's looking frequently at the conductor who barely looked in his direction in return. Shouldn't this be the other way around?

Sheer magic , drama and excitement, unparralleled!!!

Very good but I find the Studio version by Janis-Munch sounds much better.

Myrto, Other pianists have performed 3 or more concerti in one night. At his 1900 Berlin debut concert Godowsky performed the Emperor, the Tchaikovsky 1st, and the Brahms 2nd! And Jeanne Marie Darre perfomed all 5 Saint-Saens conecerti in a single concert! Dmitri Bashkirov has also performed 3 piano concerti several times in his career, and quite a few pianists who performed complete Beethoven PC cycles split them 1,2,3 during the first night, and 4,5 during the second.

Phew ! I am not a big fan of this concerto but... still.... that was breathtaking playing to put it mildly.

wonderful.... never saw him filmed before only discs. tahnks for sharing!!!

He had to shift a few times in his seat...I take it that it's a little difficult. It's a flashypiece but doesn't have the exquisite beauty of the 2nd concerto. Of course, I'll take it along with a Bentley 300 S Sports Coupe - red, white, or black, would be better than the beige - but I'll settle for the beige. I'm easy to please.

Brilliant artist--one of the finest of the 20th century.

If this was the 60s, he would not have had arthritis yet, but--- at the age of 10, he severely cut the little finger of his left hand, and it went, and stayed, completely numb.

Tension I don't see. Intensity, yes, but you simply can't play this work so fast and so cleanly with tension.

Where could I find the whole concerto please?
