That Rach etude is certainly a gold medal performance
I was so thrilled when this conversation was announced last week. As a pianist I’ve probably spent more time thinking about/delving into these etudes than all the rest of my repertoire combined. I’ve come to the understanding that these etudes constitute a “third testament” of classical music (in the framework where Bach’s WTC is referred to as the Old Testament and Beethoven’s sonatas are referred to as the New Testament). It’s a lot harder to find insightful literature - whether academic articles, forum discussions, master classes, or expert talks - about these etudes than it should be, considering their musical value; it’s so wonderful that this conversation, which really does cover all the bases, is now part of the permanent record and so widely accessible.

Wonderful! Please do more of these ‘deep dive’ sessions!
This was awesome, thank you so much!
Extraordinary! Thanks for streaming this. So beautifully played… love all the comments in between pieces. Many thanks from New Zealand!
Nice video! Kobrin is a great performer of Scriabin, looking forward to a video discussing him!
Murray perahia’s op 39 no 5 is sublime. The pp section!
Great content, as always.
Thanks a lot for the video! It was an absolutely amazing journey through all Rachmaninoff's etudes! Btw I always admire the fingering written by Rachmaninoff in op.39 no 3:)
Well this was perfectly timed, tomorrow I travel to Charlottesville to hear Alexander Malofeev play the Op. 33 set. I have been listening to it dozens of times in preparation and have grown to really like these etudes, more and more with each listen. Thanks for the outstanding presentation, tonebase!
What a wonderful tour and generous teaching from the Maestro. I’ve loved these Etudes since I was a young boy
Thank you so much for the excellent presentation ❤ love Russian piano poetry
I love these pieces. I've never been completely happy with a recording, but it's such a wonderful adventure discovering something new in each interpretation. If only I could just magically be the best pianist in all history so I could figure out exactly what the full potential is here. lol
I attended his concert in feb 23 in dallas Texas. He is a player beyond belief ❤❤❤❤
Just when I feel I couldn't possibly love Rachmaninoff even more...
I take my hat off to anyone who can play through these works at half speed, never mind interpret them.
still returning to this video monthly as im learning some of op. 30 :)
Informative, dry and technical discussion.
