A criminally underrated achievement

criminally doesnt cut it
EXACTLY

Actually, not only a good arrangement that's an amazing interpretation.
Indeed
1000%
Too me there is no greater composer than Rachmaninoff. There will never be a more beautiful piece than his 2nd piano concerto!
I will change that soon! I'll be better than Rachmaninoff (just kidding)..
My thoughts exactly! On every word. Other composers are amazing but they don’t speak to my soul like Rachmaninoff. I’m almost 71 years old and started taking piano lessons again since Jr. High school age, at USU. I have immersed myself with playing Rachmaninoff. His piano concerto No. 2 is the most sublime and beautiful music ever composed. I love it!
ABSOLUTAMENTE DE ACUERDO...
I absolutely agree😂
My Ballade no 1?
OMG, I'm a senior now, been playing piano all my life, including professionally, but I cannot fathom how this masterpiece has been arranged for the solo piano. The pianist did a magnificent job of it beyond my wildest dreams!! Videos like these should be the ones to go viral, not some garbage contemporary music by some well-known artist of mediocre skills. I watched just about every note, and I'm left in amazement. I could only attempt to get this sheet music and begin to learn this incredible arrangement of my favorite piano concerto of all time. It would probably take me years, if I could even do this. BRAVO MAESTRO!!!!!!!!!!
The sheet music is available for free in the description of the video for each individual moment (all three of which are linked in the description of this video). I've just downloaded them all. It's been added straight to the list of pieces I'm going to attempt to tackle. (Just finished liebestraum no. 3, which was wonderful fun, and have also now started un sospiro, which is proving to be similarly enjoyable - then it's Italian polka (maybe - it seems like a different level of hard), and after that, it'll be this!). I can't wait to get working on it.
Menudo arreglo increíble y q interprete😮😮😮
There’s a two piano version on Scribd. I try to do my best with it :)
Your perspective on music, with its outdated and simplistic views, contributes to the limited popularity of classical music. Instead of appreciating the richness of classical compositions, you make condescending statements like, "Videos like these should be the ones to go viral, not some garbage contemporary music by some well-known artist of mediocre skills," which only serve to alienate people. It is possible to praise a pianist without demeaning others.
Personally, I am currently learning Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, but I also find enjoyment in listening to contemporary music. These two preferences can coexist harmoniously. I hope that, over time, you develop a more nuanced understanding and appreciation for music.
Me too
After doing some decidedly average movie and games cover explain to me how you randomly managed to write a masterpiece of a solo piano transcription of this concerto, then recorded a very solid performance of it on your cheap digital piano, and to top it off, published a very decent scoring of it for free?? That's one of the most impressive things I've seen on youtube
Yes. And all the praise is deserved.
The transcription isn't the hard part if you, at least, enjoy experimenting with composition and orchestration. The material is there, just choose what to add in and what to omit. Making it sound good, is a whole different story.
@@alanpotter8680how bout you transcribe this entire concerto in your own way before you start yapping
This is a moment I'll believe that a piano truly can be an orchestra on its own.
No but can we actually also appreciate how the pianist brought out the voices very clearly and beautifully :O Even ones I was not aware existed!
Absolutely 🥲
Full 30 minutes of rachmaninoff's art as a solo is extremely amazing! I hope you get more views and likes
listening this masterpiece made my life split in before and after , thanks LotusFlower
Thank you Sergi Rachmaninoff himself would be immensely grateful, proud and thankful for allowing pianists to play one or his greatest achievements of art without need of another instrument!!! BRAVO 👏 and thank you for a wonderful experience
Who are you, imposter
This is not only very well played, but an achievement of dizzying height. This is something I could dream of at best. I’ve played piano for years and have many very difficult pieces under my belt, but the size of this piece, the complex interpretation, I can only imagine how it feels to play. Like reading a whole book aloud. So many complexities I feel I might get lost in if I tried! BRAVO MAESTRO!! (Homage to a fellow pianists comment)
I absolutely love the analogy you used, 'Like reading a whole book aloud.' perfect way to describe this achievement and it sends shivers down my spine!
Well done ! Seems we can look forward to No. 3 lol
I can't imagine how much time you must've spent on this arrangement. My deepest respect, you have achieved something extraordinary. This is beyond words.
The fact that this is a digital piano being used to perform this is truly extraordinary, I want to know the make and model
His about section says Roland A-88
Rarely once in a while, I come across a monster. You blew me away. This accidental click led to your video and this blows me away. Geniuses are not conspicuous people. They are hidden. I am blessed to watch your genius. Thank you. I can go to bed happily. Tomorrow morning, I will watch this video and feel differently. I cannot wait. Thank you.
Your arrangements would make Rachmaninoff proud!
Please give this guy a grand piano for Xmas! So sad that he has to play such an awesome arrangement on such a limited, electrical piano. If you play this good, you deserve a real instrument with proper dynamics and sound 🙏🎅
This is a criminally underviewed arrangement and performance! Very nice control and voicing throughout the whole thing, and the third movement was hard enough on its own, but with this arrangement is now on par with at least some of the most difficult repertoire there is…
Actually half orchestra/half piano parts is way simpler than the full piano parts. Most of the orchestra parts are just chords.
I agree. It’s really sensational! I can’t play any of it
This is insane! I though it was impossible to combine the piano with the orchestra. Thank you so much for showing I was wrong
lol
The fact that the sheet music for this arrangement is free, not only an amazing pianist but a generous person. Thank you for this arrangement 🙏🙏
유튜브에서 이렇게 가슴이 벅차오르는 연주를 무료로 들을 수 있다니.. 세상이 참 좋아졌다...
진짜 너무 좋다..
I cannot thank you enough for this.❤ to play this without a band has been my dream when I first started to learn the piano when I was little😊😊 hopefully to see more concertos and other classical pieces from you! Your arrangements and playing has been an inspiration since the day I found your channel.❤❤
That was my dream too.😊 I am happy because you are happy. thank you!
it's surprising how the result is practically identical to the version with orchestra, really, it has nothing less

Best parts of the whole concerto.

YES!! THANK YOU
정말 다 좋은데... 22:15 여기서 눈물 못 참음...
Good morning from Birmingham uk - an astoundingly beautiful piece of music making, which, when Ive finished wiping my eyes and blowing my nose, prompts some questions: how long did it take you to prepare this performance (I think this is also a wonderful piece of video making - sound quality superb, black background ambiance matching the emotion of the music, and the hypnotically beautiful hands); there is a score I believe - how was this prepared? I would not question your identity since you may well want to protect it for safety reasons - I finish by saying 'thank you' and ' congtatulations.
I could write you a long, long comment about how incredible this performance is, but I will refrain so that I can get my main point across as best as possible. Hearing you play the second movement made tears stream down my face. Usually when listening to music that touches me so deeply, my eyes can only water at most, but you have made tears run down my cheeks, so much so that half of the tears I've shed this year have been by you, just now in the span of the last 30 minutes. And this year hasn't been even close to being an easy year for me. You have my utmost respect for such an incredible performance of this amazing piece.
Such a deep and soulful comment. 🙏
the piece is basically extremely hard i don’t even know how u arranged this so nicely oh my god
Taking on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 as a solo piano arrangement requires immense skill and understanding of the piece, and this performance absolutely delivers. The raw emotion and technical prowess showcased here beautifully encapsulate the essence of the original composition. It's both a tribute to Rachmaninoff's genius and a testament to the performer's outstanding talent. Truly captivating from start to finish!
" He had arms of steel and a heart of gold" , " So aristocratic were his musical thoughts that he a-nobled everything that he played "...That was wonderful and inspiring!
To my brother: “I implore you to hear this version of Rach 2 I discovered about a week ago, arranged for solo piano, whenever you’re in the mood and are free … I’ve been playing it out loud on my speakers walking around NYC as I’m doing now, shocking and delighting many people I think … it’s unequivocally the best version of the concerto I’ve ever heard … most of all because the way the concerto is expressed and executed, with equal weight to emotion and precision like a recording by Gould, but also LARGELY because of the quality of the sound recording and the piano … I have no doubt as an audiophile you will delight in the RICHNESS of the sound and just how hard that bass hits throughout the piece 😮💨 Never has the counterpoint of this concerto rang so clear 😭❤️ And at the same time, never has the emotion and intention of this work been so vividly, richly expressed … Rachmaninov himself would be shaking his head in approval … you know I’ve heard so many versions of this concerto and I say both of these statements without a doubt in my mind …. at every moment this recording captures what I believe Rachmaninov meant in his heart of hearts with this work”
Hello! I read your bio and you seem to be a fascinating individual. I'm studying political science myself still undergrad not too far from Johns Hopkins actually. You have great taste in music
This is the best arrangement since the big bang
This is so beautiful. I wish I had the skill to play it.
Thank you, Lotus Flower!
Oh my goodness. You've just created a masterpiece from a masterpiece! Hats off to you.
jesus! like being able to play this is another level but arranging this shit! Rach would be proud
Also, the second mvmt sounds absolutely breathtaking
Unbelievable achievement! I had no idea that Rach 2 could be arranged so wonderfully for solo piano.
I need a spotify version of this asap
👏👏👏👏👏 정말 멋진 연주에요! 오케스트라없이 피아노 솔로만으로 이렇게 아름답게 원곡 느낌 그대로 연주할 수 있다니요❤ ❤ 3악장까지 주~욱 들을수 있어서 너무 너무 좋아요! 감사합니다 🤗
its amazing how, althought there aren't any other instruments, you can hear the violins and all the other orchestral instuments in some parts... fantastic job
This is just so, so, so, so good. It really is. Astounding arrangement and playing that highlights everything we would want to be highlighted in the most impeccable manner. Thank you so much for giving us all this essential alternative interpretation of the most sublime piano concerto there will ever be.
Ir´s simply AMAZING, formidable, flawless arragenment, awesome, astonishing!!! The score please, where I can buy it!!!
22:00 I'm fucking crying like a baby, and it feels so good
Incredible. This is such a mesmerizing arrangement. This is fantastic to the point of tedium! Yet there's no way for me to be when I learn your arrangement. You deserve all the praise you receive.
Thank you for this. I still tear up when i hear the 2nd movement.i downloaded and will make every attempt to learn this,....the most beautiful work, masterfully done. This and Chopin's e minor concerto are the 2 most beautiful pieces of music ever written❤️
As close to a literal channeling of the master himself in what is no doubt the fullest version for the piano ever made. Jaw dropping inspiration.
0:00-36:38
Love this part of the video
Beautiful arrangement! I love that! ❤️
I'm subscribed now :D
This is a masterpiece.
I know this well!
This is crazy awesome!
Incredible, well done!
Brilliantly made!
So beautiful!
great transcription and great playing…
everything is great here
Amazing, will def try the 2nd movement
this is a unique treat, to hear and see the isolated piano of this iconic piece played with such beautiful emotion! Truly inspiring. Combining the orchestra with the piano in the finale of the 3rd movement was a perfect ending. I only wish the wonderful pianist stood up at the end and took a bow for us to see!
감동입니다! 두번이나 들었습니다.
Honestly wasnt expecting to watch the whole video but i just couldnt stop.
Very well played. Thank You.
Eu estou me perguntando por que o youtube nunca sugeriu este vídeo para mim, pois já ouvi e ouço tanto rachmaninoff e interpretação de pianistas e o concerto n2 é a minha composição preferida, realmente não entendo... O fato é que achei essa preciosidade sem sequer estar procurando, apenas apareceu, e surpreendentemente é um vídeo de 2022, realmente não tem como entender por que esse tesouro ficou tanto tempo escondido. Não tenho palavras para descrever a alegria que seu vídeo me trouxe, que talento, que interpretação, que arranjo magnífico, simplesmente parabéns, você realmente conseguiu fazer toda uma orquestra ser dispensável para sentir a plenitude dessa composição, parabéns, parabéns! Você vende esse arranjo? Tenho interesse em comprar! Obrigada por compartilhar seu talento e, mais uma vez, parabéns! Excelente! Bravo!
정말 직접 편곡하시고 연주 하셨다니 존경합니다. 저도 악보 받아서 연습해보겠습니다. 너무 멋져요!
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks so much for what must have been a considerable amount of work.
Fantastica! Thank you so much!!
great arrangement! you deserve a sub and many more!
Beautiful performance and arrangement! Bravo.
I will most definitely learn this thank you for the great arrangement !
Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing with us 🙌🏻😍
Il pianoforte è una grande orchestra formata da 88 elementi bianchi e neri❤
21:59 my fav part ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
Wow, this is brilliant! Great job!
One word - Awesome!
정말 최고의 연주예요👍🏻👍🏻
Really good work, insane voicing you have here.
An amazing interpretation!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fantastic. Spectacular. It’s an excitement to hear that. Thank you so much !
I cannot believed! So great!
Thank you!
I really want to thank you.
I'm currently learning the first mouvement ! 🎹
This is absolutely amazing.
Incredible work. I'm gonna go start practicing now. Thanks for this!
It took me a while to find a piano solo piece. You played so well. Loving it🎉
Any pianist who performs this piece and does not play the section between 21:00 and 23:47 with their heart beating out of their chest, fighting back tears, with the feeling of their soul being violently tugged out of their body and in the presence of The Most High God filling them mind, body and soul then they are just playing notes and not music. Master this small section and where you can take the listener to very gates of Heaven and you shall become a legendary artist who is a true miracle worker. There is no other music on earth past, present or future to rival it's ability to teleport me to the very Throne of Heaven.
2악장 나오고 3악장 너무너무 기다리고 있었는데 끝까지 완곡 해주셔서 감사합니다 흐어엉 ㅠㅜ
Big pleasure, Thank You
That's outstanding! Very good job!

You are such an incredible pianist!
A supreme work at highest level - absolutely amazing!
