The atmosphere that Rachmaninoff creates here is absolutely stunning. With the slow part, almost like a March in the right hand, and arpeggios in the left hand, it creates a wonderful sound. Also the harmonies he employed there are amazing. I don’t know how to describe the b section, other than incredible. But I never found a performance I likes, until I stumbled upon this performance. Beautiful.
Try Irina Lankova. Many like myself consider her performance to be the best. m.ua-cam.com/video/Wx3ZTAQ6boo/v-deo.html&pp=ygUUaXJpbmEgbGFua292YSBlbGVnaWU%3D
This elegy by Rachmaninov is as beautiful as it is sad. She seems to be talking about the heartache of a man who has lost everything. This is especially true at the end. It's an ending that rolls head over heels down the mountain to the ground - heartbreaking, furious and bitter. You can’t help but imagine how during it a person throws his hands up and screams of pain and suffering, falling to his knees and crying. A very touching tune.
As far as I know, Rachmaninov's sadness was from what was happening to Russia. Then after he moved to America his sadness was being homesick for his country Russia.
Commenting again after one whole year. I have listened to this so many times. This is the video and piece that introduced me into Rachmaninoff. This has gotten me through so many hard times. Bravo, once more
Welcome to the realm of Rachmaninoff. In fact this piece is heavily inspired by Chopin's nocturne op. 72 no. 1. Pretty sure you will like this elegie too.
I've been playing a LOT of Chopin lately, but I know at least one Rachmaninoff piece (his prelude in C# minor, because that one surely caught my attention lol), and this one might be another one on my list to learn!

Your left hand fingering is wild. You could go 5-2-1-3 on most measures and make your life a million times easier. You kind of do it sometimes but this is all over the place man.
This piece is under rated

Listen to Rachmaninoff himself play it

@@watutman THIS IS TYPICAL SLAVE BEHAVIOR (OR FEELINGS)! COMPLEX PEOPLE...
that's a nice interpretation, but i don't think it's what the piece or the composer himself is portraying
Certainly, @@Capnight1fr. I just shared with you the picture that appears in my head when listening to this composition
It is so beautiful... It reminds me some Chopin somehow... Although the atmosphere is clearly Rachmaninoff. Wow

Happily discovered this channel by accident. It definitely deserves more love.
rachmaninoff never fails, this is gorgeous!
I am a Chopin only pianist, but I might learn this after finding this 🔥 new sub here bro

I'm big into rach
@@ichiroogami8484 that's why I love this Elegie so much then. Chopin's op.72 no 1 is my favorite nocturne. they are both wonderful

Why Chopin only??
아침에 듣는 감미로운 클래식 노래... 나는 살아있음을 느낀다..
Thank you for posting this. Just discovered this amazing piece from Rachmaninoff. This it he best synthesia-like recording out there.
only 200 subscribers?!?! You deserve way more. Also, that was a very good performance of Rachmaninoff
Прекрасное исполнение!
Those leaps and stretches in the left hands terrify me....
Best tempo for this. Really good
I disagree, i think that he plays it too aggressively and too fast
@@ghalielouahdani615 i have since also changed my oppinion
