    This is the most beautiful gift a guy can do to a girl the day of her birthday.
    And this guy is just amazing... I mean, he's improvizing !!!! Listen carefully to the sound, perfect, clean and warm at the same time. So young, such an artist.

      @@null8295 because most people are narcissists! Generation Z is destroying all beauty. They want to "save" the world with their bio vegan super ethical ideas, but they do not care about people! That is why... and:
      I am forced to play junk minimalism in order to get interest people, even though I am the greatest Schumann interpreter today. No, Deutsche Gramophon, SONY and decca don't care because I am not a slut, clown or supernatural performer...
      I am in hospital, as I was attacked by a macho gorilla brainless asshole. I will never be the same, no I will be worse and fight for my existence as true Romantic!
      Belgian TV did a report on me, but when I watched the result, they focussed on my bipolarity and not my piano talent neither the spiritual meetings and lessons I had with Robert Schumann, fuck them!
      And as for Elena... well she thinks she's a great pianist, but she refuses to learn from me. It could have changed her life... being able to play with absolute intensity and play every piece as if it were composed with yourself.
      Fortunately I have 1 student to be proud of -Sehun Kim. An extreme evolution in pianism and humanity. Voila, enough said. Adieu

    Rachmaninoff's musical language is in my view the pinnacle of music. And you speak it with such ease and perfection. A skill I can only aspire to for the distant future. Well done!

  • @BjornHegstad

    Considering that Rachmaninoff's style is quite hard to improvise in, with its intricate technical passages and advanced harmonics, we all ought to be impressed by this.

      Hey there, thanks a lot. This is already an old impro and I was not able yet to project the true style and soul of Rachmaninoff. Now years later I feel a true connection with Sergey. I have recorded only the Elegie from Rachamninoff here on my channel. Also check out my Rach impro on White Christmas. Greetings from Belgium

    If every young man improvised for me with passages like 4:41-4:44, I would date them even though I am a young man, too, ha-ha.
    I have been heavily thinking on making a Scriabin-style impromptu. Your recording just spurred me and gave another incentive to work harder.
    P.S. There is few Rachmaninov in your opus. Just late Romanticism: Alkan, Blumenfeld, Chopin, Debussy, Eckhardt-Gramatté... Damn, I messed with the alphabet but could do nothing to prevent it!..
