The Op. 39 set of Études-Tableaux, written between 1916 and 1917 and published in 1917, was the last substantial composition written by Rachmaninoff in Russia. It shows a marked departure from his previous work. Rachmaninoff listened keenly to his contemporaries Scriabin and Sergei Prokofiev, and studied Scriabin's works to prepare a memorial recital in Scriabin's honor. Though he was roundly criticized for his overly-analytical approach in his playing and failure to capture Scriabin's style, the first seeds of composition had been planted.
The ending of this etude is so badass
I love this piece and it amazes me just how differently this sounds when played by the master himself. By other hands it most often sounds like a completely different piece to me. Quite remarkable and such an important document on how this man interpreted his own writings. If you do not have this Decca 1979 Rachmaninov playing Rachmaninov recording i strongly recommend it.
Simply, the greatest artist since Liszt.
When I hear this master play, it is not the notes I hear, but only the feeling, the mood.
How was Liszt's playing?
@@thepianocornertpc Incredible, by all accounts. No one today can really say with any accuracy, especially the style.
@@cynic150 What exactly did you hear him play? His own works? maybe some stravinsky or Bartok?
@@thepianocornertpc Everything on record.
@@cynic150 For example? Enlighten me please.
Never heard of a better interpretation.
Astonishing playing. You could tell he really loved this one
Cause it sounds just familiar for him. These are such Russian motives in this peace.
Rachmaninof grande come tutti i musicisti russi!Uno dei miei compositori preferiti!
It's refreshing hearing a pianist who is interested in expressing only the music itself. Most of today's pianists don't seem to realize that what the audience hears from them is not what they intended the audience to hear, but the intention itself, which, in most cases, totally degrades the music and reveals that the pianists don't really understand what they are playing.
I think this is the Decca 1978 recording on an Estonia concert grand with an Ampico system added. Rachmaninov made quite a few Ampico rolls in the 20’s the Etude Tableau in B min being one of them. Just an excellent performance and a real historical insight into Rachmaninov’s playing.
During WW2 servicemen were allowed to attend concerts for a token price. My dad saw Rachmaninoff's last public concert in Knoxville and talked about it often. I recently saw the program and was blown away, especially compared to modern programs: It included:
English Suite A Minor (Bach)
Les Papillons (Schuman)
Sonata 2 - Chopin
B Min, A Min Etude Tableaux
E Maj, E min Etudes - Chopin
Magic Fire, Spinning Song - Wagner
Un Sospiro, Dance of the Gnomes
Two Liszt transcendental etudes
Plus two unnamed encores
He performed despite the pain experienced from the cancer that took his life a month later. Knoxville dedicated a 12' statue ("The Last Concert") of him in 2003.
FYI those aren’t transcendental etudes of Liszt
@@therealtruetwelfth798 "Lizst transcendental etudes" should be a separate line. The copying screwed up.
The beginning of this piece is my cellphone ring now😋
Have just been comparing with performances by Richter, Ashkenazy, Lugansky, etc. " Good old Sergey" beats them all by far!... He's just perfect!... Shared on Google+
It says 'Allegro assai' on the score, you know.
@@am3456 well its an etude so theres are pretty free form
Stunning performance!... Thanks for upload. Where and how was this recorded? Was this taken from a piano roll? Shared on Google+
久しぶりに聴く有難う🍀
Imprescindibile ascolto per chi si accinge a suonare questo capolavoro.
Абсолютный Гений!!!!!!!
I love so many composers. Chopin, Liszt, Beethoven and on and on. Rachmaninoff has an indescribable place in my soul. I wish so many performances would honour his music as he saw it, not as sentimental excesses, in poor taste.
That's a monster technique you have!!
This piece is my favourite. And my Teacher gave me it. I Love all piano works by Rachmaninov. I will be Second Rachmaninov. And I Believe in myself. One day I will give my own conserts. I'll invite You too
I wish you'll be yourself, not the second or the third Rach, because He is unique, as well as you. Good luck, dear😊
Good luck! Remember to practice 8 hours a day and have 13th span hands 👍🏻😃
Is there a recording or paper roll in existence of Rachmaninoff playing Etude Tableau Op. 39 No. 5 in E flat?! I've been looking in earnest for it and come up with ZERO! :-(
unfortunately not. He recorded a lot, but sadly not 39/5.
Ditto. That's one of the most heavyset of the Etudes Tableaux and one I had the opportunity of studying. So sad Rach didn't record one of the most Rach-sounding of his etudes.
I have a good news for you, although there is no recording from SR of O.p 39 n°5.
There is this version that will give you an idea of how SR would have played it.. I even feel that SR would not have played it with such fire, and I am a huuuggggeeee fan of SR.....Enjoy ! ua-cam.com/video/sUfqv-G9QCM/v-deo.html
bruno sorry, Bruno. Wrong notes in the first 30 seconds, uneven rhythms and note values, and far too much pedal.
You mean E flat minor! I have not found his recording of this either. It is one of my favourites, too. He only recorded a selection of his short works, as far as I know. There is one by Horowitz. Probably one of the nearest you will find. But I don't really like it. Too exaggerated for my taste. Ashkenazy is very good at this composer, I think.
it has good quality for somthing played so long ago, are you shure this is Rachmaninoff playing?
Yes, Look at the website senar.ru , this is official page.
@@vazgenaraqelyan2782i can't read Russian
@@Villem- It's a piano roll. The piano roll was put inside a mechanical piano for it to reproduce Rachmaninoff's playing in modern times, and the result was recorded.
Sounds like the Rach was influenced by Bach
Yep
Well I think most composers after Bach were influenced by him in some way or another
@@sweetfangs1979 true
Who is the guy in the white suit with his arm around Rachmaninoff?
Fyodor Shalyapin!
+Maria Anikina Thanks. That's been driving me crazy for ages.
+Spock Johnson you are welcome ! :)
haha
Rachmaninoff and the great opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin became very good friends when Rach conducted the Bolshoi orchestra before the Russian Revolution. They remained close throughout their lives.
Quality of this recording is to good for Rachmaninoffs play
Piano roll
This recording is too clear sounding to come from the 30's or 40's. This is probably Sviatoslav Richter's recording
You're right, this is not Rachmaninoff's recording, an Ampico piano roll from 1928 in which, even after digitisation, the sound is more muffled than here.There are few dynamic contrasts and it ends at a much faster tempo than it begins. Rach's takes about 3'32" whereas this recording takes c. 10 seconds more than that.
I was thinking it might be a piano roll, then reproduced on a modern piano with nice mics, etc...?
Agree. It's not Rachmaninoff.
Definitely not richter, sounds nothing like him. It’s Rachmaninov
@@joeyblogsy It's Rachmaninoff, from Telarc CD "A Window in Time", which - simplified - contains reconstructions based on piano rolls and played by a computer-controlled Bösendorfer . Link: ua-cam.com/play/PLB-I9OuM1xrsXw2u-z9eDpbkKITO9Jn-i.html
It's not Rachmaninoff! Stop doing such things where lie can bring incorrect undestanding of culture!
But, I'm sorry, who is this?
@@user-sp1te9mv7d я не знаю, но точно не Рахманинов. Поищите записи, там не только качество звука, там манера другая. Только не на этом канале ищите. Через 100 лет похоже уже люди окончательно запутаются, где был Рахманинов, а где нет.
@@Moptohor, главное, что он был...
@@user-sp1te9mv7d Ну уж, надеюсь, не забудут про такого.
Lovely to be able to hear this. But are you seriously asking for people to pay you for uploading tracks from your own CD's? At the very least, wouldn't be polite to credit the performer?
The performer is Rachmaninoff...
It says it
Many of Rach's recordings have been remastered. Rachmaninoff playing, beautiful!
