Espetacular!! O senhor Lang Lang se supera a cada apresentação. Excelente!! O entrosamento com a orquestra está também inigualável. Sem sombra de dúvidas o registro de uma das melhores performances de todos os tempos. BRAVO!!! 👏👏👏👏
This is a wonderful Piano Concerto by the great Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) who had to leave his beloved Russia behind after the upheaval of the Revolution of 1917. All his music is so soulful, full of the Russian spirit. I also love his orchestral works and pieces such as the Midnight Vespers. One of my favourite composers and I think there are a few recordings of the great man himself recorded towards the end of his 70 year life. Lang Lang plays this beautifully I think, he really gets it. It is not a schmalzy performance at all. Thanks for posting this gem for us all to enjoy.
Lang Lang’s playing takes me to a higher place. A beautiful place where only music exists. There is so much feeling in every note. Brilliant in every way.
I am crying! I have never heard anyone play this piece so beautifully since Rachmaninov played it himself. His timing and sensitivity are breathtaking. The orchestra was superb.
This piece just makes me cry every single time i hear it… and Lang Lang’s interpetation torn my heart apart. I’m in tears. How the hell can people say Lang Lang isn’t a good interpreter? Please, go beyond your prejudices.
I am embarrassed to say that I am late to Rachmaninoff. But have practiced easier pieces. But stopped for a couple of years. Ready again. Maybe with a teacher. Thanks.
I find some of Lang Lang’s physical theatrics over the top, think that turns a lot of people off, but they are foolish to close their ears off to his brilliant and passionate sound.
This is my. Idea of heaven, Lang Lang and Sir Simon Rattle! Excellent., there are very good pianists around, but Lang’s interpretation is absolutely the best! I love this !! 👏👏👏❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It's nothing but breathtaking. Lang Lang, this orchestra, the conductor Mr. Rattle. I'm 26 and love Rachmaninoff since I could discover this incredible heritage by the movie 'Shine'. I was 21 back then and went to Sofia, Bulgaria, to live and work there in social work. 2016/17 was a special snowy and freezing cold winter. You can't imagine the feeling of listening to THIS and walking through the snowy pavements of Sofia, which can be very nostalgic and romantic on evenings. The architecture, the language, the evening restaurants, the huge boulevards. In other ocasions, such as during daytime, Sofia reminds one of much uglier realities of poverty, poor economy, abused surroundings and untreated pavements. But those can be found in every city, if searched. Yet I want to highlight the addictive experience of bulgarian style.
Hii, I'm Bulgarian, and I live in the UK, I'm happy you liked Sofia, I can only imagine what feeling it would have been to listen to this in the cold winter, and the emotions that this piece brings out.
i can't find another music that would help me go through anxiety, i can't find another piece of art that would heal me so much and give strength to just keep on
I have listened to this piece of music literally thousands of times since my father introduced me to it when I was very young. I've never heard it played like this though. Absolutely gorgeous.
@@suzyoung7844 Description is Lang Lang on the 19th of January 2015 in Berlin. And if he's in Berlin, there is only one orchestra it could be!!! Berlin Philharmonic of course.
That circle of fifths progression in the third movement at 30:24, I'd never heard anyone play the melody with octaves in the right hand like he did until that moment and it's one of the most beautiful sounds that has ever graced my ears.
Here's what most people miss about Lang Lang's performances:. He is a brilliant pianist And a transcendent ARTIST! He creates the magic that sends the music soaring!!
Well said! You can appreciate his touch and talent even more if you listen to other pianist perform this concerto. They’re all amazing in their own right but Lang Lang’s timing, his touch, his crescendos! He transcends his artistry and you can feel his emotions as he plays! Amazing! Ana Fedorova, in my opinion, is the closest I’ve seen to lang lang’s touch! Bravo!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Brilliant, magnificent, majestic - notwithstanding. In a few lone notes, Lang Lang can take us to the edge of the vast unknown beyond existence, in a realm of awe, beauty and humility.
Earlier, when I listened to Rachmaninoff's second concert, I was terribly angry that some of the audience coughed in the pauses. Only then did I realize that it was they who were struggling to hold back their tears and stifle their sobs. And it's not that the music is minor or depressive. On the contrary, it is like a May storm, cleanses the soul and causes tears of joy and delight.
I cannot tell you how many times I have listened to this magnificent performance. Such visceral beauty. Breathtaking. It evokes such passion and angst and longing in me, and always tears. Thank you Orchestra! THANK YOU Lang Lang!
We are all different. We can be the basis of their pragmatic, cynical, optimistic, pessimistic, anyone. But this music awakens in each of us a young romantic, open to spring and love.
Been listening to this concerto for 20 years and it has always rekindled my overwhelming awe for music and creative skill as well as centering me personally to the grand scheme of life. Those of you feeling personally attacked by the ads; maybe pay for content. UA-cam premium is not that expensive. I haven’t seen a UA-cam advert in years. The time saved alone is worth the dollars.
Indeed Indeed,well said but it would be better if they should this adds or before beginning or at the end of post It,s pitty for this remarkable interpretation!,
I read that Rachmaninoff got depressed when his concerto 1 failed and needed a psychiatrist to help his depression. this concerto 2 is for him to dedicate to this psychiatrist. George Wu, Architect, A.I.A., NCARB 2019-8-24
I have seen many great renditions of this concerto and Lang Lang's is my favorite. He truly understands how the melodic beauty of this piece should be delivered.
@@richardvolpe7664 No Richard they are not. It's all very subjective isnt it. All I said was that it was my favorite, not that it should be everyone else's.
Over sixty years ago this piece gave me great comfort for a lost unrequited love and has from time to time revisited my life. This rendition by Lang Lang has simply astounded me and made feel the true beauty of the music as expressed by him and Simon Rattle , my favourite Composer
I don’t think you’ve ever heard Rachmaninov and Rubinstein playing this, to remember just the first two names that gets in my mind. It’s not even the best of modern pianists interpretation.
In my opinion Lang Langs interpretation is very good. However my favorite is Kissins. It sound like every single note is important for the piece. For me, Lang Lang sometimes does too much rubato (However this is just my opinion).
@@toivonencresto That's really ridiculous because Martha Argerich did not even record this concerto, her Rach 3 is famous but she never gave a recording of Rach 2.
To elizabethmaemmann: You're smitten, to put it mildly, with this well-played (and VERY thoroughly acted out) performance, but do you have any idea, any idea at ALL, how many (perhaps close to a hundred) superb interpretations of this popular concerto have been offered to the public? Lang's performance being described as 'one of its kind' - - well, I'm not sure how to respond to such a remark, except to say that his wide selection of embarrassing 'faces' and physical 'gestures' can definitely deserve to be called 'one of a kind.' I would earnestly hope that after Lang's light begins to dim (and it will!), another such flamboyant, audience-obsessed pianist won't appear from the holy clouds above.
As a relative new comer to classical music, even I know WHO is the star of this performance. The audience knows, certainly the orchestra knows, even the conductor knows... would someone please tell the camera man!!! Just when Lang Lang is about to explode with some unbelievable magic we lose Lang Lang for s shot of the conductor!!! Everyone there knows Lang Lang is in command of the performance. The conductor does his work in rehearsal, ya he tics the boxes but it's Lang Lang who's in command. I want to see the magic, and that's Lang Lang. end
Absolutely beautiful. The pace that it should be played at and with such emotion. Shame about the coughers who seem to wait for the quiet parts to cough their lungs out!!
I couldn't agree more. When you hear younger pianists play this they tend to rush through it. This is played with a clear passion and understanding of the the majesty of the piece.
Rachmaninoff. What did this wonderful and talented person hear and see in his life That he could create such absolute beauty In sound That makes you want to 'Oh God' Almost weeping in ecstasy as each note caresses your ears and heart And as usual Lang Lang intensifies the sound In a way that Rachmaninoff would have always aimed for
Quels beaux moments vous nous offrez. La communion ou le dialogue entre l'orchestre et le soliste sont renversants. Merci de nous offrir tant de beauté. Clo
The first movement was just epic, it leaves me speechless. I know that some might be sensitive about clapping between movements, but I think for such a great piece with such a passionate ending, more importantly, the two movements are not really closely connected, the performers wouldn't mind some applause to acknowledge their efforts. Just personal opinion.
well when you are truly awed to the deep down of your soul, you forget to clap or remark or shout. you become frozen when you encounter absoluteness of something, be it beauty or cruelty. so greater respect through silence than clapping.
Best performance I have heard so far. Absolutely magnificent! Drama but not too much, great tempi and dynamics. Love Lang Lang's interaction with the (fantastic) orchestra. Thanks for posting.
it simply doesn't get better than this - Lang Lang is known for his expressive dynamics, he teaches this in his master classes - in this case even the conductor followed suit and was on top of the strings perfectly ranging and mirroring LangLang's pianissimos and fortissimos - i haven never seen anything like it - Lennard Bernstein and Riccardo Mutti can do that, but it haven't see it in unison with a pianist like this!!! simply perfect!!!
Thank you Lang Lang for your dedication to classical music and the beautiful rendition of this masterful work of Rachmaninoff.Amazing that he usually plays totally from memory.
An outstanding interpretation of our favorite piano concert that my late wife and myself enjoyed it setting in front of the bast ocean and enjoy the serenity,,,,❤️🌹🦋🙏,,,amén.
what a beautiful piece of music!! such vast emotional feel! So many visions of wonderful reflections this brings. I can go on but i want to listen. God bless
This is already the voice of the soul, a brilliant technique, a deep human feeling and thought reflection entirely in the language of music. (can’t help but express, share my feelings), Thanks for being there.
Mirella, il concerto è una delle cose più belle che essere umano abbia mai creato, ma la sua interpretazione non è niente di eccezionale (contestualizzato, ovviamente, a quei livelli). Se ascolti Rubinstein, la tua anima si scioglierà.
Wow, the eerie pacing towards the end of the 1st movement was really cool, a sense that Lang Lang felt that music was precious, as it is! Overall, I love the slower tempo they took because Rach’s music is so dense. It’s just too easy to plow over a listener, so many subtle ideas lost in a fog of notes. Here, every idea carefully articulated and phrased. Counter-melodies beautifully complimenting each other, not tripping over each other. Lang Lang squeezing out every ounce of brilliant nuance. Also, I can’t think of another concerto that involves the orchestra so much, all the other solo features mixed in.
Stunning Performance! .. Have followed Lang Lang's career for over 20 years! .... Look at his facial expressions when he plays! ...plays with so much feeling / emotion. Great conductor & orchestra.. Listen to Yuja Wang play this, which is brilliant... I am always moved to tears listening to this..
Well, YOU look at those facial espressions! Do you think other pianists should try to follow suit by "working their faces" as much as their fingers? Do you also think that unless they "make with the faces", there'd be little chance for any feeling to come through? Of course, it should be said that Lang wants you to gaze lovingly at his pretty face. You think he's rehearsed his mannerisms for nothing?
Brug lige 40 min på denne fantastiske pianist - luk øjnene og lyt til den smukke- rørende og storladne koncert! 2. Sats rører mig til tårer...igen og igen ,
Everytime i lizten to this to this concert, i miss my mom and dad so much.....she loves the even last movement. Which they made a song, like, Full Moon and Empty arms....Lang Lang Bravo.....the conducto and whole orchestra...wow...God bless...

Music written by a genius , played by a genius
It’s so cool how such a great pianist performs with one of the greatest conductors
Fabulous, fabulous composer, conductor, orchestra and of course Lang Lang. Just sublime.
An absolutely fabulous performance. I'll never will forget this one

Rach's third piano concerto, third movement
Did you know that Rach dedicated this to his shrink that helped get him back to composing after a deep/dark depression?
Id recommend Lorn's 'Acid Rain' piece:

00:00 moderato
12:10 adagio sostenuto
24:37 allegro scherzando
Lang Lang, consummate artist, seamless, in tune with himself and his play in what I can only describe as Love and Poetry :)
I have listened to this piece of music literally thousands of times since my father introduced me to it when I was very young. I've never heard it played like this though. Absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah, Lang Lang basically took time to smell all the roses, found every Easter egg Rach tucked into this masterpiece.

No shame. I cried too.
@@mariaalcazar1812 Me too. Who didnt?
Yes he plays the concerto very sentimentally..Please listen to the same concerto from pianist Alexandre Malofeev too :)

This cat is my current favorite pianist. He plays with such authority, control and ease.
Written sometime between 1900 and 1901, now being 2022, means this was written about 122 years ago. Yet sounds fresh .

Flo Hawkins yup, that second movement gets me everytime😭
Just Amazing playing of a beautiful piece
The ending is beautiful
Also wow for Simon Rattle - understood and always there to direct the beauty . Totally the best that could be.
Maravillosa la música en esta época tan dramática de guerra. Grande la orquesta y Grande Lang Lang. Vaya joya para youtube. Gracias por compartir
I just love Lang Lang’s interpretation
Perhaps one of Rackmaninoff's finest pieces of music excellent.
i didnt know he had large breasts too!?!?
This and the third concerto. Also his second piano sonata.
the best one i've ever hear
This is the soundtrack of my life!
Omg... perfection note by note
I love Lang Lang‘s interpretation.
Magnifica interpretación de un concierto que amo!!! Bravo Lang Lang!👏😊
Lang Lang is the greatest pianist of all time!
No, Rachmaninov and Horowitz were. Lang Lang is the greatest current pianist today, not for all time.
My Dad would play this . Always reminds me of him. Your playing it so beautifully.
ランランの大胆なかつ溢れる様な感性豊かな繊細な演奏に第一音から涙が溢れました！指揮者、オーケストラ、ソリスト、三位一体の類い稀なる演奏にはただ、ただ、感涙しながら聴きました💧💧💧
身体が宙に浮いて宇宙旅行に誘いました！
これ以上の演奏は望めませんね！
Why would you choose to embed commercials in that type of video???... It's very disturbing.
Zen Audio I agree! It was so irritating!!! 🤢😤
Zen Audio right!! Put them at the beginning. Don’t interrupt the video with them. It’s the worst.
how can someone put the commercials at the beginning? Could you plz explain how?
If you download the video to your own file, the commercials disappear.
Money! of course.
