Lugansky is not only one of the most brilliant pianists in the world but also an immensely beautiful person, rich in culture and spirit! I had the honour to meet him and I have been impressed by his humanity ❤🙏🏻
Я почувствовала великую одухотворенность НИКОЛАЯ, когда стала слушать его игру и видеть, как он играет. Да, чем величественнее человек, чем больше он одарен, тем выше его нравственность и интеллигентность. Я преклоняюсь перед МАЭСТРО ЛУГАНСКИМ! БРАВО!!!
As a Norwegian who has had this piano concerto as one of my favourites since early childhood, and have listened to it literally hundreds of times from various soloists and orchestras - I must say this russian orchester and Lugansky delivers one of the best interpretations I've ever heard! MASTERFUL!!
Love how he makes the depth of this music "look so easy" but inside you know his feeling is next level. Outstanding rendition of this masterpiece. TOO BAD ABOUT THE DAMN COMMERCIALS....HATE UA-cam.
Спасибо большое за ПРЕКРАСНОЕ исполнение - слышна каждая нотка, каждый пассаж доведен до конца. Все со смыслом, большой ответственностью и огромной любовью к музыкальному материалу.
Years ago the Grieg concerto was a laughingstock, but it's as good as any concerto. Lugansky takes a small concerto and makes it big. One of the loveliest middle movements ever.
An epic and tender song of life, in its resilience against death, frost and sadness. Perfect match between Lugansky's internal macrocosmos and the external macrocosmos.
Vous êtes à mes yeux le meilleur interprete de de ce concerto. Je n'ai jamais joué avec un orchestre mais votre sensibilité se rapproche de ce que j'aurais aimé faire. Merci pour cette belle interpretation!

Amazing performance of one of my all time favourite pieces
I had the honor to play horn in school orchestra in 7th grade ( I was only 13) and we played the first movement of this wonderful concerto! It was a great experience! Thank god, I didn't miss my action!
And to think Liszt suggested it be on the trumpet! Grieg accepted at first, but, THANFULLY, it was one of the first things he changed (among the many revisions he made throughout his life). And, I agree, it's a beautiful cello part! Actually, this concerto's second themes are all as gorgeous as the first themes.
After hearing the original version of Grieg's piano concerto I could not bear to listen to other versions of this concerto until I found this excellent recording by Lugansky of one of Grieg's revised versions. It is fantastic & a delight.
Wow and then thousand Wows!!! This performance in and itself is a priceless jewel. This concerto is my all time favorite and I have listened to hundreds of performances by other artists including, Yuja, Katya, Valentina, etc...This man, ort should I say our gift from Heaven, is beyond excellence in his interpretation without the body language grand standing and unnecessary gimmicks. Thank you a million Nikolai!!!
@Raf Kend - Thank you for pointing out the sheer un-necessity of the distracting body language grandstanding, which has become _de rigueur_ among so many of today's performers, as though such gimmickry somehow make their performances more musical. In truth, more often than not it does precisely the opposite. Bravo to Nikolai Lugansky and the other musicians for such a brilliant integration of soloist and orchestra in this classic masterpiece by Grieg.
Yeah playing without sheets is extremely common, so common in fact, that it is pretty much the standard for any concert performer, let alone someone of the stature and brilliance as Lugansky
This is by far the best recording of this piece I've ever heard....and I've heard dozens. Orchestra and soloist are beyond superb. Lugansky is the shit!!
@@esterbaque7757 Yes, the Rubinstein version is another great recording. I was lucky enough to hear Rubinstein live 3 times. Thanks for responding Ester.
A superb performance and I consider myself fortunate that I saw Lugansky perform this work when I visited London in 2016. However, for me, the broadcast was, again, spoiled by the camerawork. I much prefer to see the pianist, and preferably a side on-view. It's frustrating when you get the shot from the front. He's a pianist for goodness sake so why not show more of the playing. Also I don't need to see the flautist's nostrils or extreme close ups of various brass instruments. It happens with every production no matter who is broadcasting and I end up just closing my eyes and listening to the performance. I may as well have it on radio. However, having had my little rant, I'm very grateful that such concerts are posted on this forum. Thank you, Enchanted Warrior. :-)
Печально, что подавляющее большинство откликов га иностранных языках. Русский пианист играет с русским оркестром под упраалением русского дирижера... Увы, нам не нужна серьезная музыка - даже вв ее вершинных образцах! И меня лично это радует: нам не нужно "просветлять" свои души соприкосновением с Прекрасным, мы ведь в любом случае ПРЯМО В РАЙ, а ОНИ БУДУТ ГОРЕТЬ В АДУ! Это вдохновляет и успокаивает. По поводу исполнения музыки. Хочу поблагодарить пианиста за то, что, придерживаясь горовицевских традиций, не помогал своей игре лицом, строя уморительно-эмоциональные рожи. Как же надоела эта гнусная ланг-ланговская манера, увы, подхваченная некоторыми другими "топами" пианистического рейтинга!!

You can pay monthly premium service and not have any commercials. To me it's worth it.
Or you can migrate to Russia, here Google prohibited all advertising activity (glory, glory, halleluya)
Get an adblocker app. Not expensive and blocks ads on all site/Facebook etc. Worth every penny.
One of the best performances of this concerto that I have ever heard. Lugansky!
Stunningly beautiful as usual -- it's Lugansky !
Спасибо большое за ПРЕКРАСНОЕ исполнение - слышна каждая нотка, каждый пассаж доведен до конца. Все со смыслом, большой ответственностью и огромной любовью к музыкальному материалу.
Outstanding interpretation, musicality on highest level, nice video and special thx to the sound engineer
Lugansky is the consamate perfectionist.
Great interpretation - no theatricals, just purely felt - wonderful orchestral playing too
What a thrill to be able to watch this amazing performance. Lugansky's talent is breathtaking.
Спасибо судьбе, что дает шанс приобщиться к такому чуду. Жить в одной эпохе с гением- это ли не чудо.
16:41Very nice flute sound. And the exquisite interaction between piano and orchestra is beautiful!
What can I say - Nikolai is so brilliant; real feeling for this piece. Simply lovely.
He must have seen our fiords, the mountains, everything
The beginning of the third movement is one of the most impactful things ever written; and executed to perfection here.
Un pur enchantement la virtuosité de l artiste et ce voyage dans l univers de Grieg du bonheur merci
Excellent. Nikolai Lugansky is a great pianist. Thank you very much for this sharing.

Incroyable, sublime, Lugansky est un magicien.
From 28:05 to the end - wow! Sheer power!

Amazing performance of one of my all time favourite pieces
Marvelous artist❤
MERVEILLEUX pianiste.
I love the bit at the end of the first movement when the opening chords come back with those roaring scales in the bass around it.
FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS, NIKOLAI!!!! TE ADMIRO PROFUNDAMENTE!
Saw "Song of Norway" many times, always cried my eyes out, so perfect why did he write only 1piano-concert, just LOVE it!😢❤❤
I often question why Grieg never write a violin concerto, too. His violin sonatas are out of this world.
I love this concert very much and the way Mr Lugansky plays it is like being in the Heavens. ❤❤❤
The film's quality is so G00000D! 👍👍👍❤️
Thank You for sharing this Video. He is always touching Soul.
Excellente prestation de Lugansky, remarquablement dirigé par Petrenko.
Великолепное творение Грига, волшебное исполнение. Браво!
I had the honor to play horn in school orchestra in 7th grade ( I was only 13) and we played the first movement of this wonderful concerto! It was a great experience! Thank god, I didn't miss my action!
The cadenza's first movement is amazing, a lot of powerful
I love the cello part at 2:29~ it's so lovely whenever they get the melody for a brief few seconds 💙
And to think Liszt suggested it be on the trumpet! Grieg accepted at first, but, THANFULLY, it was one of the first things he changed (among the many revisions he made throughout his life). And, I agree, it's a beautiful cello part! Actually, this concerto's second themes are all as gorgeous as the first themes.
@@Pedro_Larroza Where can I find all the suggestions Liszt made?

Haha I know exactly what you mean, I was searching for the Vakhtang Badrishvili version but this is a really close second
Michelangeli Fruhbeck de Burgos !!!!!
What a great drummer as well! Gives so much to the piece!
Absolutely brilliant

Lugansky's technique never fails to amaze me. Another sublime performance here.
Absolutamente divino!
Beautifully played
Superb!!
Николай Луганский, госоркестр имени Светланова, концерт Эдварда Грига! Что может быть лучше?! Браво 👏 🌹🌹🌹
Дмитрий, да нам бы Николай Луганский и госоркестр имени Светланова, а программа подойдет любая)) Григ, конечно прекрасен!
Счастья и восторг от того что Россия стала поистине хранительницей мировой музыкальной культуры!
Это СССР таким был.
THANKS ! ❤
Absolutely an exquisite performance!
Brilliant
БРАВО , МАЭСТРО ❗ Астана Казахстан
favolosa musica per me insperata, sentivo Grieg anche da ragazzina
그리그 피아노협주곡 실황연주중에서 가장 마음에 들어요!
Excelente apresentação ao piano: sem distorções nos sons das batidas mais fortes
The fact that he played through the whole concerto beautifully without a single piece of sheet is absolutely amazing, I'm at a loss for word now.
That´s how most play, even non-professionals. When I took piano lessons we had to memorize the sheet music for our recitals/concerts.
Yeah playing without sheets is extremely common, so common in fact, that it is pretty much the standard for any concert performer, let alone someone of the stature and brilliance as Lugansky
@@FreakieFan Herencia de los románticos del XIX, en la época de Mozart y Bach tocar con la partitura a la vista era lo normal.
Have you any idea how many times he’s played this? He probably vaguely knew how to play it before he knew how to play it.
Magnifico
This is by far the best recording of this piece I've ever heard....and I've heard dozens. Orchestra and soloist are beyond superb. Lugansky is the shit!!
Did you hear Arthur Rubinstein. ?
@@esterbaque7757 Yes, the Rubinstein version is another great recording. I was lucky enough to hear Rubinstein live 3 times. Thanks for responding Ester.
@@gerryamatomusic Thanks, all are great.
Have you heard Sara Ott performing this concerto? Also good.
@@Cbiscuola No I haven't. I'll have to check it out.
Так може зіграти тільки норвежець! І то, при тому, що Гріг розробляв цю тему на 4 руки.
Браво !!! Бравіссімо!!!
Sensacional! Maravilhoso!
27:22 - 28:05 I always love this part 🥰
Fine Performance of one of the greatest piano concertos of all time !!!!!
I played everythinf Grieg, why did he write only 1concerto, it is so perfect!❤😢❤
wonderful
Wonderful. That's all
een van de mooiste uitvoeringen; zeldzaam.
A M A Z I N G ...
I have nothing to say it was a brilliant performance
Луганский... восхитительно, спасибо.
Спасибо
Lugansky é monstruoso
Minunat!
I agree - one of the best interpretations. Very close to Arthuro Bendetti Michelangeli. I mean the dynamics.
Echoing all you guys‘ comments….beautiful Cadenza, sweet touching, breathtaking, powerful crystal,…Nikolai Lugansky 🎶
A superb performance and I consider myself fortunate that I saw Lugansky perform this work when I visited London in 2016. However, for me, the broadcast was, again, spoiled by the camerawork.

Николай луганский 👍👍👍👍👍
cadenza at 9:20
Very solid and good interpretation. But I can also hear/feel the 'routine' in Lugansky playing this here.
One of my favorite artists in most genre, the only commonality noticed is the almost exceeded acceptable level of bass note mistakes.
My Norway.
😮
22:45❤24:45 & 26:50 showdown
Ironically; I first heard this In "The song of Norway" in Jones Beach in 1958.

brilliant, but also great conductor & orchestra: who are they? (mention it please)
See the video description.
Ads play in middle of music. PLease move to end of video.
Great job. but how do you mess up the oh so famous opening run?
28:40 seems like such a good place to start happy birthday 😂
Malisima direccion de cámaras durante todo el concierto al final ya es indignante. Busquen un director de tv a la altura de los músicos.

Nah look at Beethoven

This one just easier than Rach 2 right?
Yes
Wouldn't be so sure about that. I can play Rach 2, and the 3rd movement is not as hard as Grieg's one, in my opinion.
Луганский мастер кантилены
Never knew Elon musk was a conductor

По поводу исполнения музыки. Хочу поблагодарить пианиста за то, что, придерживаясь горовицевских традиций, не помогал своей игре лицом, строя уморительно-эмоциональные рожи. Как же надоела эта гнусная ланг-ланговская манера, увы, подхваченная некоторыми другими "топами" пианистического рейтинга!!
Scandaleux ! Que le début du second mouvement soit coupé par une publicité intempestive décidément plus personne n' a de respect pour la musique...
Ridiculous tempo, even the soloist doesn't know how to keep up with it. Listen to Rubinstein instead.
