This just might be the three most beautiful minutes of music ever written. I don't know what universe Sergei Rachmaninoff came from, but I want to spend eternity there. I've seen the original orchestral version of this piece live. Half the audience was in tears, including myself. The Loveridge piano transcription is the gold standard, and this is the best performance of that transcription I've ever heard. Just fantastic on every level. I aspire to learn it, but I fear it's above my skill level.
Michael don't give up. Start practicing this in the key of C and you'll progress to original someday if you choose. Every time I play this for a gig people are moved like us with the beauty of emotions that was intended to touch our souls. Sergei was given this piece like Mozart etc from the heavenly music spheres. GBU on your musical journey. We're all a WIP😇
The algorithm goddess sent you to me & I'm so grateful. This is quite different from any other I've heard. I love it, & I will listen again & again!! You played it perfectly, with the gentleness & respect this exquisite music deserves!! Thank you, kind sir. 🤗☺️❤️🙏🖖🎉
He is the best playing this of all the pianists on UA-cam. I’m a published classical pianist and there’s nothing worse than people trying to turn the original version into a restaurant version.
it is a blessing to be able do play such a Rachmaninov masterpiece like this, whenever he wants to hear it, I wish I could do it. It is my favorite Masterpice of Rachmaninov
After exiled to the United States, Rachmaninoff focused on performing rather than composing to make a living. With a height of 190 cm and a hand size of 30 cm, he was able to press the 13th interval (do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do-re-mi-fa-sol-la) at once. Meanwhile, in the summer of 1934, while on a family trip to Switzerland, he devoted himself to composition and composed 'Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini' for piano and orchestra. At the time, avant-garde music that suppressed emotional expression was attracting attention in the United States, but contrary to the trend, he composed this piece that bursts out emotions with lyricism and achieved great success. This piece consists of 24 variations and is Rachmaninoff's last piano work. 라흐마니노프는 미국으로 망명한 후, 생계 유지를 위해 작곡 활동보다는 연주 활동에 주력했다. 190cm의 키에 30cm의 손 크기를 가진 그는 13도 음정(도레미파솔라시도레미파솔라)을 한번에 누를 수 있었다. 그러던 중 1934년 여름, 가족 여행으로 떠난 스위스에서 작곡에 몰두하면서 피아노와 오케스트라를 위한 '파가니니의 주제에 의한 광시곡'을 작곡한다. 당시 미국에서는 감정 표현을 억제하는 아방가르드 음악이 주목받았지만, 그는 유행과 상반되게 서정성을 담아 감정을 분출하는 이 곡을 작곡하였고 대성공을 이룬다. 이 곡은 24개의 변주곡으로 되어있으며, 라흐마니노프의 마지막 피아노 작품이다. ラフマニノフは米国に亡命した後、生計維持のために作曲活動よりは演奏活動に力を注いだ。 190センチの身長に30センチの手の大きさを持つ彼は、13度音程（ドレミファソラシドレミファソラ）を一度に押すことができた。 そんな中、1934年夏、家族旅行で旅立ったスイスで作曲に没頭しながらピアノとオーケストラのための「パガニーニの主題による狂詩曲」を作曲する。 当時、米国では感情表現を抑制するアバンギャルド音楽が注目されたが、彼は流行と相反する叙情性を込めて感情を噴出するこの曲を作曲し、大成功を成し遂げる。 この曲は24の変奏曲からなっており、ラフマニノフの最後のピアノ作品である。
With so many layers to resolve or tones to pass, it's hard to do it all in a timely manner....and I respect that. A wonderful playing of one of my faves. Bravo !
It's even better with a full orchestra. I first heard it on my car radio, incongruously driving away from a rubbish-tip. The tip though was actually in a stretch of pleasant countryside. Which was a bit incongruous as well.

I knew it as a fan of Rachmaninov and his love for Jazz which influenced the whole piece (Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini) which this is a small part of. Brilliant!

It was from the spiritual world. Some may call God. It's inverted music but in it's correct form in the other world.

Surpressing emotional expression sounds like a miserable experience for music
And my compliments to Mr Harbors as well👍🏼. Brilliantly played sir - again Bravo!
With so many layers to resolve or tones to pass, it's hard to do it all in a timely manner....and I respect that.
A wonderful playing of one of my faves. Bravo !
amazing masterpice, amazing performed
👍
The performance and the recording are superb. It touched me deeply. Thank you for sharing
Learning it now, you played it beautifully. Inspiring 💙
Coisa linda ....
Emocionante....
O filme é maravilhoso.....
Staggeringly beautiful. Love and peace to you Brother.
Bravissimo!
Magnificent and with sublime feeling!
Thanks a lot! For your kind words and fantastic arrangement!!
Sublime. ❤
Hauntingly beautiful....!!!!! Love it so much
*Simply a wonderful interpretation....* ❤🎹
Yes, slow and languid. Examine each note, see how it sounds then fades like a rose. Savor the tone and how it elicits the next tone.
Fantastic, the pianist has his style to interpret this song 👏🏻🙏🏻🙌🎶🌻🎹
Awesome 👏🏽👏🏽
Just beautiful !!
Magnifico, Wouter Harbers! 🇧🇷
Bravo! 👏 👏
This is excellent
The piano is voiced so well
色々な方のラフマニノフのパガニーニのラプソディを聴いておりますが、あなたの演奏(アレンジもされてるのかな?)が最も私の琴線に触れ、感動しております。
一つひとつの音に、貴方独特の音の長さ、音形、強弱、音圧、アクセント、雰囲気があり、その集合体が見事に演奏として、曲として耳に届いて来ます。
何か信じられないくらい、完成されているというか、洗練された演奏です。
中ほどの少しのミスタッチも計算してされている様に聞こえるぐらいです。
本当に素晴らしいです🎉
Outstanding.
Simply Magnificent!!
Beautiful.
Gracias, thank you.
So good
Thanks!!
Wouter, wat mooi🎶🎶dankjewel👏👏
He nailed it ❤
Beautiful😊
The best I've heard
The best performance😊
It's even better with a full orchestra. I first heard it on my car radio, incongruously driving away from a rubbish-tip. The tip though was actually in a stretch of pleasant countryside. Which was a bit incongruous as well.
La maravilla del lenguaje de los silencios, los tempos correctos.
You are a great piano poet...🎉...
Prachtig Wouter, dank
Belíssima interpretação amei muito
omg amazing
Fantástico
Beautiful!!!❤️❤️❤️
Genieten...prachtig 2:35
suuuper sound !!!!!!
The late Paul O'Grady favourite piece of music ❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Esta musica penetra el inconsciente
Bravo ❤
prachtig!
Wouter, wat mooi🎶🐞Dank je wel!🎼👏
😃
Simplesmente o temais mais lindo do mundo para piana, supera Clair de lune.
I heard the music notes for this great music piece by Rachmaninov were actually reverse notes from Paganini's 24 . Is it true?
Hermoso! Me siento tan bien cuando te veo y escucho tus interpretaciones.
아 너무좋아 진짜. 소리 미쳤어
Dat is heel mooi🎉

Who else knew about this piece on their own and not from Somewhere in Time?
I knew it as a fan of Rachmaninov and his love for Jazz which influenced the whole piece (Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini) which this is a small part of. Brilliant!
Het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam?
Klopt 👍😁
Рахманинова ,играть без души невозможно!!!!
Exactly!
It’s so moving! Just beautiful! Is this just the first piano arrangement? Somehow it doesn’t sound like just 1 piano!
Thanks a lot! This arrangement is from Loveridge, you can find the score at www.theatomheart.net/dl/pianopdf/Rachmaninoff-18th-Variation-Loveridge.pdf
Video inguardabile per i fastidiosissimi "salti" della telecamera.OSCENO.
You can listen with closed eyes ;-)
