Nikolai Lugansky, 2023
From Moscow Philharmonic www.youtube.co...
“...Because of the popularity of the Prelude, the Opus 3 pieces are rarely played as a group. When they are, the range and subtlety of Rachmaninov’s compositional genius (even at the age of nineteen) become apparent. The emotional range is wide: from the deep tragedy of the Prelude to the joyous character of the Serenade, and the whimsy of Polichinelle. The subtlety is shown by the fact that a tiny melodic cell-the semitonal fall, or its extension the whole-tone step and their inversions-is heard at the beginning of every one of the five pieces. Whilst it is too much to claim that this gives the pieces a unity of organic strength (of which Rachmaninov was certainly capable), it is fascinating to see how this tiny cell is used again and again in these pieces. In passing, one should note also that this semitonal fall begins the Dies irae, almost the idée fixe in this composer’s mature compositions. [...]”

No one noticed that he was playing in a completely dark hall. What an artistic message to the world! I would not applaud, but silently worship the greatness...
I think it's a homage to Richter, because Richter preferred the audience to listen to the music rather than watch him play
Fantastic Russian piano School music !!!!
As a pianist this is my preference, don't applaud. The silence at the end is my favorite part. Everyone just sit with what was heard
I love the way lugansky interprets rachmaninoff, its just perfect
The first 150 seconds (The A-section) of this wonderful piece is accessible to intermediate level amateurs who know how to read music and have some ideas about the world we live in. If I were a piano teacher, I'd try to inspire my adult students to spend more time at the piano learning how to play great, emotional themes like this one. Music is meant to be performed like in the days before the radio and gramophone.
I consider myself an intermediate amateur pianist and I can assure this whole piece is accessible. I learnt it in only a month, I thought it would have taken much more time but it really isn't that hard.
It's one of the best pieces to learn, and one of the easiest Rach pieces out there.
@@danibv1291 i kinda agree with you but the middle of the B-section insanely hard. You need a lot of control on the piano. But it is not impossible if you study slow and slow. Also the coda is pretty challenging.
@@deniztokur3597 You're right about that.
@@danibv1291 Good for you :)) keep practising and soon you'll be an advanced level amateur pianist, you will then be able to play most of Rachmaninoff's pieces with skill and control. And why not the Chopn etudes. There are only 27 of them. Might as well learn the Scherzi and Ballades too. Good luck my friend.

I would say this piece is actually quite inaccessible, personally. Hitting all the right notes is the easy part, but the dynamics and control you need to play this and have it sound GOOD is incredibly difficult. (Especially if you’re on a piano with heavier keys.) But at least it’s not a piece that requires giant hands! Although it’s a great piece to teach int amateurs anyway. The jumps and parts where you cross your hands over one another are great to get more ‘mobility’ in playing, and the whole B section is a very fun exercise. A shame the shapes in Eb minor are all so wonky… but that’s a part of the learning, too.
Это потрясающе! Рахманинов - русская музыка глубочайшей души! ❤
В исполнении Луганского более цепляет чем в исполнении автора.
He escaped Russia for a reason. Don’t think of yourself so highly.
This guy is just amazing. There is no word left to describe these feelings. Very touching performance, made me cry..
I’ve listened to this over and over - just a stunning performance! And now I’m going to try this for my next piece and will probably listen to it 100 more times. The absolute best!!!
Music is enough for a lifetime a lifetime is not enough for music Rachmaninoff bravo Lugansky you are the best pianist alive for Rachmaninoff 🎉❤😊
Maybe you've forgotten that Ashkenazy is still alive!
Funny, not funny.
@@Gerhold102
@@beethovensgWhat's irritating you, sunshine?
@Gerhold102 I love Rachmaninoff and Ashkenazi.
I am expanding on your comment. Your wry and dry choice of vernacular comment expresses much truth. Quite clever. Nevermind moonbeam.
@@beethovensgAh, yours was "brevity is the soul of wit" kind of comment. I didn't 'get it', but atm I'm knee deep in tissues, coughing and sneezing so forgive my bad mood.
One of the most beautiful piano pieces ever composed. I played this piece a while back in high school, wish I had recorded it as I even had it memorized. After hearing this man’s performance I’d like to learn it again. What an excellent performance of this pianist!!
Same! My parents never recorded my recitals (granted this was before smart phones existed), and I wish they had at least recorded Elegy. It was my favorite and also had it memorized (I was 15). We moved when I was almost 16, so my classical lessons stopped. Miss playing, but not sure it’d come back to me now (33). 💔
Mr.Lugansky, as always, you generously bring so much beauty to the world with your artistry! Thank you❤!
Avec une interprétation toujours aussi intense, superbe, le silence s impose. On retient son souffle qd on l écoute. Que du bonheur!! Un Grand Grand merci à ce pianiste que j adore .
Happy 150th, Sergei! Thank you for everything!
Happy Birthday our great man!🙂
Изумительно! Сколько благородства и глубины!
Incredible performance and piece!!! I have this on repeat. I must be about 1,000 of the current 113,000 views. One day will try to tackle this.
you may want to hurry up !
Thank you! Touching performance of a rarely heard gem.
Beautiful playing! Always love listening to Lugansky. A sublime performance of the Rachmaninoff.
La profondeur de l âme slave...La puissance évocatrice de la musique, quelque chose d unique...
Brilliant performance. Lugansky's tenderness is overwhelming. His exquisite sense of expression and dynamics is fantastic
A wonderful present on Rachmaninov's 150th birthday with this exquisite, refined and very touching performance by Nikolai Lugansky !👏👏👏👏✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💝
Stupenda esecuzione Lugansky è un raffinato interprete di Rachmaninov
1:26-1:57 most beautiful part of the piece
Гении, считывающие и доносящие информацию Великой Музыки до современников. Мы познаём мысли Великих композиторов благодаря их титаническому труду и дарованию.
Я тоже когда-то на своем выпускном экзамене исполняла это потрясающее произведение. Прослушала, вспомнила, до слез. Браво!
What a great choice to celebrate Rachmaninoff's 150th birthday. ❤️🔥
My favourite pianist. Extraordinary hands.
Как это красиво!!!! Волшебные звуки и руки!
This was my favorite go-to encore after playing a Rachmaninoff Concerto or the Paganini Variations. Nobody, including the composer himself, interprets it as well as Maestro Lugansky does.
Felicitaciones Maestro Nucolai Lugansky! Llore de emocion con su interpretacion!! Absolutamente maravillosa! Rachmaninov vive en sus manos! Ud es el mejor pianista del mundo!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Какие волшебные терции у Рахманинова!🖤💔
Those massive chords in the middle section just pierced my soul. How sweet is that? Beautiful performance.
Rachmaninoff is a genius !!!! Unbelievable beauty . LUGANSKY SUPER PIANIST..
Delizia....per meditare, sognare, assaporare il tempo passato e presente...
Genius from Rachmaninoff and played sublimely by Nikolai.
That climax at 3:21 😍
Как же это прекрасно звучит...Рахманинов гений..
Immense beauty and perfect perfomance.Thank you
why do they start clapping before the piece is done? With non-virtuoso pieces, it's best to let the sound die down. The pianist will usually indicate by his posture when it's actually done.
I always angry when this happening,even in virtuoso pieces.Why don't they let the acoustics dissolve and scatter, so it will be better
bc the performance is good, you really wanna clap for the player, and oh look, the song just ended!
its really simple, you clap for those that deserve it, not hold it for dramatics 😆
@@onetenths8017, it’s not dramatics, it’s respect
That's when the crowds love his playing more than normal also you just have to watch this guy not for listening but to see how talented is he
Se taire, écouter : Simplement superbe !!!
Superbe interpretation. So, so sensitive and passionate. He is great!
Столько прекрасных пианистов в мире ,но Луганский не сравним ни с кем ,после него не хочется никого уже слушать ,спасибо ,особенно он неповторим в Рахманинове.
Ditto
Spellbinding playing. Absolutely sublime execution.
ラフマニノフはMちゃんが言ってたようにカッコいい…エレジーは、なんとなく自分でも弾けそうだから楽譜を買ってみようかな💙弾いてみたらハマっちゃったリして💙
Imagine, he was only 19 when he created this masterpiece!
This is my personal favorite by Rachmoninoff. The melody is hauntingly beautfiul. I play it over and over.
What a breathtakingly gorgeous piece, so deep and tragic. A masterpiece. Rachmaninov had his own musical voice right from the start.
Bravisimo Maestro Lugansky!!!!! La polonesa Heroica de Chopin como debe ser ejecutada e interpretada!!!! Con bravura y sentimiento.!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎶
Non è la polacca eroica
Thank you
Divinal. Que força. Que magestuosidade.
BRAVO 👏
Bravooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...................
Rachamninoff's Elegie is one of the greatest songs ever written that define the pain and isolation after the loss of someone loved by us.
It takes a truly free soul's artistic hands to pull my tears down
Beatiful!
Beautiful!
Lugansky's Rachmaninoff is on another level.
Perfect blend of technical mastery and profound emotion, every note feels alive👏 Truly captivating
Rillingen, zo mooi!
Beautiful piece!
Absolutely sublime playing.
this is special
Спасибо
Сердце чуть не лопнуло.
Perfect!!! Absolutely perfect.
unrepeatable !!!!!
Сколько мне нравится Рахманинов.
Lugansky is a genius
Bravo!
Magnifique délicatesse
Un trésor
Bravo ! Your Rachmaninov is the best!
И Рахманинов, и Луганский не от мира сего. Слава Богу.
woooo new video by lugansky!
Grand!
невероятно!
若い頃のように暴力的に鍵盤を叩かなくなりましたが、繊細で素敵ですね。
La richesse de la musique russe complète à merveille notre voie classique européenne si extraordinaire
He left Russia for a reason. He lived most of his musician life in America. Russian music has got nothing to do with it he was just one of the most amazing composers who ever lived.
🖤
Ах.. какое чудо!
❤💐
Идеальное исполнение. Чуть быстрее - плохо, чуть медленнее - плохо. А вот так - идеально.
❤
the best in this piece
This piece is one of those I love most. I play it faster. However, Lugansky' s version keeps absolutelly loyal to the spirit of the composition.
Мне нравится когда играют чуть быстрее
пожалуй .....
Is it true he composed this when he was 18?
Yes, it is only his third opus.
You can tell it’s a Rach because the right hand is playing octaves and the left hand is playing over 21sts.
Откуда берутся гении,не от Бога ли? Спасибо Ему и за Рахмаманинова и за Луганского ,и еще за всю красоту в мире .Аминь
Великий Рахманинов...как будто предвидел весь трагизм неприкаянной русской жизни... Русским не дано быть счастливыми: они никогда ими не были и просто не знают , что это такое. Не знают другого, кроме беспросветности, которую сами же для себя и создают. Что ж, можно только посожалеть об этом: ведь Россия, казалось бы, всё имеет для счастья...Но, видно, не дано
Рахманинов,это всё!!!
I enjoyed this more than Rachmaninov playing himself. Too fast and violent, albeit vitruosic
Lugansky is Rachmaninoff's son...
What a piece. But god there's ao much noise, it sounds like someone is doing... Well, that
Думала у Ботвинова мне больше нравится Элегия,пока,не услышала ЭТО..Больше этот темп нравится.Хотя,равноценно наверно,там тоже свои красивости есть🙈
Вы наш хадатай перед Богом о прощении грехов...
Rachmaninov et Luganski ne font qu un
Нет, Рахманинов лучше всех исполняет это!
Great pianist bad audience
He played G rather than Gb at 4:41 in the right hand, unforgivable, terrible recording.
@@Moisha695 the rachmaninoff recording has a Gb because it is correct, not because he "improvised"
The entire section makes absolutely no sense without a Gb, as it is a modification of the main motif. You're speaking out of your a**
You are deaf, not from ear but from soul
@@Reboost269 you are religious.
@@DeeCeeHaichbut it's written G in the score lol
but rachmaninoff himself plays Gb, and Gb is the only logical progression. this is a modification of the main motif. it should be Gb, it was an editor's mistake to write Gnat@@enricoboldrini5350
I think that Lugansky plays more slowly than the work needs;I suggest that we should listen this prelude played by Idil Biret I like it very much.
