The Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, is a concerto for piano and orchestra composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff between the autumn of 1900 and April 1901. The second and third movements were first performed with the composer as soloist on 2 December 1900. The complete work was premiered, again with the composer as soloist, on 9 November 1901, with his cousin Alexander Siloti conducting. This video contains all three movements played by Rachmaninoff.
This piece is one of Rachmaninoff's most enduringly popular pieces, and established his fame as a concerto composer.
*UPDATE
I know there has been a lot of controversies about who's playing second and third movements. Personally I got this recording from a CD which said it was Rachmaninoff who was playing, so I decided to upload it on youtube. I'm not exactly sure who's playing second or third movements but am definitely sure its Rachmaninoff who's playing the first.
![Yuja Wang: Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor Op. 18 [HD]](/img/n.gif)
In 1980 I was fortunate to go to Moscow. Very difficult in those years. We were walking the streets and we found a LP/vinyl store. We went in and since none of us spoke Russian we just walked around looking at all the records. I walked up to the counter and said "Rachmaninoff". I figured they would understand that. The clerks started to pull out LP after LP. In the stack was a set of 9 LPS of Rachmaninoff playing only his compositions (a box set all in Russian). I purchased it immediately. I played them for years over and over. In 2000 I donated the box set to Dana School of Music. I consider myself most fortunate.
Wowwwwww

I'men que año fue este concierto
Hi, was this known compositions or published? Where could I listen to these?
Браво!!!!! Браво!!!!
I am a 65 year old man teaching my grandsons to appreciate and hopefully one day love the classics. When I first played Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 for my 3 year old grandson he asked me if I was OK because of the tears in my eyes. I can't help it every time I listen to this piece my breath is short and my eyes are wet from start to finish. Arguably the best piano concerto of all time.
I wish I could play it
@@sevaras.2174 Most of the classics are in video games, you're probably not aware of nor is your 3 year old grandson, but he will be.
especially the 2nd movement extremely lyrical
You can feel the beauty of russian culture and history through his music.
ganjoka That is exactly how I feel ...🙏🏻
I grew up hearing my dear Mum play this on our piano. Still brings tears to my eyes. She was not a well trained pianist but played it with such heart and gusto. I can still hear it, even though our old piano was not the best instrument. It’s the heart that plays it, not the skill of the performer.
Agreed! ❤
love your view of your mom. She tackled the best and enjoyed it
Oh my yes, a thousand times over!
The HEART comes through loud and clear! While skill is important, if a musician does not have heart and passion pouring out of his/her soul, all the skill cannot make up for a flat, dry performance!!
I’ve heard that same thing with opera singers as well. Like the “Three Tenors”… all of them have beautiful voices, phrasing, etc etc…. But for me, only one of the three had passion and heart… he sang from a different place in his being and you could feel it in every performance!
I’ll leave it to you to discern which of three I’m referring to…. He’s the one who could bring tears to my eyes by singing the phone book!! I, like you, listen to music through my heart and soul ❣️
In my childhood I often wondered if others heard music as I did, but I was so young at the time I didn’t understand
why some were not moved as I was moved.
My mother was a professional musician and I’d see her weep as she played… it all came from the ♥️ heart!
I also grew up with this music; my mother did not play the piano, but had a Van Cliburn recording that she played quite often. So much it defined her and her personality. I too bond her memory with Rachmaninoff music.
Thank you.
I recently discovered that he wrote this magnificent piece as he surfaced from a deep depression. It certainly helped me overcome my own demons during a very difficult period in my life. Thank you Maestro.
Yes, it's dedicated to the doctor who treated him. Incredible story

@@Ametista-zc2ed yes, incredible performance.
Не wrote this piece being in US and deeply longing to return to Russia. He missed too much his mothercountry.
A couple of interesting things about Rachmaninoff. He was the first composer to fully understand the importance of being recorded playing his own music. In fact he recorded much of his own piano music, as well as the music of many other important composers for RCA in the 20s and 30s. Before this, composers thought of recording as some sort of a gimmick and they did not understand the real value for future generations. As far as the sound quality and interpretations go, even though the Rachmaninoff's recordings were done in the electrical era there were still serious limitations on the sound quality and that must be kept in mind when you judge the sound and playing.
This also means we can be certain we aren't hearing the full tone and expressiveness of Rachmaninoff's playing. This is especially true with respect to dynamic range - the difference in volume between the loudest passages and the softest ones. Because of the limitations in recording technology at this time, recording engineers had to engage in the process of gain riding. This means turning the record level up and down during the recording process so that the loud passages would not distort on the finished recording and so that the soft passages would be audible as well. At best this was not an exact science.
Here is why I mention this. Rachmaninoff was widely regarded as the greatest living pianist in the period between the two world wars, in a time filled with great giants. This included pianists like Josef Hoffmann, Josef Lehvinne, Leopold Godowsky, Ignaz Freidman, Moritz Rosenthal, Benno Moisevitch and others, not to mention young lions such Rubinstein and Horowitz. In this time Rachmaninoff was said to have, by most critics and these other giants of the keyboard, the most beautiful tone and the widest possible control of phrasing and dynamic range. This is more audible on some of his solo recordings as compared to those with orchestra. Listen to his 1929 recording of Handel's Harmonious Blacksmith Suite and you can hear a control of dynamic range not duplicated by any pianist then or since. Recording with orchestra during this period was a bear and it inevitably involved artistic compromises that were not made during live performances.
Pianists of this time, Rachmaninoff included, never played anything the same way twice, so no one recording can be said to be a definitive. Rachmaninoff himself was quoted as saying that his goal in these recordings was simply to provide a record of his own playing in these pieces for future generations. He did not say that any one recording of his was definitive. The wonderful pianist Arthur Schnabel was fond of saying that great compositions were finer than they could ever be played, making it clear that even a recording by the composer cannot be considered the last word. And this without even getting into to the debate about how performance styles evolve over the years.
Last comment about Rachmaninoff's playing for the moment. If he were recording and playing today, it is my personal belief, based on everything I have heard and read, that the playing would be bolder, more dynamic and more tonally rich than the playing of any contemporary pianist, but that is just my subjective two cents worth! Thanks for listening and please let me know what you think.
Regarding your claim that Rachmaninoff was widely regarded as the greatest living pianist in the period between the two world wars: I expect that Rachmaninoff himself would have disputed this.
There is a famous anecdote as recalled by Abram Chasins (in his 'Speaking of Pianists'):
'Some years later, at one of Hofmann's memorable recitals in New York's Carnegie Hall, following a truly bedazzling performance of Chopin's B minor Sonata, Sergei Rachmaninoff sat silent for a few moments and then said:
"Well, there goes one more composition out of my repertoire. Not since Anton Rubinstein have I heard anything like this. There's no use. It is the music itself and the only way to play it, and nobody else can do it."'
Also bear in mind that Lhévinne, as a classmate of Rachmaninoff, graduated at the top of the class above him.
I'm not trying to belittle Rachmaninoff. He is one of the greatest pianists on record, a statement that I expect would be received unanimously. The point of me writing this is to highlight that the pianists of the time were all esteemed and claiming that Rachmaninoff "was said to have, by most critics and these other giants of the keyboard, the most beautiful tone and the widest possible control of phrasing and dynamic range" does a disservice to all the other fantastic pianists of the time. It also isn't true. The following is a quote from Harold C. Schönberg, one of the most prolific critics of the 20th century, speaking of Josef Lhévinne:
"His tone was like the morning stars singing together, his technique was flawless even measured against the fingers of Hofmann and Rachmaninoff, and his musicianship was sensitive."
Evidently, there was not a consensus that one pianist was better than all the others!
I hope I've made my point clear. Just because one pianist is fantastic doesn't mean the others have to be put down.
@@tomcarterpianist Tom thanks for your interest in my post about Rachmaninoff. You seem a bit confused, so let me start by clarifying one important point, no where in my post did I put down other great pianists with my comments about Rachmaninoff - period. Raising one pianist above the others does not automatically imply that others are being put down. For me it is more a case of "primus inter pares".
I have also read the books by Shonberg and Chasins many times and am familiar with their statements about the greatest pianists pianists playing between the wars. For me Shoenberg's most interesting comment about Hoffman was, that compared to him, other pianists sounded thick. My opinion is based primarily on listening. What I find fascinating is that at no point do you mention listening to the playing of these of these great artists!
I have hundreds of recordings of pianists from this time. This includes the extensive complete recordings of Rachmaninoff, the extensive complete recordings of Hoffman, the complete recordings of Lhevinne and many others. Of these three, Rachmaninoff is the only one who left recordings comprehensive enough for anyone to have a real opinion about his playing. The sum total of Lhevinne's recordings are contained in a single disc which is barely 50 minutes long. When you eliminate the duets with his wife Rosina you have barely 30 minutes. Of this 30 minutes 15 of it is unexceptional, leaving only several small pieces to support Lhevvine's entire reputation. It is true that he was widely admired by his esteemed colleges, but the great praise heaped upon him by Busoni at the Moscow conservatory was based on the playing of a talented 15 your old and not a mature artist. For all we know Lhevinne peaked early and was superseded by other great pianists. I am not saying that is the case, I am only saying you cannot really support Lhevinne's reputation by listening to the recordings he left.
Hoffman is another challenging case. He left a lot of recordings, mostly made during his long decline from lack of practice and severe alcoholism. His finest recordings are the very early electrical ones where the playing does sound magical, but all in recordings of very short pieces. By the time we get to his Jubilee Concert in Carnegie Hall, he is already not the magician of the keyboard he once was. He does rise to the ocaission in the Anton Rubinstein Concerto, but the rest of his playing in this recital was seriously uneven. He made many recordings after this, mostly the same group of Chopin pieces again and again, each sounding worse and more eccentric than the one before. He may have been the greatest of all time, but as with Lhevinne, his recordings do not show it.
This leaves us with Rachmaninoff, someone who recorded extensively in his prime, including many important long pieces by other composers. I concede these recordings cannot show the complete Rachmaninoff, but as a group the playing is heads and tails about what Hoffman and Lhevinne left us. I say this because, to the best of my knowledge, I have listened to every note recorded by all three of them again and again. We have the same problem with Leopold Godowsky, someone who was praised by Rachmaninoff and Hoffman as a magician of the keyboard, but whose recordings show us nothing of the sort. Naturally these are only my opinions and you may not feel the same way when you listen.
Fact, in his time Rachmaninoff was the most financially successful, popular and in demand pianist in the world - period. During this time Hoffman and Lhevinne were also on the concert stage, but they were no where near as popular with concert going audiences.
Interesting note, in poles of current professional pianists over the last several decades, Rachmaninoff is placed at the peak repeatedly! In the end all that can be said for certain was that between the wars there was a very interesting group of incredible and unique pianists each with their own special sound and touch, it's just too bad that most of them did not make enough recordings in their prime to show us how good they really were. The good news is that there were a number of incredible pianists from this time, who did record in their prime, and who did leave us examples of their playing in a wide and diverse repertoire. This includes, but is not limited to, wonderful players such as Ignaz Friedman, Benno Moiseiwitsch, Vladimir Horowitz and Artur Rubinstein, just to name a few.
@@KnifeLegends124 I also have, and have listened to, all of the existing recordings of every legendary pianist, from Francis Plante till now. The Hofmann "Golden Jubilee" recording (which I have listened to for 60 years) contains the most brilliant, spectacular, thought provoking and original playing I have ever heard. I know some will dispute this, but Hofmann makes ALL other pianists sound like children, learning their instrument. Remember, Artur Rubinstein, Horowitz, and Glenn Gould were all overwhelmed by first hearing Hofmann in concert, when they were children. Certainly, his dynamic style, with its emphasis on "inner voices", is not accepted today, but in its time, it was electrifying, even to Rachmaninoff.
@@angelinadohr4558 The experts were clearly wrong. SR music has been continuously popular since it was written. Today it is more popular than ever. Love it when the experts are wrong!
Unfortunately he did NOT record all his piano music.Perhaps you mean his Concerti?
Imagine disliking a piece of music because you think it’s being played in a wrong tempo, when the dude whos playing it is the one who wrote it 😂
It's a strange world isn't it!
To me most great pieces can stand a wide range of tempo. More important is the connection the artist has to the style of the composition. Most Romantic music can stand a fair amount of variation in tempo and rubato. But if you play Mozart as if it were Prokofiev to me that is not idiomatic, it is not in the spirit of Mozart. and that's a problem!
Beethoven’s metronome markings are nuts, often so fast as to be nearly unplayable. certainly not very pleasing aesthetically.
Too much coffee.
This is the right tempo. He wrote it So he knows.
I guess he would be thrilled to find out that nearly 5 million people from all around the globe injoyed his fabulous concerto. Make music, not war.
Agree! Stop the war against Ukraine! Contribute at least a dollar!
Make war ánd music and make war in music and music in times of war.
I am 71 years old now and every time I hear this Concerto I am transfixed. To hear it played by the person who wrote it is haunting...like hearing another soul in my mind. Thank you for uploading!
cette musique, adorée par mes parents continue à 77 ans, à me transfigurer à tous les âges de le vie... L'écouter dans sa force et sa fluidité originelle , jouée par son auteur me procure une immense émotion!

Maybe not... I understood, he played his music faster than most people can because of his exceptionally wide hands. (possibly caused by a kind of syndrome) It doesn't sound very fast to me.
I find it sounds fantastic, he makes the music come to life. I've never heard that before. Or am I just tripping right now? Not sure...
Classical Music11 and also, only if the composer himself is technically able to play their own music (Mozart, Paganini, Brahms, Rachmaninoff)...Then there are those who couldn't...Ravel, Hindemith etc.
You don't just hear it, You feel it. Right?
That's the great thing abt classical music.
The most beautiful piano concerto ever written.

The best 38 minutes I have spent on my tablet since I bought it 11 months ago. My father introduced me to this piece when I was very young (less than 10 years old). He told me of going to hear Rachmaninoff in concert in Columbus Ohio in the 1930's when he was in his 20s. I am still impressed that he could put together enough money to pay for this kind of pleasure on a draftsman's salary. He never earned more than $6000 a year in his life, but he knew what was important and what to give his children they would take through their entire lives.

My father was a Julliard trained concert pianist so I totally understand. I miss my dad with every breath I take. I was listening to great music from conception. In his last years I would buy VCR and the DVDs of operas and great concerts. We would sit and watch/listen for hours. I would give a year of my life for ten minutes with him now. I am so fortunate and moved to Florence, Italy, in 2015. Wednesday, the 13th, they are giving a FREE concert (yes, free) of Beethoven's 9th Symphony conducted by Zubin Mehta. I will undoubtably cry through the whole thing. It's the symphony I made certain was playing as my father passed away.
Never mind who is playing, or whether it's the same person playing all of it. Sergei Rachmaninov WROTE all of it, and it's the most drop dead gorgeous piece of piano music ever written, appropriate for any time in one's life, listenable on any device, any time of the day, any season. If it doesn't set your heart and soul on fire you're a robot.

absolute True!
I’m a 70+ year old who first developed a love of music in the early 60’s while babysitting for a family that had a Magnavox Hi-Fi and a fairly extensive collection of records that included this Rachmaninov piece. I don’t remember how I stumbled on it but I was hooked at first listen! Every time I went there, after giving all attention to the children in my care and putting them to bed, I would listen to this joyous masterpiece at least 2-3 times a night! Now all these years later I still love this as well as countless works of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and the list goes on! The joy that my love of music has given me over the years is incalculable and will keep on living till I die...
I so agree !
From the opening chord, I have chills. No one played Rachmaninoff's work better than The Man himself. The emotion, the passion, his heart. The music wraps around me like a warm blanket.

@@MikeBrown-ov2ol Likewise , you matter too! 🙂
Concerto for Piano and Orchestra no. 2 was written after Rachmaninoff went through depression and after the period that he followed psychotherapy sessions.
The concert was dedicated to Dr. Nikolai Dahl, with which Rachmaninoff surpassed the creative blockage he entered in.
Perhaps, without this depression, the concert would not have become the masterpiece.
I love Rachmaninoff, the last of the romantics...
One important detail. The concerto was written backwards so the beginning is Rahmaninov out of depression while in the ending he is still there.
Really?? I had no idea! Thank you for that information, Laura :-)

To me, Rachmaninoff is yet another proof that God exists for having gifted him with so much talent. Just like Mozart, Chopin, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms and the like.
Amen!

I'm not sure if you have to have classical music in your life, but when those symphonies are played, a sense of human dignity rises up in your heart, like a ritual, like a baptism, which inspires you. This is something that other types of music are difficult to give, so it is worth our time and energy to listen to the perception, to use it to open up the range of life.
As a kid I already loved this piece. When my father would hear me play a recording he would tell me about spending a $1.00 on a ticket to see Rachmaninoff in concert. He earned $10.00 week. I never expected to hear the person my father saw in life
We are so lucky that these recordings were possible then. But your father was the lucky one! Thanks for sharing your lovely memory. Both your father and Rachmaninoff are smiling! Earl

Hi Felipe, Ravels piano concert nr. 2 in g maj, second movement!
The tempo of the first movement feels so right to me. I've always heard it slower, but here the melody flows like a river, like a dance. And it makes so much sense, in a way that I don't know if I can go back to other versions ever again.
The very first time I heard this piece, I was captivated.

Heart breaking beautiful
there's just one thing i still can't understand - how was it possible to create such a masterpiece being only 27 years old? this piece is so complete, it's just beauty itself, strikes on every emotional level
According to legend about this famous work, Rachmaninoff had been depressed and feeling unable to compose until he saw a hypnotist who turned his head around, and lo, he came out with this!
God given talent ! Thank you for this immortal masterpiece!
+Tatiana Volsung thanks tatiana :)
Simple... They didn't have television. gameboys. xboxes, smart phones, PCs and they had a better education system.
jkfrehsif well in terms of education systems composers were able to attend conservatories at a much younger age, now most people who aspire to be composers must wait to first get through mandatory education before having such ambitions
The story of Rachmaninov is truly emotional. He knew Tchaikovsky in his youth as a mentor and enthusiastic supporter. He was devastated by Tchaikovsky's death in 1893. He left Russia for the US at the time of the Communist revolution. His sad music reflects the fact that he missed his Russian homeland for the rest of his life.
История Рахманинова действительно эмоциональна. Он знал Чайковского в молодости как наставник и восторженный сторонник. Он был опустошен смертью Чайковского в 1893 году. Он уехал из России в США во время коммунистической революции. Его грустная музыка отражает тот факт, что он скучал по своей русской родине до конца своей жизни.
Indeed. Rachmaninoff looked up to Tchaikovsky a lot, and his death was one of the causes of Rachmaninoff's depression
2 Russian geniuses..
You feel it. You have a heart.
It is much like the history of the great writer Nabokov, who did escape the guns of the Bolsheviks, but forever after was plagued by vague frightening dreams of St. Petersburg high street curbs and dimly lit streets. He left Russia terrified of the socialists, and rightfully so. When such a stalwart as Mayakovsky killed himself rather than wait for the new soviets to come for him as they had for so many of his "revolutionary" (but not enough!) comrades. (Or maybe...he was murdered with a shot to the head...)
Thank you for history and for russian translation.
A divine,breathtakingly beautiful piano concerto composed by a musical genius.
Чудесно... никакого пафоса, простота и ясность мысли, которая нам так нужна сейчас.
We are so lucky that we have these amazing recordings by rachmaninoff himself... I think no one else is (or was) able to play his works in such a magical way. Even the orchestra is something special. It is so fresh, natural and touching that I feel I am in a completely different place. That is truly why this interpretation inspires me so much! Bravo!
Este concierto selo dedicó al médico que locuro desu depresión después de la pérdida de su amigo e inspirador tchaiskoski
Rachmaninoff plays only the first movement here. Classical Masterpieces lied.
My father introduced me to this as an 11-year old, in the summer of 1967. I had taken nearly 4 years of piano lessons by that point, and hearing this concerto was a shot in the arm to me, in furthering my interest in playing the piano. It has to be one of the most gorgeously beautiful piano pieces ever created.
My dad so wanted me to love classical as much as he did, but it was about the time my older sister was listening to Beatles, and my older cousins were listening to Cream, Led Zep, and Yes, so guess where my interests went to. 😁 I still have a healthy respect for classical, but R&R will always be my go to.
@@ZippyThePinhead 1967 was also the year I discovered 45 rpm vinyl records and started purchasing them for about the following 20 years. I also really got into listening to AM radio then too, and later, started going to pop/rock concerts.
Я думаю, что этот концерт в исполнении его автора, самого Сергея Рахманинова, - уникален! Он один из лучших концертов в мире и на все века! Ведущий мотив, который пронизывает всю музыку от начала до конца,пробирает меня до кончиков нервов и , слушая этот концерт, я как будто ощущаю себя в другом мире, без войн, потерь... в мир Царства Музыки...
❤
Для меня прочтение в самом г
начале было откровением, никто так не исполнял.
My dream is to play this concerto, but I’m still young and maybe someday I will be able to play it, but for now I’ll just listen to this masterpiece, and watch as time passes
Надо стремиться! Сыграйте обязательно хотя бы в память о вашем прекрасном впечатлении от этой великой музыки!
My sweet SVRachmaninov your music has been with me since I was 16 and I am almost 70 You will never leave me
I hit 70 a few years back, and I'm with you 100%
I'm 16, turning 17... so maybe I'll be the same (or maybe, ill even get to play this eventually)
As my mother used to say, this melodies come from heaven
Well, I only know that I have yet to fully savor it. Because if I have, I would have never come back here, and I have would have forgotten every note and sound of this piece in my mind.

+Claudio Prado dear Claudio, you are so right...
I'd like to point out how Rachmaninoff takes a much faster tempo than modern interpretations.
I've been told he didn't like performing his own pieces. After all, the lack of musicality is horrendous.
Justin Burton Been told by whom? And, there's people other than Rachmaninoff himself that take not only faster, but relatively "non-romantic," approaches to his music.
+Justin Burton
How do you mean "lack of musicality"?
I prefer his playing over other's.
I think people don't understand how he meant it and play it too romantic and too slow.
Rachmaninov was definitely a genius.
Most pianist's probably don't come near him in that regard.
acronym44 I think a lot of my issues comes from the recording running too fast. Yet, I do not think romantic is the wrong way to play. That depends on how you define romantic. I believe that this piece should be played with command. I imagine a very serious character who is troubled yet never shows it with drama. No, there is no romance (love) in the portrayal of this and I think playing this with excessive body movement looks silly and it's a waste of necessary energy. But this performance does not feel particularly authoritarian and simply feels sorta empty. I would love to hear this in the original pitch and speed because I think it would feel more powerful.

back in communist USSR, as young US diplomat, I made a dear friend to this day, wife of a very talented artist, who had a trove of her grandmother's (forbidden) memorabilia from pre-revolutionary Russia. There, with her fingerless lace gloves and her mother of pearl opera glasses, was a postcard of Rachmaninoff, blank on the back -- she was no doubt at a concert of his in St. Petersburg. How beautiful a memory, to be hidden away.

Fascinating. Our house mother of a school I had attended in my youth was an opera singer and her husband an accomplished pianist. They fled upon the Bolshevic Revolution. Both extraordinary talents.

Racmaninoff would hate the people who praise his music now knowing that his listeners love the war against humanity!

> listeners
> love the war against humanity
Its incompatible. People who listen and enjoy Bach, Mozart, Mahler, Rachmaninov, etc would NEVER kill another man or have fun in knowing somebody do sth like this.
@@german21043 Rachmaninoff left Russia because the Bolsheviks took everything from him, even though he was loyal in the very beginning. He escaped with his family by getting permission to go on a concert tour never to return by choice knowing how his people were being treated and fearing for the safety of his family. During the beginning of WWII, he even donated money from his concerts to help his people fight the Nazi’s. What does the war in Ukraine have to do with his beautiful music or it’s listeners since he died in 1943? No one in their right mind “loves war”.
How can someone compose such a beautiful piece of music and also play the piano that wonderful? Just Incredible!
How interesting that you use almost exactly the same words that Alma Deutscher spoke at 3 years of age: “How can music be so beautiful? “ she asked her parents after hearing Strauss’ lullaby m.ua-cam.com/video/7yf_pbVvIWk/v-deo.html and gives her reasoning for making beautiful music, as Rachmaninov has also created.

Да,огромное спасибо за то,что можно слушать это музыкальное чудо! Вот кто любил Россию!
Tbh the rach 2 isn’t meant to ONLY sound ‘peaceful, beautiful, romantic, soothing etc.’ it’s a series of very complex emotions. the reason why Rachmaninov wrote it is because he was “Compounded by problems in his personal life, Rachmaninoff fell into a depression that lasted for several years. His second piano concerto confirmed his recovery from clinical depression and writer's block, cured by courses of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and helped by support from his family and friends. The concerto was dedicated to Nikolai Dahl, the physician who had done much to restore Rachmaninoff's self-confidence.” If u listen to his original playing (Rachmaninov playing his own concerto), you can really really feel the PAIN,INTENSE, then eventually as it releases u feel the ‘reborn’. And I’m my opinion, no one, in the modern piano world can capture this very unique feeling. Many modern performances areis far from this. U can hear his first movement in his own playing is very intense, you can really feel the pain… so yea to everyone who is confused about why he’s playing so fast in the first movement, that’s why - he’s pushing for this pain and intense feeling.
The closest MODERN (not old one but modern pianists) I’d say who can actually capture the essence of Rach 2 is Khatia Buniatishvili. Rach 2 is very very hard to play well, let alone conveying this unique and complex emotion, not even my professor in Juilliard (I did my PhD in piano in Juilliard) says he could do it half as well as Rachmaninov himself
Cringe
@chloe: agreed sans professor whom i haven't heard
It is a mistake to presume that a composer's life story before the composition of a given piece must be what he was writing 'about'. Especially if your sole focus is on the concrete events, with no contextualization with regard to who the person was, and how they were reacting to the situation. It is not understanding Rachmaninov to know that he was depressed and unable to compose for a while, or that he had treatment with what we might call a hypnotherapist. What matters really is who he was, and why he reacted that way, what were his desires, what was he after, what motivated him? Short of reading his own words on that subject, one probably learns more about the truth of this from his music, if one understands it.
But if the only words you have for the beginning of this piece are "intense pain" then you are not grasping what is in the music. This comment is another example of a very strange phenomenon in the modern world, of people somehow not being equipped to grasp what Rachmaninov is communicating. It's like modern people's emotional vocabulary is stunted (which is not to say there weren't plenty of stunted critics in Rachmaninov's own time). I'm not going to tell you what is in this music, because that would be just to give another opportunity for people to second-handedly repeat something they haven't understood for themselves. I'll just suggest that you learn introspection, and learn joy, learn what one feels when loving something great in the world because it is good,. Then you'll be on the path.

When I was 12 my parents put me into piano lessons which I absolutely hated back then to the point where I would sit outside the teachers house for some minutes to avoid going inside. Several years though, I re discovered piano and my love for it was greatly influenced by Rachmaninoff and this specific concert. thank you very much for this video .
As I go through the posts on this thread, yours is so far the best.

One of the last composers of the Romantic era...
What a treat to be able to hear him play. Absolutely incredible indeed.
Каждый раз, слушая Сергея Васильевича, думаю об одном и том же:человек не исполнял шедевр, он просто играл свою музыку. Играл то, что выдумал, рисовал слушателям картинку из своей головы, изображал то, что видит и слышит сам. Здесь жужжат пчелки, а здесь зажигаются звездочки... Вот там... высоко-превысоко! Я сейчас вам достану одну из них... А потом будет вьюга... А потом слоны в Индии...И вот ты всё это видишь благодаря всего лишь пальцам, прикасающамся в нужный момент к нужным клавишам.
Благодарю, блестящий комментарий !

Чтобы написать произведение, композитор его слышит в себе, а потом записывает, все лучшее в нашей жизни приходит Свыше, Слава Небесному Отцу, Который дает Вдохновение и наполняет нашу жизнь смыслом.
Just happy to hear the composer himself, it's like a gift. Another time, another world... We should be thankful! :)
Rachmaninoff didn't play the last two movements.
Я слушала эту запись многократно. Второй концерт С. Рахманинова поразил меня с ранней юности , когда впервые услышала.

Это музыка сфер , из высших божественных уровней !
Это музыка на все времена !
In my humble conclusion, Rachmaninoff writed the greatest composition of all times: Piano Concerto 2. Virtuosism, beauty, tension, lyrical phrases, overture (to me, the greatest of all)... various elements, and each one of them are beautifoul.
Rachmaninoff: the greatest composer of all that writed the greatest composition of all!
Rachmaninoff is not only the pride of Russia, but mankind. This concerto is a testament to man being made in God’s image; capable of creating something with such breathtaking beauty even as a fallen creature. Thank you Rachmaninov, God bless you👏👏

Because his style was considered to be outdated by the time 20th century composer were experimenting with tonality. But I'm sure if people in the academic community start acknowledging him and fully analyze his music, composer at the present would get their hand on to try Rachmaninoff's compositional technique. For example his use of chromaticism, octatonic & whole tone scale, modes, his goal oriented writing, and many more lurking beneath the surface. It's sad to see a tradition of compositional style like this died just because of its use of functional harmony that were deemed as outdated.
