Hello! I am sorry for the late uploading. Recently, I decided to move to another country. So, I had to prepare lots of things. Anyway, at this time, I prepared Rachmaninoff’s concerto No.2 1st movement. It is one of the famous piano concertos. At 1897, his first symphony was derided by contemporary critics. He fell into a depression. After courses of psychotherapy, he was able to overcome it and write this piece. So, this concerto was dedicated to Nikolai Dahl, the Russian physician which helped him. To make video for piano concerto, a new system had to be prepared. Thus, lots of money and time was required. With the support in Patreon and Buy me a coffee, the system was able to be prepared. I attach the credit for them. In addition, for orchestra, I used Tonic Chord's accompaniment audio file. I hope that it will be helpful for people wondering. I really appreciate the support.:) I hope that you guys enjoy it! Have a great day!
5:24-6:49 is my favourite part of this masterpiece. For a moment it just feels like finally we get to hear the most epic, extraordinary piece in the universe while the world dies, it expresses so much with the background string section. Can't even imagine the talent it takes to play something like this in one take. Massive respect for your Piano skills.
Kassia. Thank you. The second piano concerto is the most influential piece in my life. This piece was in my head, when i had my first kiss 6:50. Also when I had my first heartbreak. 3:00 It is the piece I had in my head during my final math exam. It is the piece I had in my head when i graduated. It is the piece that helped me through my darkest times. While also brightening my happiest days. Thank you for playing this piece. I can't explain how much this means to me. I am ever grateful.
@@puttster7939 If anything, I think it should be romantic hahah But I guess we all had different experiences.... Personally when I had my first kiss I was super nervous so I felt nothing hahah
If you haven't done yet, listen to her Tchaikovsky piano concerto No.1. One of my favorite compositions and her performance is incredible, almost like magic.
제가 클래식 중에서도 피아노에 관심을 갖게 된 곡이 바로 이 곡이었습니다. 특히 1악장이 너무 좋아서 등하교 할 때도 듣고 했는데 카시아님께서 연주해 주실줄은 몰랐습니다. 정말 생각지도 못한 영상이었고 제가 더욱 피아노의 매력에 빠지게 된 것 같습니다. 항상 좋은 작품 올려주셔서 감사합니다. 앞으로도 응원하겠습니다!!
Your performance was the most complete and powerful of the Rachmaninoff Concertos I have ever heard! Thank you, Kassia, for always posting great performances!
Rachmaninoff’s piano concerto no. 2 is my favourite piece of music ever written. You have made my day. I’d love to see you do the second and third movements :)
I was thinking: “Wow this is so great I can hear the orchestra in my head!”… and then I realized it was in the video 😂 Excellent performance as always Kassia, I’m currently learning this piece and keep coming back for inspiration! 👏🏻
Hahah. I can really see that happening in my mind's eye! 😅 On top of that - at first glance (or rather hearing) orchestra underlay feels so real-life to one's ears. I was quite fooled and usually I spot synthesizers right in a heartbeat.
6:12 to 7:20. My god, i cannot possibly explain with words how this part makes me feel. It makes me feel like I'm finally living after a lifeless existence.
Jesus Christ the good sovereign God loves you deeply my friends, you matter a lot to Him :" ) I hope you can get to know Him, the one who did the impossible, creating the universe from no thing

Hey Kassia, I never thought that I would hear this concert from a visualizer. I can't thank you enough for posting this piece. It's been over a year since the first time that I heard this piece and I completely fell in love with it, not a day goes by without me listening to it or thinking about it. I promised to myself that I will learn this piece untill the end of 2021's summer (my level isn't quite there yet even tho I practice Chopin's winter wind etude). Sorry for the long comment, can't tell you how greatfull I am. Thank you Kassia :)♥️
@@hairylegs1319 wow respect to u guys! winter wind is friggin difficult and i could only get past the main theme (yaknow, chromatic and a minor arp right hand, main melody left hand) and that was it. i switched to the mindset of taking on easier pieces to build up my repertoire and now im ready to try my first chopin etude, which i think would be 10 3, as it is one of the more relatively easy etudes once im done with my current pieces
@@ulyssevandamme575 oo revolutionary is a great etude, def one of my favs. my left hand dexterity is honestly trash, and i cant imagine playing that piece. but i think its easier than it seems, since the left hand fingering isnt too bad. good luck!
Everyone here is commenting on the fact that this was recorded with the synthesizer and the orchestra - yet everyone fails to mention how absolutely brilliant this interpretation is. Well done! Edit for self - 6:52 (absolutely loved the character of this part)
We played this in my high school orchestra concert. I was a string player. I’ve been trying to learn piano since. I always told myself that the day I can play this is piece is the day that I tell myself I’ve made it with piano. Not sure if that day will ever come.
Kassia, despite having listened to it a thousand times throughout my life, I never conceived I could experience this piece I love so dearly, so intimate like this(other than playing it, of course[which I'll probably never do it, in this life at least]). I'm deeply moved with your interpretation and it literally brought me to tears of joy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My mother heard Rachmaninoff play in Liverpool in the 1930s. The Philharmonic Hall was too small for the expected crowds, and so the performance was in a cinema.
Как же хочется услышать этот концерт вживую! Надо проверить расписание концертов в Москве 😭. Всегда наслаждаюсь, смотря и слушаю ваши видео, особенно после рабочей недели 🔥💖💖
Недавно был на этом концерте в Перми, выступал Дмитрий Маслеев. Я уже очень много раз описывал сполна свои слова, поэтому в этот раз просто скажу, что до концерта я восхищался этим произведение, но после него я обрёл словно новый смысл жизни и понял, что ничего более красивого в жизни я никогда не слышал, именно в плане красоты и колебания различных эмоций. Так то, конечно, мой фаворит Шопен, у него крайне много мих самых любимых произведений вообще, и он полностью удовлетворяет мою меланходичную личность
I can't begin to express the swelling of emotions forming within me while watching this. Kassia, I've obsessed over this piece for the past year; even watched a live performance prior to the exisiting pandemic (it was spiritually fulfilling), but I had never seen it played overhead, and I could never appreciate the complexity and difficulty of this piece because of it. Now I have. The effort and time invested in your learning this piece is apparent as the end result is pristine. You are wildly skilled and worthy of praise. Bravissima!
This was the piece of Rachmaninoff that made me listen to him a lot!!!!!! Thank you for posting 💙 Okay so, I thought about it and, Rachmaninoff is officially my favorite composer. Every piece of him has made me feel like that piece is the reason why I listen to music. Rachmaninoff, if you hear me. You're the legend and my absolute favorite.
This by far takes the cake for my favorite concerto for piano! This is just by all accounts absolutely stunning! I almost can't even fathom how awesome it is that the other instruments blended in so perfectly with the amazing piano sound!
kassia Pls do Little Red Riding hood, Ètude Tabeleaux no 39. By Rachmaninoff or Dance of the reed flutes by Tchaikovsky next. Pls pls pls do one of these two
Now I can really see how HARD this piece is really ABSOLUTELY DIFFICULT YET BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING I already know it's very difficult of course it's Rachmaninoff concerto
Absolutely awesome! I haven't heard this performance yet but I'm sure it'll be astounding as usual. I think Rachmaninoff truly composed the best musical pieces combining the Russian culture and a more modern western world approach. Keep up the great work Kassia!
This is my favourite piano concerto ever, maybe my favourite concerto in all times. I wouldn't imagine to see you playing it so well, including the orchestral part, thanks you !
This piece has supported me throughout my entire life; as I fell in love 4:22, when I was drafted to join the war 0:31, as I was trapped under heavy fire in the field 5:48, during my wedding 4:37, when I received an honorable discharge 6:13, during the birth of my child 7:47, enjoying the rest of my days with my family 2:37, and grieving after the loss of my loved ones 9:19. Thank you Rachmaninoff for this beautiful gift that you have bestowed upon the world.
Esta es una de las creaciones más maravillosas de toda la historia de las bellas artes. A pesar de haber sido compuesto fuera del período real del Romanticismo (1810-1860) , y ser tardío (1901) supera muchísimo a sus antecesores del siglo XIX. ¡Es divino, maravilloso, extraordinario, y el más romántico de todos los conciertos para piano y orquesta.
OH MY GOD INCREDIBLE I HAVEN'T BEEN CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET FOR A FEW DAYS AS I WAS CAMPING AND THEN I RETURNED AND SAW THIS IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY CLICK THIS IS INCREDIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU KASSIA!
You are truly above and beyond Kassia....this is absolutely incredible! Thank you for performing my favorite Rachmaninoff concerto because I have a job interview today and this helps calm my nerves. Edit: The interview went really well.
This is the only recording I could find where you can see the pianists fingers, so I thank you very much for posting this video that I can use as a reference for fingers if I can’t think of a good fingering 😊
Although I don't play the piano, I play the violin and guitar, this piece has always been my favorite one. I like Rachmaninoff's music bcuz his music just speaks to you. He went through a lot of things personally with himself, as did a lot of people, and made these pieces to express himself and a lot of people felt the same way he did when listening to his music, including myself.
Yeah, the climax is beautiful in this movement, but the section from 3:30 to 4:00 is just out of this world, the transition from a dark, melancholic theme to a beautiful but also melancholic theme. It's like living a long time in darkness and coming out from that darkness, it's shiny, but the light itself feels sorrowful, melancholic because it doesn't mean anything for you now. I relate this to his depression which made him to live 4 awful years. And the section right after the climax (especially from 7:30 to 7:58) is something divine, can't describe with words. Thank you Kassia for such an amazing performance.
Невероятно... Это очень высокий уровень. Рахманинов создавал очень красивые, сложные и оригинальные произведения. Даже сыграть такое - уже круто. Я восхищаюсь его творчеством. Спасибо, что сыграла это, Kassia!
@@he1zouu I really don't think that's "sacrilegious". Everyone enjoys different things - so be it. Let's be glad we get to have this experience, and let others have theirs with other music.

Не могу передать словами все те чувства и эмоции, которые распирают меня, при прослушивании Вашего видео! Эх, если бы только на UA-cam можно было ставить более 1 лайка...
Kassia do you speak Russian, Kassia? I’m learning right now, and it’s very bad, but hopefully I can someday be fluent. I love your channel and interpretations and listen to you a lot. Я тебя люблю ❤️
I love her, Anna Fedorova, for me she is the best performer of this popular concerto piece. As much as Martha Argerich’s Jazzy Ravel’s G Major. But yours are incredible. Valentina Lisitsa is the best for Beethoven’s and Lizst’s, she is sure fast, but you are comparable to her fingers, fast and accurate, I love your performances, its been my 5th times listening your Rachmaninoff, Kassia, never getting bored and will not. I wonder when are you going to perform this concerto in a stage (not sure when the pandemic will be over). It will be different, with this incredibly great timing with the other orchestral intruments, than the real orchestra with a conductor and real performer and audience present. I am male, but I love how females can be so strong with her personalities and skills on a performance. They’re nourishing my souls. Thank you for the joyful nourishing performance.
There's truly only a handful of people walking planet Earth at any given time that can pull off this tremendous piece. And I always think of the fact that must have been going through the composers mind when they would have written such pieces. I've seen it live twice and each time it's a life changing experience. Great job playing the first movement Kassia.
I... I am just absolutely blown away. Everything seems so bleak and hopeless lately, yet this wonderful piece can still exist regardless of everything that is going on. I had tears in my eyes for many parts during this performance, everything about it is so perfect. I can tell you spent a lot of time preparing for this. Thank you for playing and uploading this to share with all of us.
It's unimaginable and out of logic what a simple interpretation can do to one's emotions. Kassia, you're for sure one of the best pianist I've known, if not the best. I really hope that one day I can see your performance on stage, wether it's in Brazil or anywhere in the world. Gread job as always. Keep it up!!
I've watched this movie in french class and I was the only person who appreciated classical music. The whole class thought the movie was boring and I was like: shut up you uncultured swine!
@Sethy Sonta if someone didn't knew about classical music existence, or not even knowing which was, for instance, Mozart, I would say they are uncultured. But is quite similar to what Evgeny Kissin said recently, something like "I don't even know what reggaeton is". He is an amazing pianist, but for me that shows a very low level of musical culture (obviously not in classical music).
This is so beautiful! I cant believe how beautiful this is! The orchestra effect is Amazing! The effects are amazing, as always, and the dificulty is insane. This inspires me to continue practicing and learning new pieces, a big Thank You! Also, sorry for bad English
Absolutely amazing, you're amazing!💕 😀 I love Rachmaninoff's music! Getting the orchestra sound too is awesome! 😀 I showed/shared this video to a couple of friends and they loved it. 🙂 I was checking for the new video and I saw this first when I got a notification when you uploaded, I only got round to commenting now. Hopefully everything works out for you in the country you moved to and your new home! 💕
Hi, Stephen! Sorry for the late response. I was very busy because I have to prepare to move. I will move about 1 month later. I am really happy that you like this performance with orchestra. I am trying to make good videos for my subscribers including you!:) Have a good day! And, Keep safe!💕
@@Kassiapiano Don't worry about the late response, I'm happy you're responding at all. :) Good luck with the move then, it must take a lot of time and effort, especially when you already practice 40hrs a day. Your videos are always amazing, I do love this performance, this piece looks incredibly difficult, maybe I'll be able to play it in 30 years time, if I practice.😀 Have a good day yourself and keep safe too! 💕
Kassia, I feel your skills and effects are improving very quickly. In this video, effects were great. Also, I could hear orchestra. So I could recognize your skills are improving. Have a nice day, and I hope you move your country without any problems:) Beware of COVID-19! Love from Korea 🇰🇷 💘

I can’t express with words how amazing this is do you think you can do the 2nd or 3rd movement of this same concert? This is just so incredible, thanks for doing this
For there is no other music piece greater than Rachmaninov Piano concerto 2, it will soar into eternity as I hope that God respects this timeless piece.
Hello! I am sorry for the late uploading. Recently, I decided to move to another country. So, I had to prepare lots of things. Anyway, at this time, I prepared Rachmaninoff’s concerto No.2 1st movement. It is one of the famous piano concertos. At 1897, his first symphony was derided by contemporary critics. He fell into a depression. After courses of psychotherapy, he was able to overcome it and write this piece. So, this concerto was dedicated to Nikolai Dahl, the Russian physician which helped him. To make video for piano concerto, a new system had to be prepared. Thus, lots of money and time was required. With the support in Patreon and Buy me a coffee, the system was able to be prepared. I attach the credit for them. In addition, for orchestra, I used Tonic Chord's accompaniment audio file. I hope that it will be helpful for people wondering. I really appreciate the support.:) I hope that you guys enjoy it! Have a great day!

Viva Kassia
3:53 is prolly my favorite melody of all time
/I’m very arroused
And I meant to use two R’s...that’s how arroused I am

Rachmaninoff had a gift for writing tender, warm melodies, longing for something, somewhere, forever lost.
Its funny I have been obsessed with this melody and exact part of the score for a few days now. Its so emotionally charged.

Out of all the people that i thought would upload this, it was you. This is one of my favorite pieces thank you so much
This was the piece of Rachmaninoff that made me listen to him a lot!!!!!! Thank you for posting 💙
Okay so, I thought about it and, Rachmaninoff is officially my favorite composer. Every piece of him has made me feel like that piece is the reason why I listen to music. Rachmaninoff, if you hear me. You're the legend and my absolute favorite.
This by far takes the cake for my favorite concerto for piano! This is just by all accounts absolutely stunning! I almost can't even fathom how awesome it is that the other instruments blended in so perfectly with the amazing piano sound!
Omg your actually playing one of the best pieces ever! thank you Im gonna listen to it now
Thank you, Sam:)💕
kassia Pls do Little Red Riding hood, Ètude Tabeleaux no 39. By Rachmaninoff or Dance of the reed flutes by Tchaikovsky next. Pls pls pls do one of these two
@@Kassiapiano Rach 3 3rd movement pls. :)
Любимый концерт любимого композитора, спасибо. С таким исполнением играть можно где угодно.
ラフマニノフは炎が揺らいでるような部分に魅力を感じるので、この動画ではより美しく表現されてるのをじっと聞き入りました。
Chills run up my spine when the wave of arpeggios start to take flight and, then manage to soar above us all...Rach is the king of Height.
makes sense since he was 6'6
Something about the bass F in the beginning is just so satisfying to hear.
Now I can really see how HARD this piece is really
ABSOLUTELY DIFFICULT YET BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING
I already know it's very difficult of course it's Rachmaninoff concerto
Anything that's labelled with the name "Rachmaninoff" is guarantee to break your fingers.
It s easy compared to rachmaninoff 3rd concerto
@@costelconstantin4845 I've played both, and for me the second one is only just slightly easier
@@costelconstantin4845 true but actually difficult
tbh the first movement looks easier after i saw this
Absolutely awesome! I haven't heard this performance yet but I'm sure it'll be astounding as usual. I think Rachmaninoff truly composed the best musical pieces combining the Russian culture and a more modern western world approach. Keep up the great work Kassia!
This is my favourite piano concerto ever, maybe my favourite concerto in all times. I wouldn't imagine to see you playing it so well, including the orchestral part, thanks you !
This piece has supported me throughout my entire life; as I fell in love 4:22, when I was drafted to join the war 0:31, as I was trapped under heavy fire in the field 5:48, during my wedding 4:37, when I received an honorable discharge 6:13, during the birth of my child 7:47, enjoying the rest of my days with my family 2:37, and grieving after the loss of my loved ones 9:19. Thank you Rachmaninoff for this beautiful gift that you have bestowed upon the world.
Really? What war were you drafted for?
As a teenager, I am excited for life after looking at this.
@@adityagandhi5040 same
I actually cried reading this idk why…
Esta es una de las creaciones más maravillosas de toda la historia de las bellas artes. A pesar de haber sido compuesto fuera del período real del Romanticismo (1810-1860) , y ser tardío (1901) supera muchísimo a sus antecesores del siglo XIX. ¡Es divino, maravilloso, extraordinario, y el más romántico de todos los conciertos para piano y orquesta.
OH MY GOD INCREDIBLE
I HAVEN'T BEEN CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET FOR A FEW DAYS AS I WAS CAMPING AND THEN I RETURNED AND SAW THIS IN MY RECOMMENDATIONS AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY CLICK
THIS IS INCREDIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU KASSIA!
Clicked so fast omg, the first piano concerto on any of these piano channels ✨💥
Nope... Rubatissimo did it first. But still its great
@@aseempawaskar oh ok, thanks
Thank you, Matteo!:)💕
Essa música além de incrível e absolutamente difícil, não sei de onde você arruma a paciência de tocar mas você e incrível
9:57 - 10:22 in this part i feel like there is fairys around me which hanging little yellow lights in a dark forest. You played awesome!
I took piano lessons but I never got good enough to have smoke coming off the keys. Amazing.
Omg yes finally! Rachmaninoff approved this! Splendid interpretation Kassia!👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼❤️❤️
Как раз искал второй концерт в таком исполнении. Мой любимый. Это потрясающе!
You are truly above and beyond Kassia....this is absolutely incredible! Thank you for performing my favorite Rachmaninoff concerto because I have a job interview today and this helps calm my nerves.
Edit: The interview went really well.
Piano Spiel good luck man! praying for you :)
@@marce_h579 Thank you SO much!
Thank you, Piano Spiel!!:) Have you finished the job interview well?:)
@@Kassiapiano It went very well, I think I got the job!! Thanks for asking!! 💕😊
This is the only recording I could find where you can see the pianists fingers, so I thank you very much for posting this video that I can use as a reference for fingers if I can’t think of a good fingering 😊
His piano concerto no. 2 has the single greatest opening of all time.
Although I don't play the piano, I play the violin and guitar, this piece has always been my favorite one. I like Rachmaninoff's music bcuz his music just speaks to you. He went through a lot of things personally with himself, as did a lot of people, and made these pieces to express himself and a lot of people felt the same way he did when listening to his music, including myself.
Yeah, the climax is beautiful in this movement, but the section from 3:30 to 4:00 is just out of this world, the transition from a dark, melancholic theme to a beautiful but also melancholic theme. It's like living a long time in darkness and coming out from that darkness, it's shiny, but the light itself feels sorrowful, melancholic because it doesn't mean anything for you now. I relate this to his depression which made him to live 4 awful years. And the section right after the climax (especially from 7:30 to 7:58) is something divine, can't describe with words. Thank you Kassia for such an amazing performance.
Thank you for your long comment!:)💕
OMG I paused my Rachmaninoff concerto 2 to watch this.
And with orchestra too!
Amazing!!!
Yeah now I want the other two movements and the other concertos.
Невероятно... Это очень высокий уровень. Рахманинов создавал очень красивые, сложные и оригинальные произведения. Даже сыграть такое - уже круто. Я восхищаюсь его творчеством. Спасибо, что сыграла это, Kassia!

Incredible. Absolutely inspiring. Ill get here one day
hell yeah
We all will.
Wow, I hear violin. Will you add the orchestra to Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto?
I will consider it:) For it, I have to play it again. lol Thank you! 💕
KassiaPls do Little Red Riding hood, Ètude Tabeleaux no 39. By Rachmaninoff or Dance of the reed flutes by Tchaikovsky next. Pls pls pls do one of these two
Poor Kassia, You give she a Lot of work
The unabridged first movement is really long thats the thing
@@pablovalverde3542 its ok m8, she can handel it
I always love the part at 2:25 when tension is built up, but rather just droped istead of resolved.
Great performance btw
Everyone is talking about 6:51 but in my opinion 2:37 is extra beautiful
Обалдеть, как же это сложно! Но как же это красиво звучит!!!
Не могу передать словами все те чувства и эмоции, которые распирают меня, при прослушивании Вашего видео! Эх, если бы только на UA-cam можно было ставить более 1 лайка...
Спасибо!💕
Kassia do you speak Russian, Kassia? I’m learning right now, and it’s very bad, but hopefully I can someday be fluent.
I love your channel and interpretations and listen to you a lot. Я тебя люблю ❤️
@@angrypotato1347 ok puñetas
Incredible kassia. So much respect for your piano skills!
Thank you so much, Leuvre!:)💕
Love this! Can’t wait for the 2nd movement!! Btw, How did you put the orchestra background?
This piece is so inspirational. Especially 6:07 to 7:19!
Agreed
I love her, Anna Fedorova, for me she is the best performer of this popular concerto piece. As much as Martha Argerich’s Jazzy Ravel’s G Major. But yours are incredible.
Valentina Lisitsa is the best for Beethoven’s and Lizst’s, she is sure fast, but you are comparable to her fingers, fast and accurate, I love your performances, its been my 5th times listening your Rachmaninoff, Kassia, never getting bored and will not.
I wonder when are you going to perform this concerto in a stage (not sure when the pandemic will be over). It will be different, with this incredibly great timing with the other orchestral intruments, than the real orchestra with a conductor and real performer and audience present.
I am male, but I love how females can be so strong with her personalities and skills on a performance. They’re nourishing my souls. Thank you for the joyful nourishing performance.
Omg. My most favorite piano concerto. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart
Oh i can't believe you posted this, one of my favorite concertos. My heart melts everytime i hear this piece!
You belong sitting on a stage, your graceful hands gliding along on a grand piano, the orchestra behind you accompanying your beautiful sounds.
There's truly only a handful of people walking planet Earth at any given time that can pull off this tremendous piece. And I always think of the fact that must have been going through the composers mind when they would have written such pieces. I've seen it live twice and each time it's a life changing experience. Great job playing the first movement Kassia.
I... I am just absolutely blown away. Everything seems so bleak and hopeless lately, yet this wonderful piece can still exist regardless of everything that is going on. I had tears in my eyes for many parts during this performance, everything about it is so perfect. I can tell you spent a lot of time preparing for this. Thank you for playing and uploading this to share with all of us.
Gosh, it is my favorite piece! Thx for playing it!
It's unimaginable and out of logic what a simple interpretation can do to one's emotions. Kassia, you're for sure one of the best pianist I've known, if not the best. I really hope that one day I can see your performance on stage, wether it's in Brazil or anywhere in the world. Gread job as always. Keep it up!!
The young guy played this in the movie Au Bout des Doigts. Awesome performance, Kassia :)
Thank you!:)💕
I've watched this movie in french class and I was the only person who appreciated classical music. The whole class thought the movie was boring and I was like: shut up you uncultured swine!
@@daansijben7305 classical music is not for everyone (as any other music genre), you shouldn't consider someone uncultured because of that.
Daan Sijben nice to find someone else at a school age who can also appreciate classical music
@Sethy Sonta if someone didn't knew about classical music existence, or not even knowing which was, for instance, Mozart, I would say they are uncultured. But is quite similar to what Evgeny Kissin said recently, something like "I don't even know what reggaeton is". He is an amazing pianist, but for me that shows a very low level of musical culture (obviously not in classical music).
As a ballet dancer, this is one of my favorite pieces to dance to. absolutely love this!
That'd be quite a view I must say!
I just saw it in my mind's eye - and instantly need to Google if such a choreography exist on UA-cam somewhere
how would you dance to this 😅
jesus christ just wow, people have been driven to insanity learning this concerto and she pulled it off perfectly
This is so beautiful! I cant believe how beautiful this is! The orchestra effect is Amazing! The effects are amazing, as always, and the dificulty is insane. This inspires me to continue practicing and learning new pieces, a big Thank You!
Also, sorry for bad English
Hi, Vuk! Sorry for the late response. I am so busy because of preparing to move. Thank you so much for your comments!💕
Absolutely amazing, you're amazing!💕 😀 I love Rachmaninoff's music! Getting the orchestra sound too is awesome! 😀
I showed/shared this video to a couple of friends and they loved it. 🙂
I was checking for the new video and I saw this first when I got a notification when you uploaded, I only got round to commenting now.
Hopefully everything works out for you in the country you moved to and your new home! 💕
Hi, Stephen! Sorry for the late response. I was very busy because I have to prepare to move. I will move about 1 month later. I am really happy that you like this performance with orchestra. I am trying to make good videos for my subscribers including you!:) Have a good day! And, Keep safe!💕
@@Kassiapiano Don't worry about the late response, I'm happy you're responding at all. :)
Good luck with the move then, it must take a lot of time and effort, especially when you already practice 40hrs a day.
Your videos are always amazing, I do love this performance, this piece looks incredibly difficult, maybe I'll be able to play it in 30 years time, if I practice.😀 Have a good day yourself and keep safe too! 💕
This is revolutionary, you are one of the one one that I am aware of to have uploaded a concerto with this visualization system.
I like how the piano can sound so calm, nice and slow, and so dangerous, menacing, loud and profound, what a beautiful instrument earth was given.
your playing is a big inspiration for those who cannot reach a ninth comfortably! Thank you! Maybe ill learn this piece in the future also :)
Sad
not even a NINTH? wow. props to small handed pianists.

앞으로도 좋은 곡 많이 쳐주십시오!
그럼 오늘도 잘 듣고 갑니다 ;)
I can’t express with words how amazing this is do you think you can do the 2nd or 3rd movement of this same concert? This is just so incredible, thanks for doing this
4:42 hands down best piano cascade down in classical music.
That augmented 5th
This piece plays almost 24/7 in my head. You definitely do it justice. I hope you'll do movement 2 as well
Maybe the best classical piece ever written. Superb performance
Eu adoro tanto está peça!
Adoro-te Kassia, continua!
Obrigada!💕
O prazer é meu 💕
@@Kassiapiano Kassia, do you really understand portuguese or you used translator? :D
@@imdark7372 She is Brasilian, I think
@@tomaspereiramartins2450 sim, mas ainda não sei bem
Those first 30 seconds though and then the orchestra hits... Just perfect. Only Rachmaninoff could make notes so low work... Amazing performance!
For there is no other music piece greater than Rachmaninov Piano concerto 2, it will soar into eternity as I hope that God respects this timeless piece.
