Исполнение Николая проникает в глубину существования и вызывает очень тонкие и невыразимые словами состояния! Такое извлечение звука на уровне Мага! Низкий поклон автору этого произведения и непревзойденному исполнителю!

You know I just found this piece and I'm falling in love with it almost as much as I do with Brahms, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who hears the parallels. For a Francophone composer who studied in Paris, there is a lot of German qualities in his music. This interpretation is also marvelous
Абсолютно согласна с выражением"красота за пределами этого мира" именно это ощущение у меня было при исполнении симфонических вариаций для фортепиано с оркестром. Обожаю Франка!!!
Merci César, merci Nicolaï, cette musique parle à mon âme. Vivre un tel moment ee perfection m'aide à surmonter le quotidien. Et j'y reviens encore et encore avec le même sentiment de riche sérénité. Merci
Так волнующе, проникновенно!❤ Спасибо обоим!🙏 Фуга, конечно, лучше звучит в органном исполнении, но прелюдия на фортепиано в темпе, выбранном Николаем - бесподобна!
I am researching to write a piece on André Gide for a British Council 'Cities of Literature' commission. Gide loved and learnt to play this. I have listened to many versions here on UA-cam but this one captures the mood of how I imagine Gide playing this on piano. This version sounds the notes quite separately, with less Romanticism in the chords, I feel that this, slightly more Baroque rendition, would have been close to Gide's preferences.
👍👍 NL est un merveilleux pianiste, très romantique, sauf que cette composition de César Frank n'a rien de "romantique". Elle doit être jouée avec l'expressivité nécessaire, certes, mais toujours "contenue", en quelque sorte : dans une certaine rigueur. Et là, son interprétation est tout à fait admirable ! c'est le parfait équilibre ! c'est juste merveilleux d'intelligence, et c'est un vrai bonheur d'écouter par ses doigts cette composition magistrale, véritable joyaux. ❤❤❤
@Enchanted Wanderer: Thank you for this. I have post part of it on Face Book because this wild world needs this lovely sound played by N. Lugansky. I hope you don't mind. 🙏🌷💙 (Netherlands)
¡Cuan nostálgico es esto! Es bello. Gracias por compartir y mis parabienes al pianista. Escuchando y disfrutando en esta bella y tranquila tarde de invierno en la patagonia de Chiile.🇨🇱
It is a little known fact that Franck's famous "Prelude, Fugue et Variation, Op.18", was originally written for harmonium & piano duo (1862). Franck then transcribed it for organ, and it was later re-transcribed for solo piano.
What a beautiful piece, at the organ, like at the piano ! I am almost astonished that César Franck did not transcribe it himself for the piano, he was pianist too.
He actually may have. This piece exists in three versions, the original organ solo, this piano solo, and an organ/piano duo. The title is a bit misleading, as Lugansky did not transcribe this for piano, as I've heard this exact transcription performed by legends of the past.
@@erika6651 Franck arranged his original piece as a duo for piano and harmonium. In the early 1900s pianist Harold Bauer (1873-1951) transcribed it for piano solo very effectively, so much that this version is arguably better-known and more often performed than the original, and to my knowledge has not been supplanted by some other solo piano transcription of the piece. This is surely the version you have heard before and performed beautifully here by Lugansky.
Thank you for this brilliant analysis of this enormous master piece of music. As to the pianoforte recording, thank you for making it. It was very interesting hearing with what kind of instrument Beethoven had to struggle with. Sure, his compositions were to be executed on such instruments but I’m convinced that he would have been thrilled playing them on a modern piano. I believe that he must have been frustrated by the technical limitations of the instruments of his time. Beethoven’s genius is that he composed not for his time but for future generations.

One Cesar Franck's listener experience : one feels as if all his internal organs have vanished, to be replaced by the sea. Incredibly delicious or painful, it depends...
je suis organiste et un in -conditionnelle de de l'orgue et de César Franck, de plus je n'aime pas particulièrement la percussion incisive du piano qui d'une manière générale agresse mes oreilles bercées par le baroque français et allemand....

@@yevheniia_r oh I have moved on to another piece now but I actually got the fugue up to this tempo! The variation was a little tricky but still fun :)
@@yevheniia_r I have been playing for about 5 years but I haven't had the chance to do any recitals or competitions. Before this piece my teacher had me play some beethoven sonatas and now I am working on a mozart sonata because I need to fix some technique issues.
I enjoy it a bit more on the pipe organ, where it is certainly much easier to play; though the piano is equally beautiful, especially when performed by this Lugansky fellow!

Beautiful piece
Resonating performance
Thrilled to see his play in May
I would easily spend all my time listening to Cesar Franck. His style is so special!
Me too.. I also love playing his music..!! So deep...
Мой любимый композитор и исполнитель!
Me too, I believe I understand what you want to say and what you feel.
Such elegant, refined unsentimental playing. Very beautiful on the organ as well.
Melancholy of Poulenc combined with Profundity of Brahms.. Beauty beyond this world...
John Williams used this melody for Minority Report.

Albert S on which track?
Don't forget Bach. This piece always had a wonderful way of sounding so ancient.

Danke an alle Beteiligten!
Magnifica obra y extraordinaria interpretacion del Gran Maestro Nicolai Lugansky!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
Звучит сама Нежность, будто из другого мира...
This music is diving to the core of the soul.
Nikolai is perfect in Franck

Une pure élégance
The sound, Oh my God. What a tenderness. Mesmerizing performance
תתברך מן השמים
I fell completely in love with this piece and the way he plays it. So beautiful.
i think Franck himself was in love when he wrote this.
Litteraly heard him play it live today and so I wanted to listen to it again !
Tu étais à Lyon ? J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir lui serrer la pince avant qu’il aille se préparer pour jouer ! Plus beau concert de ma vie
@@romaingr9121 oui ! Ah génial, c'était vraiment magnifique oui !

На слух такое лёгкое, невероятно сложно в исполнении! Вариации очень сложны технически, так как написаны для органа! Всё очень органично!Спасибо!
My great-grandfather studied for César Franck in Paris in the 1880s..
I wrote a PhD on Franck. May I ask who your great-grandfather was?
@@DustBGD89 Carl Erik Emanuel Åkerberg sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_%C3%85kerberg_(tons%C3%A4ttare)

One of my favourite compositions of Rachmaninov in an excellent performance by Lugansky.
That's not Rachmaninoff

Gorgeous performance of an extraordinarily haunting work. Amazing!!!
Juste incroyable.
