    Fantastic pianist. His performance of the Polichinelle was incredible, dare I say perfect; 15:59 he really makes that quintessential Rachmaninov melody sing with so much color, and the way he plays the chords at 17:20 is just ecstasy. The Serenade is also great.

      I’m learning the Polichinelle for my diploma, and listening to this version just points out how different it can sound from pianist to pianist and must agree that this is the cleanest, clearest and most precise that I have found on UA-cam 😮

      YES! Discovered this on 4 January 2017. But, yes, that prelude became the tail that wagged the dog. The problem is that the prelude is so popular on a superficial level, that one can overlook how well constructed it really is. "Not just a pretty face.".

    Thank you for writing such a complete and detailed description about this Opus. It's very interesting to discover and understand the context in which it was written, the impact it first drew and the impressions of his peers. It helps put into perspective how great of a composer Rachmaninoff was.

    I think his voicing is really good, but I just miss a lot of POWER in especially the elegy- around the climax and in the ending - or the famous prelude. These parts need a fiery passion; one that might nearly consume the listener! I really miss that in his playing.

Mental illness isn't just about contemplating mortality while listening to Rachmaninoff and staring sadly out of a rainy windowpane.

      That comment would be more applicable to Grieg of whom I own a recording of the original version of his piano concerto. I cannot bear to hear his final desecration which is most often heard. For throughout his life Grieg continued through revisions to destroy his original mssterpiece, leaving a concerto remnant almost as lifeless as the piano concerto by Scriabin who composed unlike Grieg masterpieces in orchestral & solo piano music.

      @tonytalks9070 2 роки тому +6

      Have you ever played Rachmaninoff? I started learning piano at the age of 9 a little over 12 years ago. I've been increasingly dabbling with Rachmaninoff ever since I was 16. I'm 21 now and yet each time I try learning a new piece by him, NO two pieces by him are very similar. Take his set of OP. 39 for instance. Number 5 sounds like what you'd hear at a high class restaurant at night, no 7 sounds like a transcendental and spiritual experience, and 9 like you're ready to take action.
      His piano concertos have enormous variety too! His 1st one is regal, formal and aristocratic. His 2nd is spiritual, his 3rd intense and his last, highly introverted, exotic and intellectual (my favorite as a result).
      His trio elegiaque no 1 and 2 are very various. His first one is drop-dead beautiful and I can play it from start to finish. His second is the most beautiful form of depression I've ever heard!
      What really caused him to stop composing as much as when he was younger was multi-fold. He had a family to raise, bills to pay and he had to leave his home country due to the political situation. So, yeah.
      For if with age you gather responsibility, cynicism and wisdom, with youth, you have an abundance of creativity, energy and dynamism coupled with optimism about life. Rachmaninoff's youthfulness ran out when he was rather young due to his natural depressed disposition, much like myself. I guess, the old saying that those with Eastern European blood in them (me as my parents both have ancestry from there) is naturally pessimistic about things.
      Because what's a travesty about culture today (particularly here in America) is that if you don't have positive "vibes" or attitude, people immediately ostracizie you. Well guess what, quit straw manning the depressed as the problem. Maybe the happy go-lucky crowd of the ignorant masses is the problem. Or if not ignorant, arrogant in not only being happy, but demanding everyone else conform to their ideology of worshipping those with positive and radiant attitudes, inasmuch as to dismiss the sad as pathetic.
      You know what's pathetic: refusing to acknowledge that much of human existence forever before our time, and forever onward is characterized by emptiness, meaninglessness, chaos, and immutable noise. It takes enormous psychological and spiritual muscle to move forward in life being self-aware at any capacity, but those who are "ignorant" of this appear to be the "strong ones." Nonsense, they simply aren't "aware" of things in a deep level.
      I will always thank Rachmaninoff and his works that I studied and continue to study, for partly opening up my eyes as a young teen and adult. I don't need recreational and experimental drugs, Rachmaninoff's music is my "spiritual" and "meditative" experience away from this materialistic world!
