Awesome performance, I really liked the clarity of the playing! A lot of the youtube recordings at this speed sound kinda muddy, but the articulation of both hands was really considered throughout here.
Good Grief!!! One of the best recordings of this extremely difficult piano concerto...Brilliantly played, excellent conducting...Beethoven with dynamics-not persistantly loud!!! sensitive warm and then with strength, and clarity....just a well balanced performance....thank you for posting...GRANDIOS
Grand Piano by Peyel, 1880 with the kind permission of Miss Prudence Brunel. A late 19th century example of the high quality and popularity of pianos from the house of Pleyel. This piano was the beloved instrument of a professional pianist throughout her life. Restored completely for her a few years ago, it has a light, supple, expressive touch and beautiful clear voice.
A lot of the final movement is very Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody it seems. For this piece I’d say Rachmaninov took inspiration from Grieg (it’s specifically said that he modelled the first movement at least after Grieg’s concerto), Tchaikovsky and Liszt.
Je n'avais jamais écouté cette première version, avant la révision, et même si je préfère celle plus tardive, cela reste du génie et chapeau bas à Rachmaninov ❤
Anyone else notice the D# played (correctly in my view) when a D-natural is printed at 15:33? It's printed a D# in the 1919 version so it makes sense to play it in the 1891 version I guess!?
The original 1891 version of this concerto sounds like Rachmaninoff on Prozac, whereas the 1917 version sounds like an emo about to cut their wrists - I much prefer the 1917 version, but can't listen to it due to its dark powers
갠적으로 엠마누엘 엑스랑 예핌이 한게 더 와닿고 속도도 좋았음. 실속도가 빠르더라도 그 곡을 잘 소화시킨 연주들 들어보면 조급하게 안느껴짐. 이 사람들 버전 2번은 넘 빠르고 조급해서 뭘 전달하고싶은건지 모르겠음. 저 아름다운 화음을 조잡스럽게 루바토 넘 많아서 울렁거림...하...할말하않
