The most intense part of this interpretation is when Maestro Lugansky kept 10 seconds his hands in the air at the end of the sonata. Silence in Beethoven music is the most difficult part to play. Maestro Lugansky knows it and for this reason he deserves the title "Maestro".
One of the pianists who truely deserves playing this work. Still, not programming it into the end of the concert is a dissonance with its historical context.
@@etcetc5592 well, it is some kind of unspoken rule under pianists that the Opus 111 is the "end" of music and that there is nothing that could follow. I read this in one of Alfred Brendel's books. He thinks that a pianist who doesn't follow that rule still didn't truely understand what the Opus 111 is about. Anyhow, I don't want to claim that this is the case with Maestro Lugansky as he has clearly lived with the work for a long time and decided to present the product of that now. It is understandable that his "art form", the recital which is closed with Rachmaninov miniatures, is something more valuable and comfortable to him which lets him also perform even better.
Sonatas simplesmente maravilhosas. grato por postar tão ricas músicas para piano solo,. Carapicuíba-São Paulop, Brasil em 01-10-2022-Sabado, as 16:30hs. estou falando também dos outros vídeos do Nikolai Lugansky que a Enchanted Wanderer postou, maravilhoso.-
Yes, played with a bit of syncopation it gets even more like a Tiger Rag kind of tune! :) (one of my favourite recordings of the work, by Alfred Brendel, did just that). Lugansky is a wonderful musician of course, in the best Russia tradition, and this is a superb performance of a very difficult piece.
The Fist movement is profound and the second i believe is Beethoven swan song Lugansky is on of the great great interrupters of Rachmaninoff but I also think Beethoven many warm greetings Hugh Hugh
У меня другие сонаты Бетховена особенно любимые. Но я очень, очень люблю слушать и смотреть, как играет Николай Луганский. До безумия (простите, не найду другого слова) люблю Концерт Бетховена №3 в исполнении Маэстро Луганского и оркестра под управлением В. Спивакова. Божественная музыка и Божественное исполнение.
Думаю, что только счастливые люди могут посещать Храмы Музыки, где играют гениальные музыканты. А я, простите, отношусь к разряду несчастных, которые об этом и мечтать не могут. 😢 Спасибо что нам предоставили возможность видеть и слышать через интернет! Соната № 32~потрясающая!
