Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943)
Prelude in B minor. Lento - Op. 32, No. 10 (1910)
Nikolai Lugansky, 2014 Festival de la Grange de Meslay
Rachmaninoff, 13 Preludes, Op. 32 • Lugansky - Rachmaninof...
“The Prelude in B minor Op. 32 No. 10 is Russian to the core. Pianist Benno Moisevitch, in conversation with Rachmaninoff, wisely guessed its emotional wellspring: the yearning for a homecoming that would never come. Its principal motive is a dotted figure, wavering modally between major and minor, that is soon accompanied - and then overwhelmed - by an utterly heartbreaking storm of throbbing triplets that reverberate clangorously like massive swaying church bells, thundering towards a resolution that never arrives.”
Donald G. Gíslason, Vancouver Recital Society

My favorite Rachmaninov piece. And Luganky's performance is impeccable as always, and not too sentimental, which is a bonus.

mee too. There is masterpieces like this one which is composed to move you .... and to test le niveau et la sensibilité de l'interprète

That is always what I love about Lugansky; aside from his brilliant technique, ability to perform the works like these without it sounding stagnant or forced.

I played this piece in recitals(not nearly as well as Maestro Lugansky) and received the most applause for it! This piece has an iconographic connection to Arnold Boecklin's painting, "The return," which supposedly shows someone returning from a funeral. The painting is very stark, showing a black and white foyer in the foreground. This is one of the most aesthetic and gorgeous of Rachmaninoff's oeuvre, certainly one of my personal favorites.

Are you sure you are referring to the same painting as you are thinking? Is it this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Homecoming_%28painting%29

@tatummacsquezzy2803 3 года назад

Having to suddenly flee, exiled in a strange land, someone reminisces on his homeland, his people. Experiencing intense pain and longing for it, he knows that even if he could return, it wouldn't be like it was. His resolve is sorrowful acceptance. Lugansky is my favorite Rachmaninoff interpreter.

@CLPianoMusic 2 года назад

Beautifully said. Lugansky is a genius! ❤

@Classical4Piano 9 месяцев назад

This was written in 1910 so he did not long for his homeland as he was already there

@ruthblackburn6915 3 года назад

Soul wrenching prelude and performance. The clamouring church bells induce a deep agonal yearning that is irresible and demands my attention. Though the yearning remains, I am always left in awe when the music fades away.

@michaeltraub3614 3 года назад

For my taste too slow

@CLPianoMusic 2 года назад

I've been listening on loops, especially from 2:36 and this section is so full of passion, which Lugansky captures vividly. Agreed, sometimes the silence at the end or even at 4:02 is one of the most powerful parts!

@lovettboston Год назад

It's hard to avoid associating this piece with Rachmaninov's exile after the 1917 "October Revolution," but the music was composed in 1910. He said it was inspired by Arnold Böcklin's painting, "The Homecoming." What adds to the association with exile is the part near the end that quotes from the "Song of the Indian Guest" in Rimsky-Korsakov's opera "Sadko." The tenor aria is song by an Indian in exile, about the most cherished memory of his distant homeland--a ruby with a phoenix, which is a bird with the face of of young woman whose singing makes anyone who hears it "forget everything."

@ThePainist Месяц назад

Actually the piece inspired by Bocklin's Homecoming was Etude-Tableaux op 39 no 8 in D minor

@lovettboston Месяц назад

@@ThePainist Interesting. I have seen references linking a couple of the etudes-tableaux to paintings by Böcklin, but not "Homecoming." On the other hand, I've seen numerous references linking "Homecoming" to the B Minor Prelude from Op. 32. I'm not a primary source for any of this, so I could be mistaken.

@ThePainist Месяц назад

@@lovettboston My mistake, the painting was actually Through the wheat fields or something like that, I mixed up my paintings

thanks for isolating the piece from the prelude performance! much easier to access his amazing rendition

@exomin4309 3 года назад

agreed, I also noted the bass melody starting at 1:43 was sort of disjointed (the run F# -> B). but that’s quite nitpicky in the grand scheme of the prelude. I’m searching for multiple interpretations of the piece since I’m competing with it pretty soon-I think Yuja Wang rendition edges over Lugansky a tiny bit. I haven’t considered the sustain on that note-thanks for pointing it out!

@exomin4309 3 года назад

they sure are!

@jungwirthmartin 3 года назад

@@exomin4309 definitely not, Lugansky is the king of the Rachmaninov interpretation, my opinion

@exomin4309 3 года назад

@@jungwirthmartin I respect that opinion, Lugansky is definitely overall the crowning interpreter of Rachmaninoff pieces, but having competed with this piece, it needs slightly deeper analysis of multiple pianists, not just Lugansky. Richter, Berezovsky, and Wang also play the piece beautifully. That's in no way to say Lugansky is a mediocre pianist, though!

He is very good, but perhaps not quite in the same league as the composer and Moiseiwitsch - both of whom recorded it. There is film of the latter discussing it and discovering they both saw the piece in the same way - it was their favourite of the preludes.
