Nikolai Lugansky plays Rachmaninov Musical Moment No.4 in E minor - medici.tv 

That happened today in Berlin during the concert where he performed Rachmaninov! Amazing personality

Same happened when he performed a concert in Lithuania!

super nice guy, low profile, i hope his surgery goes well

@@hatchegg80 what surgery? He had played 3 days ago with the Belgium Philharmonie.

@@chernorizetzhrabar1313 apparently he had a ruptured tendon

Yo nigga

@@enriques05xd wot dude

me too

Its gorgeous, but have u listen to Rachmaninov play that?

Its on RU-vid

technically, most advanced too. But then again, I've never heard Rachmaninoff playing this himself... :(

Lucky you! Rachmaninoff lived in age where during his late years in his life he was able to record some of his most famous pieces like his piano concert! I'm sure you can find recording of his famous pieces including this one.

Jovey Osagie if anyone manages to.... damn

I haven't found a roll of this piece yet, make sure to post if you find one.

***** ??? where did u see korea lmfao

That’s awesome! Music is contagious and the piano is an instrument to be reckoned with. Good luck!

I think it’s mostly appearance lol. Playing this piece at THAT level is a nightmare for the arms.

@@bumbo9506 You don't use the arms when playing. I know that tension builds in the forearms for some pieces, but surprisingly enough, in my experience, this isn't one of them. This wears out your fingers fast though because of how much you bash against the keys with fortissimo leaps.

That's what I was thinking at first : he looks so relaxed. Then I noticed I was doing things with my mouth while playing it, and look ! He does the same :) Although I wouldn't say it is THAT hard technically, this piece is quite costing physically !

@@lafemmesanspseudo7840 if this isn't hard technically then may I ask you what is?

@@batur_psychology19 I wasn't saying this piece is easy, just that to me it ended up being more demanding physically (stamina, fingers and forearms, unconscious jaw involvement ;) than technically. That's just imo. The same motives are repeated and the chords are not the most difficult ones. The difficulty once you master the motive is to reach the required speed (100 is already quite fast with that amount of sextolets...) and give a nice interpretation. But technically, I'm quite sure I would have more difficulties with some other pieces by Rachmaninov, or Chopin, or Listz, that feature wider chords which could be difficult for my hands, or more dissonant pieces like Prokoviev, for example.

Amazing player. You're lucky, he only played 1 encore to the concert I went to, around 2 weeks ago, despite partial standing ovation. What did he play at yours? For me it was Rach 3 with prelude 23 7 as the encore.

Or the best

@Max De Santa of course, how could you top the creator

One of the best player alive

He is the best bro.

Moiseiwitsch, Horowitz, Richter, Cziffra, Van Cliburn, Zimmerman, Lugansky?

Well said.

That's exactly what this piece is about it's about the death of a family member

Same here for me. I have been doing this piece since the beginning of this fall school semester and it has kind of reminded me of the chaos in life and when my father passed away.

It's a piece

@@p-y8210 Just out of curiosity bc I'm also super interested in the background of the piece, where exactly did you get this information?

@@claudiausavage1645 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_moments_musicaux_(Rachmaninoff) look at the background section.

Pay no attention to trolls that dislike things containing qualities they lack - beauty, passion, and intelligence.

No, they're just talentless trolls that go around looking for good videos to dislike, for attention. Which they get every time someone points them out.

My parents, and probably most of my family wouldn't care for this piece. Mom would appreciate it in the sense that it is dramatic and it's a show piece, but she wouldn't want it on her playlist. The classical anyone in my immediate family likes is quite a bit lighter. But none of them are so lacking in a life that they prowl about RU-vid to troll via the down vote on videos that are obviously good.

Jealousy blind people who are trying to find defect in this perfect interpretation. Or people who think downvotes can damage this beautiful performance. Both cases should not use internet anyway.

Probably those downvotes are from deaf and jealous individuals.

musicalwayshere4 couldn‘t have said it better myself

nobulle 😂😂😂

nobulle lmao!

nobulle what's the mean?

신은진 It's a pun of rock n' roll.

lmao

PianistPoland I agree !!!!This performance is the best !!!!!!!!!!!

+PianistPoland in your opinion ;) no-one said how exactly it should sound. But I share the opinion that it's the best interpretation I have ever heard.

+geuros You can check my performance on my chanel, I was trying to play it as Lugansky but You know he is fantastic pianist but I am only amatour :)

... and not only on RU-vid !!!!

Not exactly... but it almost comes near to the sound i intended this piece to sound

Try the Cziffra transcription of it...

ClassicalMMAChef Still wouldn't consider it the hardest, but that certainly is a challenge and up there with the hardest!

ClassicalMMAChef oh comon can you compare with the rachmaninoff piano concerto no3.Dont compare anyone with Rachmaninoff

So true!!! that or Moonlight sonata

Movement 3 maybe

@최석훈 auto like. Más el mío😂

Specially perfect control of dynamics (crescendo, diminuendo)

Interpretation?

You should listen to one of mine...

@friendly Jew what?

Imagine Rachmaninoff performance

@@danielhinrichsen6927 yes, interpretation

Zed O'Haughy try lola astanova, she’s great as well

@@Fatima-pf4yfnot comparable imo

@@Fatima-pf4yf nice joke, my deaf friend...

Exactly. I observed the same thing, too!

67Mannheim 😂

Tschaikowski is still the greatest Russian composer. I’m surprised that so many people are so impressed by Rachmaninow. But, yes Rachmaninov is also great! I wished these guys would be still around. They might have been able to talk Wladimir out of his recent actions.

Не одно из лучших, а лучшее

the best part of this piece fr

I keep coming back to this because the clarity is actually unbelievable

На самом деле или вы ради красного словца?

Вы меня удивляете! Как можно быть таким неискренним? Ради какого красного словца? Мне больше заняться нечем? Я действительно восхищаюсь мастерством , талантом Николая Луганского!!!

@@user-ip1sz2ey4g А вы это ваше восхищение кому выражаете? Вернее куда? Не в пустоту ли? Вот оттого и делаю вывод, что заняться вам как раз нечем.

Plz no hate guys. :)

ルガンスキーのラフマニノフ曲演奏はピアノソロが最も冴え渡っている。他の音の入る余地を与えない程に美しい。

Yessir

I learned Moment Musicaux n°4 during lockdown and by the end of it, my piano was clearly out of tune !! (it hadn't been tuned for a long time but I could very clearly hear the difference)

😂😂😂

Actually this piece might be easier than the etudes you mentioned.
