Tempo is too fast.. mid range should flow effortlessly...no interruption with emphasis on the left hand..which he does well. The tempo would be improved with a definitative..lift ..drop ..to he approach..
This is surely one of the finest interpretations of the current top Rach performers. Lugansky is reknowned for his controlled but powerful technique. He also has a penetrating intellect that helps shape such attractive performances. Just terrific.
The best performance of Rachmaninov in my opinion. It is not only a difficult masterpiece, but also, for a pianist, it is so difficult not to sound as a "picky machine" while playing it. And Nikolai plays it so brilliantly, fluently. With so much strength in the same time. GENIOUS!
Finally someone who brings out all the adventurous dynamic changes, uses perfect rubato, plays clearly audible transitions from one section to the next. The transitions from one section to the next are extremely important and it is a relief to hear someone play them effectively. Power, control, sensitivity, excellent phrasing and voicing.
a bit rushed in certain areas but wholly agree! lovely pedal control! im sure he has perfected by now. my benchmark was Kissin! not a super difficult piece but correct phrasing is very trying.
Обожаю Николая Луганского! Его исполнение на разрыв аорты!!! Не оставит никого равнодушным!!! В душе все переворачивается, очищается, и выходишь на новый уровень сознания!!!!
Nikolai Lugansky is hands-down my favorite pianist right now. I not only love all of his interpretations, but I also love watching him perform. His hands, his body language, and hey, he's not even bad looking either!
Весьма коварная в артикуляционном плане (да и не только) прелюдия исполнена Николаем Луганским просто блестяще. Умнейший, талантливейший пианист современности.
No entendi lo que dices, pero ese hombre, Lugansky es uno de mis pianistas favoritos.Creo que esta es la major interpretacion de esa pieza que he escuchado.Mejor incluso que Yuja wan en mi criterio.
I am not Russian so not 'biased'. But there definitely is something magical in the Russian pianists, particularly when they play music by Russian composers. This is fantastic!
In Germany it's called the Russian soul. Lugansky on that: "I didn't know it until now, and in Russia they don't speak of a Russian soul either. But if it is written about in the West, perhaps it does exist after all ..."
@@KV4671 Richter too staccato and fast. So is Rach"s himself. There is a sort of common sense to a lot of music, beyond personal taste. I think it has to do with the chord progressions and the natural mood they evoke.
This might just be the most perfect renditions I have heard. Simply spine tingling and so spot on. Rach is smiling down on this performance. Pure poetry.
Dear Nikolai, you certainly mastered Rachmaninov's Prelude in the greatest of ways. Congratulations young man, you are obviously gifted. Take care and may God bless, protect and keep you in His caring love for ever.
Mi gran Nikolai, para mi siempre serás el mejor interprete del piano pues tus manos para mi son benditas y artísticas, por eso no puedo expresar con palabras lo que siento cuando interpretas ya sea Rachmaninov , Beethoven o Chopín...eres para mi el ídolo, guapísimo!! Dios te bendiga.
Re Moment Musicaux 4: Before there was speed metal, there was Rachmaninov. This is the hottest, most passionate, fiery, emotionally raw piano piece I've ever heard. It's magic.
Oneil and her family are no clasaroom or a lot people who has the same thing the bus sometimes did you like 3the other 3way you 3are and 2I and 3the people 3PM 3PM are 3AM 3AM u in this month and you are not cameras and the 5AM has been 555555inches 3PM but it 4PM to 3PM 3but is not my fault 3and it 3was 3 i have more bread because it will not work 3AM well 3rd of all museums and you should 3PM it to
Brilliant!!!!! I'm speechless--there just aren't enough adjectives!!! Can't wait to see what Lugansky would do with Concertos Nos. 2 & 3!! (and #1, also, which ought to be played more)-- A born Rachmaninovian!!!
one of the best interpretations that I´ve ever seen.. I can play this piece for over year, but I still cannot find such a vivid tone in my fingers, such as Lugansky... INCREDIBLE!!! :-)
He has achieved a perfection, that most pianists will never achieve. This is not an opinion. Its a fact. His Rachmaninoff has the fiery Russian passion that only 2 other pianists were able to capture. Rachmaninoff himself, and Horowitz. Wait another 20 years, this pianist will be the Cziffra and Ricther of the 20th century
