Rachmaninoff Paraphrasing Kreisler: “Liebesleid” (Love’s Sorrow) - Lugansky 

yeah at the beginning lmao

Yes -- and it's so nice to see his smile when the rest of the orchestra and the audience seem to sit stonyfaced and unmoved!

@@TomD67 it's a famous arrangement, are they supposed to jump up on their chairs?

​@@Marcel_Audubonwow rude

@@GUILLOM first day on the internet, dearie? you're in for a _rude awakening_ if that's your idea of rude

try Tiffany Poon's interpretation, it's also brilliant

Agree, I have heard so many. Besides Rachmaninoff himself, this is probably the best version in parallel with Rachmaninoff's version. Rachmaninoff's version is also perfect with speed but the sound quality in 1920 was sadly too bad

​@@dnarvarg I have heard most interpretation. To me Lugansky and Rachmaninoff himself's interpretation are Tier 0. And Tiffany Poon's interpretation would be a Tier 1.5~2 I I would say. Tiffany Poon's version is played fluently, beautifully and elegantly, but it's no comparison to Lugansky's version here, which is far better both technically and emotionally. You can tell Lugansky's version is more sensitive, more dramatic and is telling you a beautiful sad story. That is, the ultimate sorrow is not that simply she doesn't love you. The ultimate sorrow love is that you're in love with her, having beautiful and joyful love story as you can hear in the melody, but also the PAUSE from time to time in the melody let you realize this love cannot last long: it's ephemeral. (This can be caused by War, disease or other factors. We all know Rachmaninoff played this in 1920..) Now the sorrow starts to spread, the joy and suffering starts fighting inside you through the entire melody. Lugansky's Paraphrasing shows all these things beautifully and perfectly. Also the use of "love's sorrow" in the last episode of anime "You lie in April" perfectly shows the same sorrow as well: a love which is ephemeral. Kaori Miyazono basically knows she cannot live long in the first episode, but she hide the facts to her classmates. She is always smiling and encouraging. And she told Kousei Arima she'll always supporting him. She LIED, actually she lied more than 10 times (with kindness) in the anime, and finally and sadly she passed away in the last episode. This is why the anime is called "You lied in April", and the use of Love's sorrow is perfect here.

@@xujinzhang5738 it’s a very subjective thing to say

@@dnarvarg I still think the key point of "love's sorrow" is how can the pianist shows the sorrow part with beauty. The sorrow in Tiffany's version seems a way too straight-forward to me. While the sorrow in this Lugansky's version is noticeably more dramatic and storytelling. It's like BIG crying vs sobbing too much to speak, it's different I would say.

I'm here just after watching this beautiful anime.

???????

xd

Это, конечно, не Самара. И не Пермь

Try Rachmaninov for a change

The your lie in April song?💀 Kousei played it but it’s not anime song

Kaori loved it... and sure his mother too did

oh shut the fuck up, always the fucking “weebs” who don’t go outside

@@ellechan5028 Kind of rude, although these people are quite annoying with their comments, it's unnecessary to call them weebs and stereotype them

@@ellechan5028 rude

@@ellechan5028 you get lost :)

Its all a matter of interpretation, but technically yes its very disconnected. However the melodic part is very nicely phrased. Edit:(in my humble opinion)

OMG! Mathematical precision! Cannot be said better. Thank you for the clarity.
