Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 3 (first movement, ossia cadenza | Max Randal) 

i['m glad you chose the ossia cadenza. There is something wild and savage about it. It is the center of gravity of the first movement. It's like a "black hole" in space: everything in the area is pulled toward it. No comforting rules of civilization apply: the force of that cadenza is primal, unstoppable, incomprehensible.

Man, I wish I could change clothes that quickly!

And such a colossal interpretation has only 3 000 views? Such a shame! You are a genius!

I can't imagine the amount of effort and time spent making this video... Not only learning the orchestra part and the solopart, and also play it together without playing it at the same time... Wow thats absolutely magnificent, great work! Deserves more views and likes!

Absolutely fantastic. What an effort 😊

A colossal job, congratulations

Very original idea and surprising result! I enjoyed it a lot! Simply Genius!

A masterpiece of determination. Keep up the great work Max. Respect.

This is so cool!!

Awesome!!

I really enjoyed your performance. It’s amazing to me that you play both the solo and the orchestra parts. Everything fits together so smoothly. You make everything look so easy. You are an excellent pianist.

NICE!!!! Congrat!

Really great! This is first time when i liked this kind of piano+piano stuff of piano concerto

An amazing accomplishment!

¡Incredible! You deserve a LOT more recognition 🤞☺️🤞

You make it look easy!!

This is awesome

BRAVO!

My heart was melted.

Bravo jeune homme !! Quelle performance !!

Awesome Playing-!

Bravo

For the next video play every instrument in the orchestral part. Just kidding. Very impressive work!

Wow man! Congratulations!

Amazing! Both parts. So difficult, WELL DONE!

That looks like a lot of work! Very nice.

Wow, great playing and even better video editing skills. Nicely done.

Well done 👏🏻 👏🏻🙌🏻

I performed the 2nd concerto, but this gives me inspiration to tackle and perform the 3rd. Thanks!!!!

This is no cheat, but a great creative musician at work. You have nothing else to prove. Bravo

Such a underrated channel. You did an amazing job, you deserve much more subscribers. Keep going :)

Man, what a work! Most accurate, impressive and on time! Really good job on this Masterpiece bro :) I'd really love to hear you playing the third Movement someday... ;)

I'm starting to learn Rach 2 Movement 2 and I'm doing something similar with my teacher :D This gives me an idea what to expect, thank you so much!

This is hard work and determination. I know, I tortured my fingers with the piano part plus MIDI second piano some 20 years ago. Never got it like this. Bravo!

Wow! Amazing! Congrats!

You are genius :))

Dat tempo!

Why doesn't this have more views??

Truly impressive. My favorite piano concerto to listen to (I certainly don't have the chops to play it). I understand why you didn't do movement 3 for this video, but I'd love to hear you perform it some day.

Shirmer reduction.Very well played indeed.

👏👏👏👍🙏👍👏👏👏

bravo！グランドピアノでも弾いてほしい

😮

Are you reading from the score for orchestral parts or a reduction? I'm amazed when I see someone play from the full score. Even so "bravo" for this video. I love Rachmaninov.

Bravo! Very impressive. Would love to have heard it on a concert grand. BTW: what tool are you using for the score? How is it being paged/scrolled?

Holy.... (peep the iconic tablet xD)

👏👏👏👏👏 that's Badass 👏👏👏👏 what conservatory you studied at?

If I were you, I’d look at scanning or notating the orchestral part into notation software so you can play along with orchestra. I think the computer recognises where the piano is if a digital is connected and brings the orchestra in accordingly. Can’t say I know much about it as the only thing I have is an iPhone. It would be great if you could make a video on the process as I’ve only found one or two 👍

Why not add the d,e part from orchestra in the original after e,d,c# when the orchestra at 0:13?

looooooveeeed it. I felt the inmersion. btw you should fix your posture, your back is gonna kill you.

Why do you want to learn the piano accompaniment? It may confuse you.....(well, it always confuse me)

Good playing. Can't say as I like Rachmaninoff though.

sounds like video game music

The orchestral part weighs heavily in the balance. We want to hear the piano solo section clearly. Just remaster it so that the piano solo section projects more. Otherwise, fantastic job.

Well done. You need a better piano to record on!
