Rachmaninoff - Prelude in G Minor Op. 23 No. 5 

Hi! This is for 600k congratulation performance!:) For the 600k congratulation, I prepared the Rachmaninoff’s piece. You guys like Rachmaninoff’s piece? Typically, Rachmaninoff’s pieces are difficult to play well. I felt strong and powerful emotions in this piece. I hope that you guys like this piece as usual! Anyway, with your support, my channel has been able to grow quickly. I really appreciate your support! Until now, I remember the subscribers who supported under 1k. Nowadays, I can reply only some of subscriber’s comments. I am sorry to that. But, I have tried to remember subscriber who leave comments frequently. If you left comments frequently, but I didn’t reply your comments, please let me know. Next week, I will also upload a performance with an interesting piece. You can count on it! Thank you so much for your support!

You'll never believe this. My neighbor is an Opera singer and almost every morning I wake up to her playing the piano (around 9AM). She often played this piece that sounded hard but easy at the same time and it had a really nice vibe to it. I didn't know it at all so I even tried Shazam to find out the name. Eventually I just gave up searching for it because piano pieces are almost impossible to find by chance. But then I randomly click on your new video in my recommended section and it INSTANTLY hit me: This is the piece she's been playing all these days!! And my oh my is it difficult too!

I showed this to my grandma, and now she is my babushka

Combination of soft and passionate playing makes it a masterpiece

Many people say this piece is overrated but I think it fully deserves it's glory! I absolutely loved your interpretation of this, the visuals are top-notch too. Thank you Kassia❤️

I didn't know I could fall in love with hands before discovering you.

I love how Rachmaninoff insisted on repeating those bass G's from 3:13 on. It builds up pressure and makes the D at 3:29 even more powerful!

One of the most Russian-sounding pieces I can think of-whatever that means

nobody: rach: _c h o r d s_

"I am a Russian composer, and my homeland has left its mark on my character and my views. My music is the fruit of my character, and that's why it's Russian music…" S. Rachmaninoff

this is the best prelude i have ever heard rachmaninoff is for sure my favorite pianist

So how many chords would you like to include in this piece? Rachmaninoff: Yes

0:49 Sounds like movie’s about to start

I was thinking about learning this prelude and finally got the inspiration to start it! Thank you Kassia. Magnificent perfomance!

0:35 - Most beautiful Chord Progression I have ever heard.

Don’t tell Rousseau, but I like this version better than his

ОО, Я ЭТО ТАК ДОЛГО ЖДАЛ В ТВОЁМ ИСПОЛНЕНИИ!👍👍

Бесконечно нежно и страстно революционно... Спасибо, вы уловили нерв, бесконечно вам благодарна за ваше исполнение

*+1: Such an honor my cousin is featured on your 600k* ❤️

Love how you brought out those middle line melodies in the B section! Really passionate and fiery performance.

Subtitles should be: [noice music] not just [music] 🔥🔥damm

0:35 small hand gang, I feel your pain

One of my favourite pieces by Rachmaninoff! 😃 You play it so beautifully. 😍 This is my new favourite performance of this piece

The middling melodies that show up in the second half of the middle section are such amazing counterpoint! And quite hard to play as clearly as Kassia does. Amazing!

0:51 I love that buildup so much. Amazing playing as always!

Kassia captured that very aggressive side of the piece very well. SHE ALSO PLAYED THE WHOLE PIECE VERY WELL!

💖 Beautiful performance as always Kassia

Gold now. Your bright and shiny visuals are really attractive, I hope I can replicate them someday! I also like the nice subtle smoke coming out from the bottom. Wonderful and powerful playing of this prelude, great job as always!

This was the last piece I learned before I lost motivation to play piano regularly... always has a special place in my heart. Thank you for doing it justice and playing it so beautifully.

Wow. Just wow This performance is wonderful. The phrasing, struggle and the middle section, being very difficult to pull off because the left hands action is tricky. You played it perfectly. The visuals are absolutely mind blowing. You definitely need to play gaspard de la nuits ondine. Hint on next weeks piece?

Congratulations with 600k soon! ^_^ I'm so happy you're playing so much Russian composer's pieces. Greetings from Russia once more :3

Браво Маэстро!👏👏👏👏👏

No one beats Rachmaninoff in creating the most epic pieces

I’ve been waiting for you to play this for so long. Thank you Kassia!

Kassia is the best! ❤️

i like it

Thank you for uploading Kassia! This is beautiful!

Yes Kassia!! ❤️Thank you so much 💕!! I asked for this and it finally came. You are the best!! Thank You!!

Truly one of the best performances of this piece I’ve seen! I love the quickness of the tempo that you played it at, some play it slower but I think the music speaks well at this speed. You did an amazing job pulling out the middle melodies in the middle section, and bringing out the subtle “camp” in the outer sections. I’m learning this piece on the piano and I’ve been working on it for 4 or 5 months and I can easily say it’s the hardest piece I’ve ever attempted. The chord progressions and harmonic structures of this piece are brilliant too.

Wow I love this interpretation It's grand but delicate and precise at the same time.

Perfeita 😍🌹... Sonho um dia tocar igual a você !!! FELIZ DIA DO PIANISTA 🎹🎹🎹🎹🌹

Oh i live this

Thanks Kassia for your hard work creating and posting these high quality concert-pianist level performances! This is now my favorite version. Bravo!.

I heard someone else play this a while ago but it didn't have the same passion and feeling as your performance. Frankly, Kassia never lets us down. Thanks alot for sharing your music with us!

Всегда с радостью смотрю твои видео! Ты даёшь мне силы заниматься дальше и идти к своей цели! ♥️😄

one of my favorite pieces by Rachmaninoff, and you played it beautifully as well!

The transition at 2:20 is absolutely the smoothest transition ever well done

Вау! Как раз только вчера дали это произведение в программу, спасибо!))

Amazing and flawless performance, you've inspired me to make my own piano channel even though i'm still trying to get better, I've learnt for 2 years so far and I still need work to do but I still think I could get better, you've inspired me, thank you.

I was gonna ask you in this video to play this piece and btw how do you still remember your og subs and im kinda suprised that at 600k you still reply. This channel is my favourite music making channel. Congratz on 600k ;)

I’ve been asking for forever, THANKYOU. This was spectacular!

I was hoping for your performance of this piece for so long ... and you did not disappoint. The way you managed to slow down to go into the middle part was simply divine

"I paid for the whole piano im using the whole piano!"

This is beautiful!Thank you Kassia,you are really talented😄❣

Congrats Kassia! Have been following for 3 months now and thanks to you I'm slowly recovering my love for the piano. Thank you very much and please continue with these awesome pieces! 💞

It's a wonder Kassia can play these difficult pieces with such perfection despite having smaller hands... In 1970, piano legend Ashkenazy is reported to have said that, in playing Rachmaninoff, he wishes that his fingers were a little longer... So when I say Rachmaninoff would've been proud by seeing Kassia play this piece with such perfection.. I mean it!!

One of my favorite Rachmaninoff preludes!

This was amazing, love the clarity of those notes!

This performance just blew my mind I instantly thought of that one phrase from Your Lie In April: "ring, my piano, ring!" but the words became more confident, strong and even a little bit playful with the music than it was in the original context

Cara essa interpretação fez meu coração saltitar de emoção. Que interpretação boa, parabéns.

Hi Kassia you are doing just amazing videos this video is one of them. Congratulations to 600K subscribers. I hope this video has a million views. I wish you much success in the future because you are an excellent pianist.

Great performance, this is probably my favourite prelude from Rachmaninoff and your interpretation definitely does it justice. The contrast of the powerful and somewhat calm themes that both share the same underlying idea is unlike anything else in this piece, especially when played this well. Thank you for this great performance.

I've been practicing this piece for a month or two now and I see this video and it is VERY well played! Good job Kassia!

Easily my most favourite Rachmaninoff piece. I've listened to 150 different recordings at minimum and this makes my top 5 on first listening. Bravo...

Hi

Kassia is always my favorite pianist 🥰

Оооо Рахманинов. Very good. My favourite composer😁👍

The beginning sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean to me wtf Kassia você é muito inspiração pra pianistas iniciantes como eu, um dia quero chegar ao seu nível!!

This is awesome! I am early. Wow I just started hearing and is beautiful!! Good job:)

WoW I woke up at now 5am and listening to this. Anyways, this is really cool. I love it!

I've been waiting for her to play this one, let's gooo!!!! The expression in your playing is magnificent.

This was one of my favorite pieces to learn when I was in college at 17-18 years old. You made the different voices stand out really well too! Great job :)

Love this channel!

Одно из моих самых любимых произведений Рахманинова

I really like how Kassia interprets each piece ❤️

Love this prelude. Just an amazing performance Kassia! Love your music! Stay safe! Didn’t click fast in the past videos, but if you upload at this time, I’m sure I’ll be one the first ones to watch your performance! ;D

Wow! My favourite prelude❤

After 3 months of lightly playing the piano and about a month of occasionally practicing this peice I can play the first 7 seconds at full speed

Wow this is the piece that got me obsessed with classical music, and you absolutely crushed it.

This tempo... the precision... it is dazzling and crazy...

Isn't it crazy that Rachmaninoff could play this with one hand? Dood was huge.

2:19 is the best part

Шикарно

Finalmente um video as 11 horas
