Sergei Rachmaninoff - Variations on a Theme of Corelli, Op.42 (Lugansky) 

You can hear echoes of many of the Preludes and Études. Thanks for all your work, @TheExarion!

Such an underrated piece. And so so difficult, though it may not seem like it, not only musically but also technically. Great performance, very original. Would've loved to hear Rachmaninoff record this. I feel like this is the piece that most reflects his life. Especially after leaving Russia forever.

Wow, never knew Lugansky recorded this! A pleasant surprise to be sure

Var. XIII is my favorite! It's so convulsive and manic! My only issue with it is it's too short, in my opinion 😩😩

Var. XV is very beautiful by itself but it hits very different after all these variations before it. Despite it probably being the only happy-ish variation, it is the one that makes me feel the most sad when l listen to this piece

Beatiful piece!

The theme almost sounds exactly like Handels theme and variations from his keyboard suite in d minor. I can’t remember which one.

La Folia.

The Berman version is also very good

theme sounds like liszt spanish rhapsody
