That's one of the most beautiful melodies written in the history of classical music played beautifully!

She plays disturbingly bad. And I have a diploma

Wtf is this tempo

Rachmaninov op 23 no. 4 and op 23 no. 10 are some of the most beautiful romantic piano pieces ever written. Stunning!

"Goodest" - not a word and so ugly!! "Best" is what you meant.

What a beautiful and mesmerizing piece! And what an outstanding performance. I love it.

where was this performed? curious due to the beauty of the ceiling

I'm so glad as a teenager I started listening to classical music. I don't know if I'd have the ability to appreciate it if I'd been exposed later in life. I've heard it's like that for getting a tattoo that if you don't get one by a certain age that part of your brain shuts off. I listen to classical music and think, "why in the world isn't this stuff a bigger part of mainstream culture and yet rap is?" But maybe it's like the tattoo thing...most people never had enough exposure to classical music at important times in their development and now it's too late.

The most wonderful interpretation❤

Very close to perfection - though I think the 3. movement (Allegretto) was intended a bit faster by the composer.

❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊

for the first 20 seconds i thought you meant you literally can't see her fingers 🤣

This is so beautiful.

Eine wundervolle Bestätigung des großartigen Beitrags russischer Kultur für Europa und die ganze Welt. Die Entstehung fällt in die Zeit des Höhepunktes aller Tonalität in der abendländischen Kulturmusik. Es ist in der vollendeten Performance des großen Pianisten wie in der Qualität der Komposition eine Mahnung an Menschlichkeit und Frieden. An unser großes gemeinsames Erbe. Danke für die Publikation. Wolfgang Epple 🎹🎹🙏🙏

Beautifull played. Sad that the audience sitting with mouthcaps. Totally unnessesary (cause the virus doesnt exist we are fooled.

2:44 what's wrong there? I recorded this piece many years ago, first place in Google from 2.000 to 2.015... The world was shaken

Rachmaninov is my addiction. If I listen to one concerto, then I must listen to all.

🙂

I really like watching the written music as they play. I know enough about reading music to understand what I'm seeing and to appreciate what I'm hearing from the artist. Thank you.

I am always happy to see the score since I can follow along. That is a gorgeous piece which is just a little too tricky for me to play.

Love it! Rachmaninov + Sokolov = Happiness!

I liked this very much. Thank you.

Einfach ausgedrückt: Wahrheit, die Chopin's Seele abbildet. Unbeschreiblich schön von Maria-Joao Pires "enthüllt". Danke dafür!

Thank you for making such a video.

It's almost difficult to put into words the exceptionalism of this young and brilliant artist. It was easy to tell, even back then, that she would one day offer the world something worthwhile to listen to.

Michaelangelo of the piano

Phantastisch ❤❤❤

La perfection, que ce soit au niveau de la musique ou à celui de l'interprète

Splendida interpretazione la più bella che abbia mai ascoltato. Grazie per averla postata

what a great piece!

…hearing a weeny bit of a certain piece by Brahms in A in this…!❤

göttlich.....

I am a Sokolov fan but this was really too slow.

My favorite pianist besides Glenn Gould! He's fantastic.

Yuja Wang was born a genius pianist!

Great but he/it needs/deserves a better piano

Astounding, and better than the same piece played by (grown-up) Evgeny Kissin.

I didn't know this Prelude, it's wonderful!❤

Shouldn’t it correctly be most goodest?

Amazing pianist. But this is not my favorite performance of this piece. In my mind, Brahms is all about flow, interweaving rhythms that create momentum toward inevitable climaxes. To maintain the flow, I think it's important not to use too much rubato, but instead let the rhythms move without too much interference. Keep the pulse! I lost that feeling in this performance.

Not only this man's skill, but the sheer size of his hands is terrifying to me! In addition to the playing with hands upside down, the unusual fingering of thirds at 3:15 and pinky glissando at 4:00 are also impressive.

They don't even sound that different to me 😅

5:22 second movement - 5:22 - 6:09 - 6:55 - 7:40 - 8:27 - 9:16 10:34 third movement - 10:34 - 11:05 - 11:26 - 11:40 - 12:25

Sometimes hearing a great musician play a simple piece is even more satisfying than hearing them play a difficult piece, because they play the simple piece so perfectly. Sokolov's performance is not only impressively precise, but also lively and imaginative, with interesting articulation in places like 0:23, and tasteful ornamentation at 1:50, 4:03, 4:17, 4:57, and 5:05.

Ora che hai respirato puoi far luce sulle idee evitare le trappole delle parole spese da angeli e demoni il conformismo dei sogni l' apparenza dei riti. Ho scelto la musica come compagna di viaggio rovescio della realtà che rimane che rimane tra le righe

Sarebbe venuto a splendere con la sua neve questo inverno che fa crepitare le mani sul fuoco e ti regala il sospetto di non poter respirare. Cammini nel sole del nulla per lasciar sulla pietra l'impronta di un essere che si è strappato di dosso se stesso e giace sazio di aver compreso. Tutto

Scopro di morire e nascere attorniato dalla grazia delle rose, ne vorrei una, un soffio di brezza ruba questi steli veloci più di uno stormo di idee, il vento è debole e non copre le voci nascoste dietro gli arbusti. Al mattino tutto è circondato da gialli narcisi

In my opinion, he does play it like a kid: it's not the most sophisticated interpretation. But already his technique is astonishing.

most romantic and emotional interpretation

The early recording of Argerich playing this is my standard, but this performance is absolutely great. Also, I heard Allesio Bax play this live at SMU, and while there is no known recording of that, it would be hard to top it. Those who succeed at playing this piece at this level are rare. Ivo’s playing of it is very well conceived and is truly amazing.
