The nine Études-Tableaux, Op. 39, a set of piano études composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1916-17 - เพลง
I feel only Rach can actually make sense to his music. I can hear EVERY note, as opposed to a rush and mush
entirely agreed
Perahia
i would like to introduce you to Rousseau-
@@kingcvst lol hell no. Rousseau playing is indeed incredible, but only the composer can make the piece make the exact sense that it was meant to it.
@@guilhermeaugusto5839 obviously, I mean, who else to play a piece perfectly than the composer? that's just a fact.
I just like the way he plays it! no one can really be as perfect as the composer but I, myself, enjoys rousseau playing it even if it isn't 100% like the original!
I absolutely love how the bass notes sound at 1:16 to 1:25 Is a unique robotic sound that you cannot hear in the rest of interpretations
ikr rachmaninoff has really good music. The robotic sounds are cool but the hard bass drops you can find on Rousseau's channel
@@kryogenicmx591 Are you comparing Rachmaninoff to Rousseau? Rousseau often doesn't even seem technically secure (even though they'll get a no mistake take after multiple tries).
@@flyingpenandpaper6119 no, since Antepollon Z liked the bass notes, I wanted to suggest to him some even stronger bass notes. And I meant that Rousseau's version of the Etude had a stronger bass drop. However, they do not share the same BPM, and Rousseau has some parts where his beats are not accurate.
@@kryogenicmx591 Rousseau's performances are nowhere near someone like Rachmaninoff or Richter.
@@scarbyte3790 never said they were above richter in case you think so
In the current pianistic panorama, where speed and showing off are the goals of the vast majority of professional pianists, this recording is a jewel.
kzelmer i do not understand why this version looks so slow, compared with Lisitsa, but the time difference is insignificant. Can you explain this? U made a good point
Legendary Clasher because speed isn't everything, Lisitsa had very minimal artistic elements (probably due to the super fast speed that she chose) in her performance unlike this one and my personal favorite by Murray Perahia, and nobody can complain about the speed here because this is literally the composer himself playing his own work (kind of) so if anyone knows anything about how it should be played it's him
@@legendaryclasher3684 basically, Lisitsa is the highest exponent of the showing of TH-cam pianist. As TheGreenPianist has pointed, she plays this (an other) piece so extremely fast that some melodic lines are totally blurred. For example, take a look at the passage that starts at 1:10. Rachmaninov emphasizes the left hand leaps which have a melodic line by themselves, something you cannot hear on Lisistsa's performance due to her extrmely fast speed.
I mean, Ms Lisitsa is an extremelly gifted pianist, but I dont like the show off at all.
@@kzelmer That's not what the person asked. He asked why Lisitsa's sounds so much faster despite such a small difference in the length of the video.
@@legendaryclasher3684 i think its because rubato. To make things more interesting, neither of them kept the entire piece at the same tempo.
The more i listen the more i can here the bravaura of Liszt, a strength of Beethoven, nd the subtleness of Chopin.
You couldn't have said it better!! Agreed! Simply brilliant!
I just hear a big, bad wolf chasing Little Red Riding Hood.
@@4Topwood i Hear a Little red riding hood eating a wolf

This piece feels like someone is following me and I'm trying to escape

@@timmyl8344 yes it makes sense😂
Me too
Rachmaninoff coming because you not practicing!
So clean, nowadays everyone plays this fast and makes the piece looks more complicated I can hear each and every single note. Thanks for sharing... :)
No pedaling
@@koshersalaami There's pedaling, what are you talking about?
@@koshersalaami ~ Yes, there's definitely pedaling, but in this super crisp, clean, and so very deliberate approach it certainly gives the impression that there's no or very little pedaling. For the Master it's not so much about speed as it is precision.
My take on Rachmaninoff's style sounds like the wolf's perspective, rather than the rabbit's perspective. Assured confidence and sage experience as opposed to the over-clocked terrified rabbit darting about and running for it's life, how so many others play with so much emphases on speed. :)
This version is incredible ! The recents versions are awful ... because they're robots without souls !

You’ve never heard him play.
Exactly how do you know that?
Hofmann is better th-cam.com/video/a4L9hI0hRSY/w-d-xo.html
I can't play this etude, it is far too complicated for me.... but if this is really Rachmaninoff playing it...... then it sounds completely different than anyone else playing it.
It almost feels as literally nobody understood his intentions in this piece.
I am speechless. Wow.
It does sound different but that's because he doesn't follow his own score faithfully. It's an interpretation, one only he could make.
Besides the fantastic recording, I haven't seen these pictures before, I really appreciate them, and your uploads too!
How I wish we had his recordings of him playing all his preludes and etudes... It would have been absolutely wonderful.
You can actually hear that Rachmaninoff must have read this story dramatically to his daughter, reciting the appropriate sections in the voice of the wolf and of Red Riding Hood respectively. The etude clearly gives us a clear motive of the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. We hear the interplay between the two motives and a chase ensues in the B section. Finally, after the recapitulation, the etude closes with the wolf motif, letting us now that the wolf is still on the prowl, despite the fact that Little Red Riding Hood made it home safely (I think anyway).
What? No, 2:20 2:25 2:27 there were the three chords that represent the wolf chomping on little human girl's flesh.
In the original story the girl is saved by a woodsman who chops the wolf in two with his axe. The final chord represents the axe blow.
Hate to be the one who bursts your bubble... But that ending sequence is the wolf finally catching up to her and eating her like yesterday's fish supper! The demonic hunt in the b section uses the Red Riding Hood motif, which comes as 3 separate voices, representing 3 demon clones of Red Riding Hood, attempting to hunt her down. It gets more and more dangerous, as we then hear the Red Riding hood theme return, showing that she's still running. Then close to the end, the sequence stops, intertwining between A flat major and A minor Chords, static, almost as if it can no longer move. The wolf's growl then moves up towards it, jumping on her and swallowing her whole. Seems too graphic to assume she got out of that alive. However if I'm wrong, I would definitely love anyone to prove it. Anyone at all. 😂
Is this really him? Nevertheless, I’ve heard this etude a thousand times by many a great ones, but only this version makes me finally understand this piece. Makes one understand how an interpretation can make or break a composition!
I'm not sure it's him either. Every recording I've heard of Rachmaninoff playing sounds much older than this one. Then again, it could be a piano roll performance.
@@raphmaninoff Yes, the recording sound is very good. I am convinced that this is the master and composer. I can just feel him! If it is a piano roll, it is a very accurate one. Some are a bit rough, but this sounds just like a fairly modern recording. The middle section is marked PP at the start, I think, but, in my experience, he often tended to change his own dynamics, perhaps because of the limitations of early recording machines or just on the spur of the moment.
@@CAG2 I think it should be written in the description of the video. @ClassicalMasterpieces1
This is an Ampico piano roll recording of Rachmaninoff playing as digitally remastered by Wayne Stahnke, a former NASA Jet Propulsion engineer with a lifelong fascination with player pianos, and realized on a Bösendorfer grand.
For anyone confused why this very face-paced and thrilling piece is named after a fairy tale, well let me explain. Rachmaninoff's Allegro in A minor, Op. 39, No. 6, is sometimes informally referred to as "Little Red Riding Hood." This nickname might be attributed to the piece due to its dark and evocative character, which can conjure up imagery or emotions associated with the famous fairy tale of "Little Red Riding Hood." It's not an official title given by Rachmaninoff but rather a nickname that has been used by some performers and enthusiasts to describe the mood and atmosphere of the composition.
I have been waiting for this for ages !!!
Thankyou sooo much!!!
I find this the best interpretation, it's not rushed and you can hear everu single note.
Probably because its being played by the person who composed it
@@nytemare3421I honestly don't think it's Rach himself playing. Feels a bit too modern, he liked changing interpretations of his own pieces tho so who knows
@@speedyx3493 This recording is a piano roll performance performed by Rachmaninoff himself. There is also a recording of his actual performance, not a piano roll, in the RCA.

Wow I never heard anyone play it like that. Amazing. Well it was Rachmaninoff Himself performing it.
When rachmaninoff plays it, it just sounds right
He is one of my favorite composers and favorite pianist as well
I like how in this recording you can actually hear notes and passion.
Veramente bravo!! Oltre che ad essere un magnifico compositore è anche un eccellente pianista
¡Wow the quality of this recording! so good, thx for sharing it.
The best interpretation forever.
Thank you rachmaninoff for this music
this is just so incredible
That was a beautiful classic. The etudes. By Rachmanninov himself.
Отличное исполнение. Со вкусом. Браво!
Fantastic playing.
Rachmaninoff was the greatest musician to ever play the piano and probably the greatest pianist of all time
Totally agree. I am not the same after he plays. Not so with anyone else.
Utterly superb, as always with Murray Perahia! Even those wonderfully demented, satanic passages (to my mind) are so musical and beautifully phrased. His recordings will be treasured by future generations.
Это просто гениальнейшее исполнение, шедевр! Лучше просто невозможно!!!!
My GOD! This playing is nothing ai can forget. Rachmaninoff was a master of the piano and also a composer. To day this is not possible I think. And many from the 19.century was more in contact with the history of cultur in their country,and respect for the art..I think..but not everybody vas able to be like Rachmaninoff. With respect

Geez that's sound incredible
Cleanest decrescendo I've ever heard. Holy shit man
Dimiendo you mean 👍
Golden Student Diminuendo
You can actually feel the composer's energy and emotions when playing this. These days, those 13 year old kids and that show off Valentina Lisitsa just play it so fast all the emotional representation is lost.
It's not even shorter. Well, it is, but just by a couple of seconds. She changes the pauses between sections and plays some of it at a reduced tempo, not only making it uneven in a way clearly not meant by its creator but also making the piece sound stuffed when she increases the speed.
Bro beefin with 13 year old prodogies💀
I gagged when I saw Valentina Listisa 💀
Impressionante
No one should think that anyone can play a work better than the author, especially if that person is a great pianist. It may be very exciting to have a different interpretation, but that’s the line measure. I have a gramophone record anyway. One of my favorite Rachmaninoff work. We should be glad that the recording exists. Although Chopin, Bach and others could have done that too!
Bach was born in 1685 there were no recorders at that time
@@arnab2926 Naturally. There has been a phonograph since 1877, which is the first sound recording device to be used. You got a little misunderstood: I wrote, as I intended, how beneficial it would have been if they could have recorded Bach or Chopin’s game as well.
@@SZTANCSEK sorry I didn't have much knowledge
@@SZTANCSEK thank you for pointing out my mistake
@@arnab2926 There was only a misunderstanding. I apologize too!
Amazing piece played by the master , all the recents versions are bad compared to this . 1:38 to 1:52 it's amazing !
I really like rachmaninoffs interpretation of his own piece for a very specific reason. In the beginning he starts very slow and then as he speeds up he begins to accent lower to show the slow and silent rage in the imagery he creates. I just wish he was a bit louder in the middle.
Thank you for the upload. This is from a piano roll recording right? The quality is way to good for a live recording.
FoivosApostolou I think it’s not Rachmaninov playing!
@@giuseppecugno4305 it is
Yep, it’s a piano roll.
I'm not sure about that. I think it's a live recording from shortly before he died, late 1930s
@@josh6402 youre very wrong. This is far too much of a digital recording. Theres not a hint of tape hiss
The subito piano at 0:54 is nice, the sheet music says there is an accent but this recording shows the piano in especially that accented note

Sounds like the 3th movement of his 4th Piano Concerto!
I disagree. I think it sounds more like the 4th movement of the 3rd piano concerto.
How do I know this is real? The audio quality sounds too good to be true.
Piano rolls
Can anyone make a decent midi out of this for synthesisa? Please and thanks
+Rousseau has one on his channel
midi would sound worse why would you want it anyways
Is this an old piano roll, or a modern reproducing piano (i.e., one that reproduces based on phono-recordings)?

Hey, this piece actually sounds like music as opposed to a race to see how fast you can play it!
How is it possible to have a so grood sound quality?
Because it is a piano roll
@@publiovirgilio2238 what is that?
bronx zoo it is like a paper that register the piano playing and then you can reproduce it on ay other piano. So what you are listening is reproducing rach’s playing but in other modern piano in a studio with good mics and that stuff.

@@TheEnderLeader1 makes more sense now
가장 인상깊었던 부분은 요즘 음악 프로듀서가 다양한 소리를 믹싱하듯이, 특성을 지닌 소리가 매우 다양하면서도 그것들의 분리도가 굉장히 뛰어나다는것임. 연주자 본인이 엄청난 작곡가지만 프로듀서같기도 함. 요즘 태어났다면 혼자 작곡하고 혼자 프로듀싱하고 다했을듯.
1:48 I like this!
1:51 BADAABAMABAMABAMABMABAMABAAM
I love this passage too , so expressive and dynamic
This sounds like the audio file has been compressed. The technical quality is, of course, there, but I feel like the dynamics are lost on it. I hope that the man himself would have had a bit more "to say" with this piece.
The man himself... You are talking about Sergey Vasil'evich Rachmaninov maybe?
)
Why are people that probably never played this piece criticizing other pianists for going for faster tempos? Not every piece is supposed to be a nocturne... Bottom line, just enjoy the music.
The better question is why are they criticizing the composer? I don't believe there's a correct interpretation of music, but if there was one, it would be his.
Thank you!!!
This performance is absolutely brilliant, no doubt. However Kissin did it very well too and I'm pretty sure Richter is or would have been worth listening to.
아..
Unvergleichlich.
Me realizing where the dog went.
Who is a performer, please?
Rachmaninoff
Lugansky has by the far the best interpretation of this piece mind boggling good rach would be impressed.

@@natanael4115 much appreciated
1:48 of course he sits down and gets all the ladies
It's not Rachmaninoff who played...listening a lot of time (dad 78T)...
It’s hard to believe, that this recording relates to Rachmaninov. The quality of the sound is too high for that period. Almost all recordings of Sergei Vasilyevich, even remastered, have low quality. Equipment of that period doesn’t allow to pick up this quality. Sorry for my assumption, but that’s what I hear. Maybe I’m wrong.
It was recorded to a paper piano roll originally by Rachmaninov, and then much more recently digitised and played back on a modern Yamaha Disklavier (or similar piano) with very careful editing to put back the expressive qualities of the performance.
@@Huwtube72 Thanks
Why is called "Etude tableau"? Tableau mean "blackboard"
nah, it's coz it paints something
i praticed for a hour and can play one chord in the chord part
The sound quality seems way too good for a recording from the 30s or 40s. Very little (if any) chance that's Rachmaninoff himself...
That IS rachmaninoff himself. It's not a studio recording, it's a piano roll, recorded from a piano that has a roll reproducer. For those who don't know, a piano roll is a sheet of paper that is perforated, marking the notes and their duration. To create it, a musician plays on a recorder piano that punches holes in the sheet of paper. Then this roll can be copied and you can play back that recording on a piano which has a roll reproducer. That has gone out of fashion but you may have seen older pianos in which you can put rolls and the piano reproduces the music.
THIS is how its done. Rachmaninoff did it best, or course.
This isnt an actual player. Not saying people can't play it this well but this production is just that. A production not a performance.
This is a piano roll of Rachmaninoff himself. So you're half-right.
@@JoshuaSobel well I? Love you.
Ehmm, Sir, you are playing ist wro-
Hopefully this is a joke
Really great quality for the time was living. We all know how the early recordings sound and this is definitely not Rachmaninoff's playing. Also had never played this etude for Ampico. I am wondering how did you conclude it's Rachmaninoff performance? I could not find a single clue. First of all you have to know his style and this is complete fake. He puts more accent on particular phrases in order to distinguish the voices.
This is not a recording, but it is a piano roll Rachmaninoff made. There exists a recording on senar.ru/records/ which I advise you listen to, since it's quite surprising that he disregards some of his own phrasing and dynamic markings
@@aidanstrong1061 Thank you for this link. Its cool to hear the real rachmaninoff
@@aidanstrong1061 I think the rhythm is also quite a bit different after the rallentando when the lh and rh are crossing over. He always plays two sixteenths on the first beat in the rh. Also has lots of trouble staying in the same tempo at some places. Don't know wether it's intentional or not though. All in all I think the interpretation sounds very reluctant and "bored".
