Kreisler-Rachmaninoff, "Liebesleid" (1921)
Nikolai Lugansky, 2020
From St. Petersburg Philharmonia
““The arrangements of F. Kreisler's waltzes “Liebesleid (Love’s Sorrow)" and "Liebesfreud (Love’s Joy)” were made by Rachmaninov in the 1920s (1921 and 1925, respectively), when there was a long break in his work due to his emigration. It was during this period that the composer turned to the genre of transcription, having transcribed his own romance "Marigolds" for the piano, Schubert's song "Wohin?" from the cycle "Die schöne Müllerin”, Prelude, Gavotte and Gigue from Partita in E major for solo violin by J. S. Bach, Scherzo from Mendelssohn's music to Shakespeare's comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream", Minuet from Bizet's "L’Arlésienne", Hopak from Mussorgsky’s opera "Sorochinskaya Fair" and a number of other works.
Turning to the most popular pieces by Kreisler, Rachmaninov added to their melodic charm a brilliant virtuosic concert and an improvisational prelude. Since then, from Rachmaninoff’s “light hand”, these pieces have firmly taken their place in the pianistic repertoire.”

I love the smile of the second concertmaster when he gets its liebesleid
yeah at the beginning lmao
Yes -- and it's so nice to see his smile when the rest of the orchestra and the audience seem to sit stonyfaced and unmoved!
@@TomD67 it's a famous arrangement, are they supposed to jump up on their chairs?
@@Marcel_Audubonwow rude
@@GUILLOM first day on the internet, dearie? you're in for a _rude awakening_ if that's your idea of rude
Lugansky has definitely mastered Rachmaninoff's piano masterpieces. The emotion that Rachmaninoff embeded within those pieces, Lugansky successfully interprets.
This is probably the best interpretation of liebeslied That I’ve heard. It is not rushed. I know that Rachmaninoff what is a man of speed but I am very impressed with this performance.
try Tiffany Poon's interpretation, it's also brilliant
Agree, I have heard so many. Besides Rachmaninoff himself, this is probably the best version in parallel with Rachmaninoff's version. Rachmaninoff's version is also perfect with speed but the sound quality in 1920 was sadly too bad
@@dnarvarg I have heard most interpretation. To me Lugansky and Rachmaninoff himself's interpretation are Tier 0. And Tiffany Poon's interpretation would be a Tier 1.5~2 I I would say. Tiffany Poon's version is played fluently, beautifully and elegantly, but it's no comparison to Lugansky's version here, which is far better both technically and emotionally. You can tell Lugansky's version is more sensitive, more dramatic and is telling you a beautiful sad story. That is, the ultimate sorrow is not that simply she doesn't love you. The ultimate sorrow love is that you're in love with her, having beautiful and joyful love story as you can hear in the melody, but also the PAUSE from time to time in the melody let you realize this love cannot last long: it's ephemeral. (This can be caused by War, disease or other factors. We all know Rachmaninoff played this in 1920..) Now the sorrow starts to spread, the joy and suffering starts fighting inside you through the entire melody. Lugansky's Paraphrasing shows all these things beautifully and perfectly.
Also the use of "love's sorrow" in the last episode of anime "You lie in April" perfectly shows the same sorrow as well: a love which is ephemeral. Kaori Miyazono basically knows she cannot live long in the first episode, but she hide the facts to her classmates. She is always smiling and encouraging. And she told Kousei Arima she'll always supporting him. She LIED, actually she lied more than 10 times (with kindness) in the anime, and finally and sadly she passed away in the last episode. This is why the anime is called "You lied in April", and the use of Love's sorrow is perfect here.
@@xujinzhang5738 it’s a very subjective thing to say
@@dnarvarg I still think the key point of "love's sorrow" is how can the pianist shows the sorrow part with beauty. The sorrow in Tiffany's version seems a way too straight-forward to me. While the sorrow in this Lugansky's version is noticeably more dramatic and storytelling.
It's like BIG crying vs sobbing too much to speak, it's different I would say.
Most of the orchestra having lovely smiles when he starts playing. Truly a great piece of music transcribed by Rachmaninov, and wonderfully played by Nikolai Lugansky. 👏👏
There are so many virtuoso pianists interpreting this piece beautifully and even surprising.
But not everyone can show the deepest emotion and moments like Lugansky, Iiterally tearing. So good!
Какая прелесть! Сам Рахманинов был бы счастлив, услышав такое восхитительное исполнение.Это же Луганский! Как всегда, нежно, чувственно и виртуозно!
How I love this man!
OMFG...these uploads... so good!
Update: just seeing my comment from 3 years ago. I heard Lugansky play this in the south of France last year. Honestly, I melted when I heard the opening notes.
0:08 I know this piece
0:10 Oh it’s Kreisler’s Liebesleid

I'm here just after watching this beautiful anime.
Beyond amazing playing by the brilliant Lugansky
Me encantó esta interpretación!!! Muchas gracias por permitirme escuchar algo asi☺️
Maravillosa interpretacion de esta gran obra de Rachmaninov! El Maestro Nicolai Lugansky extraordinario interprete !👏👏👏👏👏
Indeed a very good performance of this beautiful Rachmaninoff transcription, but we should not forget the performances by Magaloff, Charles Rosen and of cours 3 unedited versions by Wladimir Horowitz which are on You Yube now. Horowitz indeed could speed up, but he also 'dances' on the piano and brings out voices I never heard before in this piece.
Que romantico ♥️👏
xd
Beautiful !!
Un régal, malicieux, tendre et brillant !
That was AMAZING 🥲
Awesome! He’s got it all
Magnifique💕
So beautifull!
Wonderful!
Великолепное исполнение!

Aflicción de amor. 🖤💔
Гениально , Маэстро👏👏👏👏
Это, конечно, не Самара. И не Пермь
Великолепно

will it reach her?
I think it reached her...
Kaori loved it... and sure his mother too did
oh shut the fuck up, always the fucking “weebs” who don’t go outside
@@ellechan5028 Kind of rude, although these people are quite annoying with their comments, it's unnecessary to call them weebs and stereotype them
@@ellechan5028 rude
@@ellechan5028 you get lost :)
Les meilleurs pianistes sont russes !
And where is the damned waltz?
Arent the pauses a bit too long?
Its all a matter of interpretation, but technically yes its very disconnected. However the melodic part is very nicely phrased.
Edit:(in my humble opinion)
There's only one problem w/ his interpretation: there's no sense of "Liebesleid".
OMG! Mathematical precision! Cannot be said better. Thank you for the clarity.
