“In 1911 Rachmaninov, who had already created such traditional cycles as the Moments Musicaux and the Préludes, reverts to the genre of piano miniature. Here he creates his famous cycle Op. 33, a cycle unprecedented in piano repertoire. These pieces did not receive their name immediately; at their first performance in December 1911, the pieces in F minor, E♭major and C# minor were announced as “Préludes-Tableaux”, and only some time later the author coined their name as “Études-Tableaux.”
The name, which remains unique in the history of music, came naturally to Rachmaninov since many of his works are inspired by visual images. A picture of A. Böcklin inspired the composer to create his symphonic poem "The Isle of the Dead", Op. 29. ''Tableaux" - that was the subtitle of his first Suite (Fantasy) for two pianos, Op. 5. "Étude" suggests the virtuosity of Rachmaninov's pianistic art.
In contrast to the Préludes and Moments Musicaux that usually reflect fleeting changes of the composer's inner world, the Études-Tableaux create epic symbolic images which add up to make a grandiose Tableau de Russe. Written before the cataclysm which was to transform Russia, they were imbued with the very essence of Russia - her people and nature, griefs and festivities, her mysterious spirit - from folklore tales to ascetic clerical culture, that mystic aureole of the "Holy Russia" of Tyutchev's famous lines:
Not by the mind is Russia understood,
Nor is she measured by a common rule:
She has a special stature of her own,
In Russia one can only put his faith."
- Lugansky - เพลง

Finally the owner of these études comes back to them!
totally agree with you he is the owner
Just discovered him ... Yes! 100% ..agree
What a pianist, Lugansky! The tradition of the great Russian pianists continues, after Richter died and Ashkenazy stopped playing, the gap was succesfully filled with the great Nikolai Lugansky and this interpretation is the proof of it!
Mazzel Tov agreed, Boris Berezovsky is amazing
I completely agree. He's one of my favourite pianist on the Rach etudes
Honestly, it took a long time and much listening to Rachmaninoff's Op. 39 for me to appreciate this incredible work. I listened to several different interpretations of it, but I found Lugansky's to be the best , not only to understand Op. 39, but to enjoy it and to love it.
P.S. My condolences for the great loss of Alexander Vedernikov. He is and will continue to be missed by music lovers around the world.
This comment is 24-Karat gold. It took me nearly 3 months for me to understand Rachmaninoff's works; especially Op. 39 No. 1 and Op. 39 No. 6, in contrast to some of his other pieces such as Op. 39 No.8 and Op. 33 No. 6, which are much more "musically adept," if you could call them so.
@@nishyanthkumar op.39 no.8 is the opposite of musically adept
Try gryaznov if you haven't, not saying it's better but worth a listen imo.
His total mastery of the piano is nothing short of genius, particularly in his deep understanding of Rachmaninoff's music. The pure perfection of his execution and the eloquent finesse of his unsurpassed interpretations place him beyond comparison. A unique and irreplaceable musician devoted to serving our perception of musical beauty with his unparalleled artistry. We thank God for Mozart and other great masters - Nikolai Lugansky in his medium is in the same category.
So natural, a sign of living with these pieces in your fingers for decades
Lugansky makes everything sound like that though.
Nobody can touch him. The most gifted pianist the world will probably ever see - or hear.
Malofeev is rising. He's the new Lugansky.
Lisitsa can, even better
Sokolov
for Rachmaninov yes
I think Lugansky, Volodos and Gryaznov are all incredible pianists for this kind of music.
I can't think of another pianist who can play Rachmaninov with the same depth, lyricism and artistry as Lugansky. It's really unbelievable. Maybe Richter sometimes but I'm not sure.
Horowitz, please...
But I have yet to hear any other pianist play Rachmaninoff's Polichinelle, Op.3, ,#4 in f# minor or his Humoresque, Op.10, #5 in G major with the kind of humor Rachmaninoff had in mind for both pieces.
I totally agree with you. I love so much his performances. And he is comparable to nobody else for me at this.
hmm not even rachmaninoff himself? :P (he has some recordings too)
Boris Giltburg played quiet well too but overall Lugansky is the real deal.
Lugansky and Volodos are two of the very few people who are still playing op.39 no.8 in public. Apparently, pianists don't like to play this etude, maybe because of the doubles in the right hand combined with the key the piece is written in. The etude is kind of risky to perform without sufficient preparation. You can't just trust you memory for this piece, it seems.
Richter never played the etude in public (at least as far as I have been able to check), Horowitz didn't play the etude either as far as I know, and even Ashkenazy stopped playing op.39 no.8 in public, while still playing many of the other etudes op.39.
It's such a beautiful etude, so it's sad that it is being neglected by most pianists today. Fortunately, we have Volodos and Lugansky to keep the piece alive in the concert hall.
But this étude is not as poorly scored as Dvořak's piano concerto which experts say can only be adequately played on one piano by 2 left hands!
Did Dvořak develop his melodies first in tbe bass? This all seems bizarre. But this so called concerto of Dvorak is a total failure, unplayable as written and no special joy to the listener. Richarc Sot in Facebook & Messenger
@@ripvanwinkle9592 I never even suggested that this etude would be "poorly scored". Actually, the piece is brilliantly written. It's just that too many pianists of today lack the technique (and perhaps the motivation) to play (melodic) doubles comfortably in that particular key.
You need to listen to Szymon Nehring's version
@@admortor- I will. Thanks for the tip!
@@j.vonhogen9650 too many pianists lack the accessibility to the "ineffable" that the piece requires. To play it, technique does not suffice. Rather, to go into that "ether" from which that music comes.
Bravo Lugansky You are Rachmaninoff reborn its like hearing him I have his recordings you really understand him you are his successor😍
no 8 just hits me right in the nostalgia vein
for me the best pianist!Love to visit his live concerts nowhere they are-in Moscow,Baltimore,Washington
Best classical channel. Thank you for upload of Genial Lugansky
what an interpetation thank you Maestro Lugansky
OP.33 D minor etude tempo is great. Not being rushed through. left hand registry dialogue very clear with clear cascade of varying touch vs other accompanying notes. very enjoyable. Op.39 no.8 soul captivating, not being rushed through, such harmonic nuances, hope & uncertainty ... think of Rachmaninov on the ship to New York, what'd be in his mind?
I love this channel, quality content, the timings and descriptions of the videos are perfect, just good choices! Thank you!!
Excellent work and a outstanding technique! Well Done
Thank you, damn, so this was literally 3 evenings ago???? 😭 I’m working on a few of these right now, but muchhhhhhhhhhhh slower 😆
Lugansky è uno dei più bravi pianisti in attività.
Unbelievable playing.....
So many empty seats. What a shame.
Lugansky is great.
Браво , Маэстро ! Спасибо !
Алма - Ата Казахстан.
Op. 33, no. 4, op. 39, no. 3, op. 39, no. 4 are my most favorite. Currently learning one.
Unisce la forza alla leggerezza, come potrebbe fare un angelo. Non si nota virtuosismo. Mi ha folgorato e riconciliato con Rachmaninov.
Not an easy program, and he plays them so well! There is a magnificent documentary on this great composer .. "Harvest of Sorrow." Treat yourself to getting to know Rachmaninoff a little better. And it is free!

Браво! 🎉
Счастлив человек, владеющий этим языком, этой магией!
This is great!! Thank you!!!
Nobody plays Rachmaninov like Lugansky.
Fabulous!
Прекрасно!🌹
MARAVILLOSO!!!!
❤❤
I have a couple of technical questions: what are the two rectangular black boxes under the piano? Also what is that mic? (looks stereo). Thanks. These are my favourite piano works of all time and Lugansky is of course a bit good . . .
Sei un artista da imitare
Красная шапочка - такая концовка, мороз по коже
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rachmaninov is god. My dog is named Sergei in his honor. Lugansky stellar as usual.
I heard some Rach Suite no.2 Intro in Op 39 no. 9 21:38
Interesting observation. Maybe the is that some church bells motive is used there. You also can hear it in Suite No. 2, IV. Pâques
😍😘♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
💯💯💯✨👌👏👏👏
15:44 that felt a bit slow, and then 15:52 doesn't sound right either ?
Don't know about the rest but Lugansky made some mistakes here and there when he played op. 39 no. 4. Probably not enough practice, but he's interpretation is truly amazing. Respect.
Little mistakes can happen no matter how much practice there has been.
Oh my god the masks, Beethoven is cracking up
Rach 2
I admire Lugansky's Rachmaninoff, but has everyone forgotten Van Cliburn?
Bien sûr il est remarquable mais pour les Etudes-Tableaux, j'ai une préférence marquée pour son compatriote Ashkenazy.
В этюде Es-moll у Николая какая-то беда с педалью в первой части, грязновато...
