2:32 - How to fall in love with a composer. That's honestly my favorite motive from all of Rachmaninoff, followed by the 18th variation of paganini and 3rd concertos' ossia cadenza
Sorry to disagree, not a momentary lapse but more like a hand ache, look how tensed up is his thumb. It's a so incredible playing and it's only a rehearsal ;)
haha - had a little kink in the joints at 1:06. I would not be surprised if a few top level pianists get that after playing for 6 hours a day ... Nikolai is just brilliant.
Of course, we all do, even world class pianists like Lugansky, Horowitz, Kissin, EVERYONE! The difference is when it happens in a concert they find a way to seamlessly play through it. That's the real trick!
@TheSamu94 Ma secondo me... e come fai ad aver parole!!!! Giusto le cicale riescono a non tacere!!!! Spettacolo! Mi sa che lui ce dorme pure col pianoforte.

6:08 stabbed by a giant hornet or pianist muscle?
Is it just me, or were a hoard of crickets descending on you gradually as you filmed this?
His touch is superb and out of the world
haha he looks like he's on vacation.
I hear the orchestra in my mind, this is enormous.
He is looking on he left like there was the orchestra !
3:35 that crescendo gives me chills
I'm so excited right now.. Ecstatic to hear my favorite Rach1.... 2:33 This section is so precious. I'll believe this is heaven.......

Fascinating, really enjoyable & illuminating. I had the fortune to attend the concert which was every bit as exciting as this preparation promises.
1:07 Meow Mix.

I was hoping to hear the end of the final movement. But this is fine, too.
Dear God he is magnificent!!
Indeed many fingers kilometers hehe! Have a nice piano day Balgig.
Thank you for this video!
I am a great fan of Nikolai's. If you have more of him playing please upload...

Could be a cramp. This piece is really hard on the muscles in the wrists and fingers.

More like Disney music sounds like Rachmaninoff.
