After falling in love with Rachmaninoff, I have a feeling I will never be able to listen to any other composer! And Lugansky is simply the best! No one can compete with these two!❤❤❤
I cannot count the times I have witnessed live performances of this workhorse of the piano-and-orchestra repertoire. But I have never heard it performed with so much vibrance as in this recording by the Orchestre de Paris and soloist Nikolai Lugansky. The music seems to transport itself from the screen directly into the soul. To me, Lugansky is this generation's monarch of Rachmaninoff interpreters, and I doubt anyone can match him. He possesses a maturity in his playing to which others only aspire. Something that always impresses me about his playing is the total lack of annoying mannerisms that detract from the music. This is a superb recording of this music, perhaps even the definitive one on TH-cam. Applause to the recording engineer and the orchestra.
Perfect chemistry between conductor, orchestra and soloist. Though I have listened to Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini over a hundred times--even played by Lugansky himelf--I was in awe of this performance as if I heard it for the first time.
Какое счастье это слушать ,но ещё более огромное счастье это самому играть,это не сравнить ни с одним наслаждением для души в нашей жизни .Жаль людей ,которые лишены этого чувства ,и их жизнь проходит без этого богатства.
Время инноваций позволяет смотреть и слушать величайшие концерты, несущие глубокие мысли автора, гения русской Музыки - С.В. Рахманинова, в исполнении многих талантливейших исполнителей мира и одних из наилучших исполнителей России - Н.Луганского и Д.Трифонова. Браво!🌹🌹🌹
Some times I wish Rachmaninoff had expanded Variation 18 into a much longer piece. When it starts, I wish it never ends. Longing, yearning, happiness, sadness, gentleness, etc. all rolled into a single theme. Three minute is just too short to unroll all those feelings.
Finalement, la Réincarnation est un processus absolument banal mais qui acquiert un Niveau Exceptionnel sous les Doigts de Monsieur Lugansky, Merci 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
L'énorme difficulté pianistique de cette oeuvre ne saurait enlever à Lugansky toute la poésie dont il est capable à son clavier : fantastiquement délicieux !
Couldn't disagree more. Then no-one could perform Albéniz like Spaniards, Beethoven like Germans, Mozart like Austrians, Debussy like French.... sorry, NO. That said, I very much admire Luganski and his performances of Rachmaninov, but also performances by many other non-Russians pianists.

Nickolai was wearing a bandaid on the tip of his left middle finger. Despite that, he played with full force on all forte passages. This is why I worry about established concert artists playing when they should not. Or playing works (like a Bartok Piano Concerto) that is dangerous to play and musically worthless.

Genius at work, congratulation Nikolai Lugansky, the greatest living Rachmaninov interpreter
In love too with Rachmaninoff and Lugansky!!!
Lugansky is so great, wonderful

I agree.

Brilliant Nicolaï Lugansky !Always só marvellous and perfect !

everything has an beginning and an end and the other variations are great as well.

Je comprends pas cette phrase: " la Réincarnation est un processus absolument banal"
Forever thankful for this channel! Sending my love and deep gratitude! ❤
I have listened to dozens of orchestras and solists. This performance is the most original, subtle, nuanced, and profound version I have ever heard.
The understanding of the conductor is far beyond the craziest dreams!
Absolutely wonderful music👏👏👏👏
magnificent.pervormance.¨!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exceptional,❤❤❤❤ thank you
I am here yet again to listen to this superb performance.
Immaculate performance of the 18th variation!!!!!!!
fantastic performance ,soloist ,orchestra and conductor !!!
Bravooooo
러시아 피아니스트 중 나의 눈에서 하트뿅뿅 나가는 피아니스트이다. 넘 멋지고 남성미 넘치고 러시아의 웅장한 예술을 늘 느끼게 해 주는 고마운 분^^ 루간스키 피아노곡들은 다 매력적이예요♥♥♥
Superb pianist !!!
И снова этот несравнимый ,Луганский ,среди лучших нет ему равных,здесь все на высоте.
It cant be better!!!
Гениально , Николай 👏👏👏👏
Excelente
L'énorme difficulté pianistique de cette oeuvre ne saurait enlever à Lugansky toute la poésie dont il est capable à son clavier : fantastiquement délicieux !
Var 18 maked me cry :')))
Just great Move over Ashkenazy!
Я ничего не понимаю в музыке,но это великолепно!Хорошая мужская работа:автор, исполнитель и дирижёр!!!
What a passionate execution! Only Russian musicians can play at the best the Russian composers. Thanks God for giving us Russian musical culture.

Sehr faustisch ... Ich höre aber auch diese Musik beim Lesen von Hoffmann...
Ich verehre E. T. A. Hoffmann!

Herr Rachmaninow auf die Romantik trifft :-) Und Kater Murr ist irrsinnig witzig.

Is it possible?
A miracle
Es imposible soportar la cantidad de interrupciones que hace TH-cam con propagandas. Productos que no pienso consumir.
Why he never gets the best conductor, he would really deserve it!!!
What do you mean?
The conductor was exceptional.
Wish he would play it slower, so it could last longer.
Strange balance problems in the orchestra...

Неважно...
Snoozefest. Never understood why this is so popular. Same thing over and over. It's like listening to a slightly less maddening Bolero.
It seems more like caugh fest. This performance is completely ruined by the worst audience ever.
Indeed …
Understand …❤Genious …Opus Dei …at the Piano …❤
