@@MrMeme-ng4ni i think that he already belongs to top 4-5 Rachmaninov interpreters ever lived, my opinion, Richter, Ashkenazy, Horowitz, Rachmaninov, Lugansky, my top 5
Only recently I have discovered this pianist and after listening to several of his albums I am now completely obsessed with his artistry! What a sublime and eclectic Interpreter he is! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man, Rachmaninoff's music is written so deeply into the instrument. It really can't be everything it's supposed to be without a really excellent pianist at a really excellent piano. He wasn't just writing notes, these really need you to dig into the keys for specific textures. How amazing would it be to hear Rachmaninoff play these live...
There is a recording of Sergi on 33 RPM vinyl from the 60s entitled "Rachmaninoff Playing Rachmaninoff" of these Preludes. I had a copy but don't know where it is. I no longer have a turntable. I think Lugansky is a bit heavy for my taste, but his pace is excellent. Sergie played with much more shade.
SAME HERE!!! I've been so frustrated with the recordings I've been able to find of his Preludes and Etudes. I've suspected for a long time that I really liked them, and I just need to find someone who could interpret them well. HERE IT IS!
I recently discovered that Boris Giltburg does pretty great work with the Op 39 book of etudes too. Incidentally, in the recital I found on TH-cam he's playing on a Fazioli, which is a fun change from the standard.
This prelude is one of my favourite solo piano pieces of Rachmaninoff. I love Lugansky's playing, but in my opinion Valentina Lisitsa's interpretation of it is a little bit better. She puts completely different accents in her performance, so it sounds incredibly romantic
Heard him live in Prague, playing Preludes, Etudes Tableux and Corelli Variations. The dispassionate bored crowd didn't have an idea, what they were witnessing... only reaction was after notorious G minor prelude...
I'm convinced that all the dislikes on videos are from people who accidentally hit it. Can't fathom anyone listening to this and thinking of disliking.
I am sure the dislikes are for the video, not the performance which is, of course, glorious, one of the best if not the best. But the video is dreadful. How many people watching want frequent views of the back of his jacket or the underside of his sleeves. When we do get to see his hands it is usually in ultra-closeup and out of focus and almost never for more than 8-10 seconds before switching to his face or his back again. What is needed is a general view of the keyboard and his hands, remaining there for most of a prelude. Some might like the odd shot of his face, but his hands should be a priority and not just a few of the fingers of one hand for five seconds.
This is the first time I've heard this set of his preludes. I am a little more familiar with the first set as I learned one of them (and ONLY 1)--probably because I never had very big hands.
These are the most profound works; I didn't know until recently about a past life in that indiginous region, during Rachmaninoff's popularity and fortune, as Fevre Glazunov- not related to the composer Glazunov... That is the Slavic branch of Three, including also the Germanian and the Draik, which latter includes both Celtic and Anglican (former; there is no longer an Anglican or Frisian patriarchal attribution, and it would be far better not to use English language anymore; neither a Dutch or Finnish one). The famous pianist Horowitz was fully of the Slavic; his religion by birth the Orereth- there were other nordics who were Orereth, for example some Jutes, which is a Celtic, orange or carrot coloured hair tribe... not of the middle eastern amber caucasian race, in other words, which was from Adam and Eve, but from the nordic, from Ask and Embla, which is our attribution all...
At la Grange de Meslay near Tours in France, a medieval barn where Sviatoslav Richter commenced a tradition of annual music festivals since 1963. Hope I understood your question correctly.
Il n'est pas mon interprète favori pour Rachmaninov, mais je reconnais qu'il est tout de même dans ses meilleurs interprètes. Mais la vidéo de Mezzo est vraiment prise dans les plans généraux sous un angle bien inhabituel, quelque peu dérangeant et difficile à percevoir.

The greatest living Rachmaninov interpreter🙂
I agree. I like his no-nonsense and unsentimental playing.
Keyword: living

Well, I thought it was someone else before I discovered him, so...I guess you never know!
@@jungwirthmartin Weissenberg is up there too IMO.
No.4 is unbelievable
Lugansky is somehow both peaceful and passionate in his playing.
great description. there is so much grace, power, and imagination all wrapped together. a truly amazing pianist.
Only recently I have discovered this pianist and after listening to several of his albums I am now completely obsessed with his artistry! What a sublime and eclectic Interpreter he is! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
me too!魯根斯基是鋼琴皇帝！Lugansky is the piano emperor !
You should listen too to his partnership with Capuçon the cellist
...divine.
The first prelude of this set gets so chromatic, it's funny how Rach managed to avoid a lot of the C major stereotypes.
I played no.10 at my piano recital in 2011,and the version of Lugansky is my favorite👍
My hero! What a mind, and so much HEART!

Yes :) such intricate compositions captivated me since my teenage years
Ya Chopin was like that too.
IT is honour, priviledge to listen to Lugansky. Greatest genius
He is the best IMHO, amd Ive only just discovered him. Cant believe it took me this long to find him. He is it! He’s the one.

Such even tempered interpretations. Perfect depth without over-sentimentality.
This is truly masterly playing! Very impressive. And the sound of the recording is great!!
13:29 is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard
This prelude is one of my favourite solo piano pieces of Rachmaninoff. I love Lugansky's playing, but in my opinion Valentina Lisitsa's interpretation of it is a little bit better. She puts completely different accents in her performance, so it sounds incredibly romantic
@@Galaxzier My favourite recording is by Ashkenazy. Lisitsa overuses the sustain pedal imo
Hats off to the recording artists too. Sounds great.
28:11 Omg wtf that fingering !
Only gods don't use their thumbs
It IS crazy, but I kind of get it. The thumb can cause the rhythm to be uneven, so if you don't need to use it, why not?
Art Tatum avoided using his thumb on big downward flourishes to the same effect. Nice insight for this passage. :)
Crazy 😎
I love no. 5 and no. 10, both so melancholic💫
Don't forget no.12, a typical Rachmaninoffian piece!
Me too, they are so moving... My favorite preludes.
No. 10 will forever be my favorite, especially that moment at 26:58. Simply amazing. Bravo, maestro.
same
Same probably top 3 fav rach pieces
I read this comment at exactly that very moment, can you imagine?😮😊
Господи, это прекрасно, друзья мои😢😢😊
Гений! Купил 2 билета на 28 и 29 октября, с нетерпением жду концерты Николая ❤️
I struggled with these preludes particularly the first one. Lugansky makes them seem effortless. Fantastic!!
This is just incredible, I have never heard something like this in my life!! sooo gooood
Спасибо Николаю за отсутствие ‘исполнительства’ в его потрясающей игре и за то, что он несёт музыку гораздо выше себя!
28:10 sounds like the most beautiful crying I've ever heard...
I've studied some of these preludes, and this artistry and insight totally knocks my socks off!
Rachmaninoff and Lugansky are both geniuses of the very highest order
Гениально , Николай 👏👏👏👏
beyond incredible! brilliant! Bravo Nicolaï
Was für ein vollendeter Pianist, ein einzigartiges Klavierspiel.......
Humble and charismatic, deep and passionate, the best Rachmaninov ambassador with Vladimir Ashkenazy for me 🌹
24:26 Lento Прелюдии: Op. 32 h-moll,
32:48 Allegro Прелюдии: Op. 32 gis-moll.
4, 5, 10, 12 so incredible
Remarkable - they sound like different pieces in his hands - so beautiful.
Quien es uno para opinar sobre este artista extraordinario. Me dejò admirado. Fantàstico.
Thank you Nicholai...
So beautiful, meeting of the master minds Rachmaninoff and Lugansky's technique and interpretation.
I can only try to imagine the level of stamina required to play the full set of preludes in one go like that...
All I have to say is…. WOW!
BRAVO MAESTRO ! Almaty Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Fantastic playing!!
So beautiful! Thank you!
no4 ми минор просто огонь 😍
Heard him live in Prague, playing Preludes, Etudes Tableux and Corelli Variations. The dispassionate bored crowd didn't have an idea, what they were witnessing... only reaction was after notorious G minor prelude...
wow
魯根斯基，是鋼琴皇帝！鋼琴曲目在他的手指上全部復活了。
Op 32 No 5 in G Major is one of his great miniatures 🎹
BRAVO!
Oh le 10em prélude ❤
outstanding
Almost unbelievable that a human can create such beautiful sounds using only 12 different notes. Imagine if the norm was to use more than that
He's the best 💜

Has there ever been a finer recording of Rachmaninoff than prelude no. 5, played by Lugansky?
Ashkenazy
I ❤ no. 5... 🎉🎉🎉
10 and 12 I ❤
damn
He caught the soul of Rachmaninov, the Russian Soul !!!!!
Pretty good, Though i thought the F# during measure 13 was a tad rushed.
Opus Dei ...❤
Der persoenliche Tagseite kann ganz erfuellt sein, Licht und Hoeren- das ist "Thrall" oft genannt...
Here we ARE suitably enthralled. 👍
