Garrick Ohlson is one of the greatest living pianists. The true inheritor of Claudio Arraus technique. Look at the faces of Ohlson and Slatkin after the finish. They knew that it was one of the great performances of this heroic piece.
It's so funny how easy this guy makes it look to play these concertos. The octaves and scales and whatnot. hands don't even hardly look like their moving, just effortlessly. Amazing performance.

Mr. Ohlsson chose the non-ossia cadenza that suits his lighter and more delicate touch, and the dramatic and undulating buildup to the thunderous descending chords is magnificent. A performance of this concerto with such finesse and a great communication between the soloist and the orchestra is quite rare. There really seems to be a great relationship between Mr. Ohlsson and Mr. Slatkin. On a different note, it's fascinating to watch Mr. Ohlsson's hands that I assume are close to the size of those of Mr. Rachmaninoff himself. When it comes to the quality of the hundreds (thousands?) of big chords in this concerto, hands really matter! The immaculate precision of the chords' rhythm! The improvisatory C sharp minor waltz by Chopin for the encore was such a revelation. Bravo!!
I didn't realize Ohlsson does anything other than the ossia cadenza-but this^ is proof. I think his ossia cadenza is one of the best out there. th-cam.com/video/gD98buvv9Ug/w-d-xo.html I agree that he's capable of tenderness-but I have actually always found Ohlsson to be an incredible powerhouse, which is why I think the ossia cadenza actually makes more sense for him.
What an incredible performance an epic night and a magical concert you only dream about ! The Pianist, The Orchestra and the extremely great Leonard Slatkin, what more can i say nothing better than this ever Period !!!!!!!!!!
A few years ago, we heard him play this in the Hollywood Bowl. It was my first time hearing this piece. A magical evening to be alive. Each time I hear it now, I remember that evening, the soft, warm breezes, and the twinkling stars above LA.
I didn't know Ohlsson played this concerto. I thought it a very winning performance . . . . too often the most delightfully musical passages in this piece are WHIZZED past at breakneck speed and magical moments. (The end of the Finale, a case in point.) Bravo Maestro Ohlsson.
44:03 oohh, Leonard Slatkin always does this hand movement... So pleasant! It's like he points to the very culmination of the piece. The same way he moved his hand in cooperation with Denis Matsuev in 2013. The same part of the piece chose another conductor to nod while Yunchan Lim was playing in 2022.
@@huh8338Horowitz with what orchestra? Good choices. How about Yefim Bronfam and Andrei Gavrilov both dramatic and phenomenal technically, delicate when needed.
He knows the piece inside out, makes many sensible decisions and loves Rachmaninoff, but there's a certain frenzy lacking in the climaxes that other pianists achieve. A underlying sedateness and intellectual control that sounds (I'm sorry to say) slightly pedestrian.
Ohlssons is a close comparison to yunchan, however ohlssons performance is so unique compared to others it’s really hard to compare in general, both are very good

08:48-09:34 - superb coordination between pianist and winds. Tricky section and executed very well!
Wonderful, absolutely beautiful, ahhhh, to have his gift… I would play forever and a day onward to eternity. With gratitude… 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Watched him perform this last night. Such a mesmerising experience. Finished with a little Chopin too. Incredible.
What a heavenly performance…..brings tears to my eyes.
Garrick Ohlsson is so gracious on stage. no stupid faces like most pianists do...
When you know after 25 seconds you are going to love this
What an incredible performance an epic night and a magical concert you only dream about ! The Pianist, The Orchestra and the extremely great Leonard Slatkin, what more can i say nothing better than this ever Period !!!!!!!!!!
SUPERB ALL THE WAY BRAVO !!!!!
THIS IS THE WAY A REL MASTER DOES IT!! MUSICALLY, TECHNICALLY - IN EVERY WAY ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES I'VE EVER SEEN AND HEARD!! BRAVO!!!
You,re absolutely right! The pianist and the orchestra and the great Leonard Slatkin are marvelous, well deserving of a standing ovation !!!!!

Awesome that your first time listening to Rach 3 is from someone like Ohlsson

Fantastic performance! One of the best interpretations I've ever heard!

Everything's in place but its utterly earthbound.
Wow, very very good!

As good as Volodos, Bronfman and Yunchan
Why u commenting this on every Rach 3 video 😂
@@Numberonesorabjifan Because I love Rach 3
Yunchan's performance led me here...

But Ohlsson is on another level.
@@donnytello1544 Yun Chan is not even close to olhssons.
Yun Chan still need a Loong way.
