This is the best piano transcription of Spring Waters i've heard so far. It has exactly the right balance of a singing, soaring melody with pianistic brilliance. So it's easy to believe that this is how Rachmaninoff played his own work (which was originally voice + piano). But is the sound track that of Rachmaninoff himself playing? It is hard to see how a recording from 1943 or before could be so completely scrubbed of the artifacts of recording in that era (such as tape hiss, for example). So either there was a first rate pianist doing the performance, or there was a first rate engineer scrubbing the old sound track. Thank you very much for writing down the notes and sharing the music.
@@Aorda Maybe you are exactly right. The performance is both technically perfect and very musical. The only question then is why he did not write down this transcription --- after all, he must have had plenty of score paper lying around and he knew how to express music in written form.
@@danhitt167 I'm sure he wrote it down, but it was probably never published. The same is true of his cadenza for Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2, iirc.
Shazam says this is the Ukrainian pianist Alexey Botvinov, from his album "Botvinov plays Rachmaninov", and having checked through Spotify, I can say it appears to be correct.

This is brilliant! This piece brings so much emotion...Just love it.
What a wonderful transcription beautifully balanced. Love it.

So dreamy
Beautiful
Genius!

Good but Earl Wild’s transcription is deeper and better: search for earl Wild - Floods of Spring. You’ll enjoy it.
Nice
It's absolutely amazing! Great balance results, it's a very accomplished transcription.
Where can I get the score? Greetings from Chile

This is amazing! The transcription is perfect, but I haven't found this recording by Rachmaninov, how do you know is him?
It's not, it's Ukrainian pianist Alexey Botvinov.
Is this actually played by Rachmaninoff?
i was wondering the same thing
@@riksensitorus2271 Probably a piano roll
It is not a piano roll, it's Alexey Botvinov from his album "Botvinov plays Rachmaninov".
