"It's called the 'Rach 2' because it's one of the most romantic pieces..." I think it's called the 'Rach 2' because it's the 2nd Piano Concerto by Rachmaninov
My mom is an incredible pianist, and I had the privilege of hearing her learn the full concerto for a piano competition. Still brings tears to my eyes 🥹
If you like romantic type of piano concertos I would recommend you Moskovsky’s piano concerto no.1, Bortievickz piano concerto 1 and 3, Medtner’s 1st and 3rd piano concerto’s and piano concertos from Arensky, Henslet, and other less known but yet magnificent romantic composers.
Yes and Eric Carmen had to share royalties with the Rachmaninov Estate for that beautiful piece as well as another one, Never Gonna Fall in Love from Rachmaninov’s Symphony #2. He thought the copyrights expired by the time he wrote both pieces. It did, in the US but not the UK. They worked it out eventually with the Estate getting 12%. If you are going to produce beautiful love ballads, being inspired by Sergei Rachmaninov is a pretty good place to start. Sadly Eric passed away recently.
I always cry at this moment.It's like some kind of outcome of life, despite all the suffering, you confess your love for life... It's phenomenal music.
I never thought it was romantic, but definitely the second movement of Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 is a sublime piece of music, with the flaute introducing the theme, a majestic use of strings and the piano entering and developing the story. And wow, the main theme of the Adagio is something special: so delicate and giving an intense feeling of sweet sadness, which is what characterize life itself for many: a tragedy lived with joy. This concerto was composed by Rachmaninov as the first pice after a long period of lack of creativity in which he had depression. The Adagio clearly reflects his pain during this period, but you can sense that it is a pain he was able to process and turn into one of the best classical music compositions of all time.
Eric Carmen used the opening of the movement for the intro to his song "All By Myself." The tone of Rachmaninoff's piece is of infinite longing. A perfect fit for Carmen's ballad.
I believe that this is not only the most beautiful passage from Rachmaninov, but also the most beautiful, heartfelt music from all the classics. Even Chopin didn’t always do it this way! This is what is called "with all my heart." this is pure love.I would say that it is so beautiful that it is even difficult to been through. for me only Rachmaninov could write so that you just fly away
It is impossible for me to hear this without bursting into tears. This was the music used throughout the all time greatest tearjerker movie: Brief Encounter.
You play it fantastic man, congrats! It is indeed one of the most beautiful melodies ever written, my favorite concerto ever. I would say it’s a hymn to all the beauty of the world, it really elevates the soul to another dimension.
Why does this classical piece stirs so much emotions inside of my heart every time I listen to it that it makes me cry. 😢 I can feel its magic transcend to the depths of my soul!!! Absolutely beautiful!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am almost completely speechless.... The only words my stunned mouth can utter are ones of pure amazement and awe. This is the most beautiful song i have ever heard. Thank you for blessing my day with souch a majesty as this.
This is my all time favorite moment in classical music and you played it effortlessly. As soon as you started to play, I had tingles all over my body and had tears in my eyes within a few seconds. My heart is swelling with joy at this very instant.
No. Rachmaninov is much more about desire. The desire for love, not actually falling in love. Listen to the full concerto, and you will hear arguments, discourse between the orchestra and the pianist. What are they arguing about? Love, the journey to find it, and how deeply well the pianist once it.
Imagine you're sitting, talking, and laughing with someone. For some reason talking to this person feels different than talking to everyone else. You can talk for hours about anything and it feels like no time has passed at all. You feel safe around this person. You feel at home. You look at them, and then, for a very brief moment, you realize that you have fallen in love. That is how I would describe this part of the piece.
Absolutely fantastic performance. After couple of notes I started to cry. What a beautiful full sound of the piano and you play absolutely beautiful!!!💟💋💟💟
Watching this on the toilet and listening to this is perhaps one of the most romantic and utterly sublime things to do in life. Speaking from experience.
Play the whole concerto. Serge Rachmaninoff. He was Russian. Moved to America during the Russian Revolution. Wrote that piece around the same time. There are three movements to the whole concerto. Very passionate music. That is I believe the last movement of the three movements. I live in the Seattle area so have gone to Benaroya Hall to hear a Brazilian pianist play the whole complete concerto. No sheet music before him. Wow! So beautiful. So much passion in this concerto. I love it so much. Thank you. You do it so well. Please record it. I would purchase a CD. Love this so much. ❤️❤️❤️
The Second concerto was first performed in 1901. Once Rachmaninov left Russia he could not find inspiration for composing any new music but remained a popular concert pianist. Thanks!
_Although life was against us, I could have never been without my love. I spent every last moment of my life trying to return to you, and now, I will never, let you go._
Thank you, Andy!. This is my favorite piece of classical music, although I particularly like the first movement! Keep up the great work! Greetings from St.Petersburg, Russia.
ty so much for sharing with musical notation too. so sweet and romantic music indeed. I love music. Keep sharing your talent bro. This way makes us happy in life too ...
@@M0NK27 My comment was directed at the content creator. There does not need to be a conversation unless they speak up and realize how their script had an error.
There are any number of Rakhmaninoff compositions which cause deep emotional responses in listeners. The 18th variation on the Paganini Theme, and as someone else has stated, the 2nd Sonata has such a melody, parts of the 3rd, the first of the Moments Musicaux, certain of the Preludes, Vocalise and a substantial number of choral works and songs. In short, I would state that Rakhmaninoff occupies a unique position in 'formal' music - he could combine quite avant-garde themes (although he was regarded as old-fashioned before he left Russia) with beautiful melodies. He was the genius of the late Romantic period. And within the music he wrote 'in exile' there were compositions that were anything but retrospective - the Symphonic Dances and the 4th PC. Incidentally I forgot that the 2nd and 3rd Symphonies contained some very emotive themes too.
"It's called the 'Rach 2' because it's one of the most romantic pieces..." I think it's called the 'Rach 2' because it's the 2nd Piano Concerto by Rachmaninov
i think hes saying its well known BECAUSE its one of the most romantic pieces
thats what i thought
No "I think." That's definitely the reason why.
That guy has got to rewrite his script.
What should I type in on Spotify/ Apple Music to find this exact song?!
@@mariacoyle8513I’m wondering the same thing
Fun fact Beethoven's 5th symphony is called Beethoven's 5th symphony
Because it is the most goosebumping piece ever

Is she famous? I would LOVE to hear her interpretation on this piece
It's like 37 minutes long, right? How incredible your mother is!

Up until now, including this time, I had to cry every single time I listened to this Rachmaninoff movement 😭

Music both touches and heals the soul.
It almost catches you off guard. Like how patterns in sound manipulate us to such an extent. Goosebumps!
@@Daniel-pu6plfantastic recommendations! Ive never listened to Medtner so I'll be sure to do that now as you have such good taste
You havent heard of rachmaninoff’s 2nd symphony third movement
"All by myself" was inspired by this wonderful piece
Yeah. And the coda section of the song was actually composed by Rach himself.

How is it not romantic
@@samuelmike3843 I didn’t say it’s not. I say I never thought, like I never noticed
Yes, this is also how I feel listening to this, “Sweet sadness” is perfect! Just humbles you, with the fullness of life!
Agreed
Agreed ☕️🧐
It's called the Rach 2 because it's Rachmaninoff's seconds piano concerto not because it's romantic
The word “Rach” means romantic in Russian. And the 2 is because this is the second movement. Hence Rach 2. “ROMANTIC SECOND”
@@ScottWarner86it’s not 2 because it’s the second movement, it’s 2 because it’s his second piano concerto
@@ScottWarner86 Either I missed the joke or "Rach" certainly doesn't mean romantic in Russian (if it even means anything) 😅

"Seconds"? Factory damaged?
This piece reaches deeply into my soul and rips it out then genly returns it into me.

Beautiful lyric
My favourite concerto
I knew it was gonna be rach 2 as soon as I saw the title

It's called "Rach 2" because that's an abbreviation for Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto. Nothing to do with it being romantic and sublime.

beautiful, will forever be my favorite piece
Gorgeous 😍

More and longer pieces please
I agree 💯..I used to like the Rach 3 now im into the 2nd
Such a beautiful piece! I've always loved this work. One of best and you played it great Andy!

Reminds me of somewhere in time
sublime . i dont know if romantic. just magical.
You play this piece beautifully.
this is just a fraction of the entire concerto. I STRONGLY recommend you lisening to it!
