"Dear Gregg, I'm really glad to get a comment from you, who are specializing in Rach concerto N. 3. Where do you live? Check out my Faure quartet transcription or other transcriptions like Busoni concerto. All of them were premiere performances. I think to do an ongoing project of transcriptions would be fun, or even to explore new repertoire through transcribing is worthwhile. I was playing them without writing them down, because I try to experiment with the technical and musical methods of creating while playing. Now I am doing Shostakovich Concerto N.1 with a completely different approach. I first played it through on the piano as I did other concertos while adding the other parts, and then I went to writing it down and remembered it from playing it.it's just experimental. it's good to play in places where there is no orchestra, but music is high in demand. otherwise, orchestras is best. But at the same time I would really like to try a new experience playing big concertos without a conductor to see how I can communicate with orchestra musicians. That's kind of an idea underneath of my transcriptions."
In this video is shown one of the highest peaks of genius which can be given to humans. I can't stop watching this video.
RIP Christopher Falzone
Yeah sure
I can't decide if it angers me or saddens me that the majority of people will never fully appreciate just how incredibly talented one needs to be in order to pull this off. The term 'genius' gets thrown around a little to loosely these days (imo), but THIS is what a true genius looks and sounds like. Gone far too soon.
it hurts me that this only has 52k views.
ladies and gents, this is what "near impossible" looks like
RIP, the world just lost a person that could put the whole orchestrator on the finger tips
Because I also play this work (although not nearly as well) I can listen for his methodology. He leaves many of the solo passages alone and does not try to accompany them, because they can "hold their own" by themselves.
During block chords (that ordinarily take both hands...that is with an orchestra), he handles those only with his right hand and uses his left for accompaniment.
Obviously it is impossible to use both hands and play the entire solo passage with both hands, he has to allow for using the left hand for the orchestra. He usually leaves the really difficult passages for both hands...because one does not usually hear the orchestra above them anyway. He does not embellish the accompaniment in strictly orchestral passages...and tends to just play them and leave them as they are.
The key is to keep it smooth and he is wonderful at that. Not to mention memorizing it.
I am not saying anything here to disparage his genius and creativity. In order to do this, it requires a deep knowledge of the music...in a wholistic view...not just looking at the score. Hearing it is more important than "parsing" out the accompaniment.
I understand he has passed. This is a terrible pity...as he had an absolutely amazing and wonderful talent.

Wonderful performance. Excellent transcription. I am very sorry to hear of the passing of this young genius.
As if the original score weren't already complicated enough ... a masterpiece of skill and genius
Very sad news. The transcriptions and his gifted playing are absolutely stunning, sensitive and beautiful. What a great loss. RIP
Some are fortunate enough to have and use their talent to touch the stars; most of us are left with only being able to watch the stars, admire and, in some cases, envy those who can touch them. But, God, thank you for letting us bask in their radiance.
So beautifully said and so true, as always thank you very much.
What a beautiful comment 💖 and so true
The arpeggio/flute part that comes after the cadenza in first mvt is absolutely genius!!
highest level of human intelligence. What a gift .
Since I know I’ll never perform Rach 3 with orchestra, I hope to one day learn this transcription. It’s absolutely top notch!!!
Genius. Love his transcriptions. His passing is such a tremendous loss.
This video is one of the most impressive displays of unimaginable talent I've ever seen. It got 40k views in almost a decade. F
He plays the double-note ossia at 35:14! And the whole performance is really excellent.
Also at 21:28!
As does Kissin. This is a wonderful tribute to Rachmaninov. Sadness this young man is gone.
pure genius
This piece pushes the piano to the limit, you cannot get any more than this. Great performance, tecnhically perfect.
Имя этого гениального музыканта КРИСТОФЕР ФАЛЬЦОНЕ !
quanti veri ARTISTI che il mondo non conoscerà adeguatamente...come questo bravissimo pianista e arrangiatore. Complimenti vivissimi!
This is just staggeringly good.
what is it, please?
This is an excellent transcription for solo piano! I just found him and it is sad to discover that he has already passed. May his brilliance live on in these videos...
I adore this piece, but to hear it solo on a piano alone.. I didn’t think it was possible. I’m like WOW. To hear the music is uplifting, but to see someone actually playing it, is an overwhelming emotional response.. to feel the emotion in the music. It’s just WOW. Great performance. I wish I could play just a little.
This just became the hardest piano sonata ever lol, almost up there with Liszt’s transcription of Beethoven’s 9th.
Sonata?
@@Numberonesorabjifan the only difference between a concerto and a sonata is an orchestra.
@@brent3522 not every concerto is in sonata form
What a miracle.
Amazing transcription and execution. This pianist must know every detail of this concerto and the orchestral part. Thank you very much for posting.
Genius !! Thank you for this great gift! Very moving. A great loss to the world. I am addicted to this version now! RIP Falzone.
A musical miracle!!!!
MERAVIGLIOSO ! FANTASTICO !
This is a wonderful rendition of this famous and difficult concerto - all on one piano!
brilliant!OMG solo version!!!
Absolutely glorious playing! Phenomenal technique and musicality. A bright star who has left this world way too soon, and the music world is bereft of his genius. At least he was here a short while to grace us with his formidable talent.
The prefect arrangement
Omg this is really hard
What kind of sorcery is this????? This concerto is difficult enough without adding in extra notes to cover an absent orchestra!!! I dooubt that even Marc Andre-Hamelin could pull this off!!! Beyond crazy!!! And by memory!!!! How do you even do that????
Lol don't underestimate hamelin.
hamelin actually already does this lol, esp with the solo alkan concerto
No, since Alkan's concerto has been originally written be composer for piano solo without any orchestral parts. Alkan only imagined his orchestra.
Unlike here, a full symphony orchestra and piano soloist's parts written for all instruments in a full score by Rachmaninoff, but although its running through all together on one piano by Christopher. Rachmaninoff didn't write that.
Simply wonderful. Watched it again.
What a genius! To incorporate all the nuances of the orchestra along with the piano is amazing. Rachmaninoff would have been awed by this man's genius. Bless him for bringing us an insight that most of us could not conceive in a lifetime.
Albert peckham "This is epic pianism. ... He [Falzone] clearly has excellent haptic memory in his fingers, his arms, his back, his entire body. This haptic memory is facilitated by intensive devotion to absorbing the music he performs. Falzone is just such a Force of Nature. Not satisfied with mere sensation, touching and feeling erupt into embodied experiences that are emotional and expressive, personal and interpersonal {...}If you are near enough to Falzone at one of his performances, you will see arcs, giant arcs. And probably sparks as well. Lava. Smoke. Brimstone. Exciting, impressive, beautiful!" ~ Chamber Music Today
I just kept watching the first 2 minutes over and over again, not sure what happens for the other 39 minutes ! haha so beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful performance and this work is the holy grail of all the piano player. RIP, we still enjoy your talent and wonderful music you brought to us.
Outrageously modest viewing numbers. Wonderfully unique piece of work by M. Falzone.
Divinity
Grandiose et superbe !
Paix à son âme pour cet interprète de génie.
Bravo!
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So amazing! Fantastic!
Awesome performance!!!
fantastic
its almost like with these 2 transcriptions we have 2 other rachmaninoff sonatas now its unreal
all thats missing is transcriptions of the 1st and 4th then we would have 6 fully fledged piano sonatas...
Fantastic!
Glad you like it!
Wow quite amazing!
35:14 rare performance of this ossia!!!
incredibly epic
Brilliantly Beautiful
Incredible.
I admire you.
I'm really glad that you like it. Thank you.
W A W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very impressive...
bravo
Beautiful ! I wish I could have the sheet to play it !
Requiescat in pace...
Nossa... Foi maravilhoso. Eu estava assistindo a este vídeo e pensei: como que ele conseguiu tocar este concerto para piano solo? Ele é extremamente difícil. Wow.... It was wonderful. I was watching this video and I thought: How did he get to play this solo piano concerto? It is extremely difficult!
I was going to comment on the Perfect execution of the cadenza but somehow it doesn't stand out that much because the entire piece is just as great
What amazing talent. Does anyone know if there is PDF of his transcription anywhere?
I literally don't know what the say about this performance... *claps* The ONLY thing that let it down was the actual recording fidelity - and that has absolutely nothing to do with his actual performance.
So sad news R.I.P
The best solo version I heard. Where can I possibly have the music sheet please?
viel zu früh von uns gegangen
is it possible to get the sheet music
of this transcription?
33:11
10:05
29:15
30:33 doesnt even mess up these fast thirds-fifths
Already the base Piano Primo part is already hard enough, let alone reducing the entire thing to be play solo like a Sonata.
Does a score exist for this ingenious transcription?
sure
AHAHAHAHAHA BEYOND LEGENDARY!!
Where can I get the sheet music. It's fantastic!
it's not for sale, if you can play it from full Rachmaninoff's orchestral score, so it's easy to do by yourself, because only you what you can embody from it. Thank for appreciation and listening.
Really great and very useful in a time where orchestras tend to disappear... Is it possible to get the sheet music somehow?
I mean, is it? Because I want to purchase it at any price
who didn't subscribed it, I didn't understand what you are referring to?
Very nice. Could you share the sheetmusic?
If you can play it from full score and once you memorize it, you will have it in the way you grasp it in your fingers. Bon curage!
Godowsky was nothing...
Bravo!
This is extremely well done! Beautiful!❤

Classicalrecitals International Awards-Winner Christopher Falzone is acclaimed as a "brilliant pianist, who performs an astounding array of diverse repertoire, being truly at ease in any style and with any composer," he was recognized by legendary and glorious Martha Argerich - "a beautiful, imaginative artist and a marvelous pianist," she noted. Enthusiastic audiences named him "a philosopher in music and big artist" (Gazetta Vechernyaya Odessa). Also the formidable intellectual British pianist Leslie Howard, who for 20 years has been a member of Council of the Royal Philharmonic Society, as well as President of the Liszt Society, remarked "Christopher has justly received glowing encomiums from distinguished musicians from around the world." The Italian pianist and triumphant of international competitions as Cleveland, Van Cliburn and Marguerite Long-Jacques Thibaud, Antonio Pompa-Baldi, welcomed Christopher's performances and expressed, "...Falzone is truly a unique talent, in that his personality and artistry spring from his pronounced individualism and in a world where so often pianists sound the same, he is one of those artists whose voice, whose sound one can instantly recognize. I am certain you and your audience members would love him."
incredible...thanks !!!!!
A Music Ingenious Amazing!!!!!!!!!
