La rigueur et la musicalité fusionnent pour donner une interprétation sans égale de ce magnifique premier concerto de Rachmaninov, comment ne pas être subjugué et submergé d’émotions par une telle beauté et profondeur musicale.

Слушаю третий раз. Море музыки! Браво Александр!!! Вы так молоды, а игра зрелого человека.

[@javiertrabajo9438]

extraordinary, Kantorov reminds me of Pogorelich in his early years, an exuberant and unique a wave of energy, creativity, a perfect fusion between pianist and work that become one.

everyone comments on this guy's talent - he's fucking amazing. But don't forget Rachmaninov used to play like this too!!!!!!!! thank God someone learned from the master himself - болшое спосибо, Канторов!

Да , концерт звучит по другому.

[@zenchopin]

From 3:06 to 3:12 pedal change that defies any physical law,

[@user-cy7jx4pc1u]

C'est simplement scandaleux qu'avec les moyens dont nous disposons, on ne puisse avoir la vidéo !

[@dorfmanjones]

Too sentimental, too much gilding the lily. Rachmaninoff always benefits by strong metrics with only subtle rubato and inflection. (Listen to SR himself play it.) Delays and late notes for expressive purposes is tempting but must be avoided. It's ALREADY intensely romantic music. The pianist and conductor doesn't need to pile it on. This is the first time I've heard Kantarow do this. Hopefully he won't go there and leave that sort of playing to the Lang Langs of this world.
