Capuçon . Lugansky - Rachmaninoff Vocalise, for Cello and Piano

Sergey Rachmaninov (1873-1943)
Vocalise, Op. 34, No. 14 (1912/1915), arranged for cello and piano
Nikolai Lugansky, piano
Gautier Capuçon, cello
September 2020
Moscow Philharmonic Society
“… This was accompanied by a type of auditory hallucination that tormented me for months on end, day and night, even while I was asleep. I started to hear a recurrent musical phrase a few bars long, violently rhythmical and rising in pitch. It was based on a chord of a diminished seventh. In the cold light of day I tried to work out what it meant, even though the torment was permanent, even telling myself that such a phenomenon might be of interest to medical science. But try telling doctors about chords of a diminished seventh! Sometimes I would lie awake all night trying to work out what I was hearing - I wasn’t hearing it, but just thought I was - or to work out its pitch. I was forever trying to identify the notes and these primitive harmonies and to correct them, as it was the most frightful nonsense - ta raaa ra riii ri rii - going through my head in every conceivable key. I finally realized that it was a kind of variant of a relatively modest work built on rudimentary harmonic steps and one, oddly enough, that had had a great effect on me as a child: it was Rachmaninov’s Vocalise. It was this that had been the unconscious model of some of my own early compositions. “

HOW CAN YOU COUGH AT THE VERY LAST NOTE OF THIS MARVELOUS PERFORMANCE???

[@avwel3827]

Indeed, unbelievable!!🤦‍♀️😭

[@kennym5898]

I think some people do it on purpose! I've been to concerts were some knob starts hysterically applauding before the last note has had a chance to fade away.

He played it faster than I expected, but absolutely gorgeous playing! The notes themselves aren’t what’s hard, but his musicality and the emotion he can channel through his playing is beyond impressive!!

[@jimmyradcliffe6588]

A unique ability to materialize what is spiritual and to spiritualize what is material. Listening to it allows one to fully understand the dual exquisite nature of music.

Cello and piano is the best combo and in addition Vocalise is one of the best pieces, it is pure mastery and art.

I hear the longing to communicate in Rachmaninoff. I hear the piano concertos as a conversation between the orchestra and the piano. Sometimes he sounds so overwhelmed with the need to communicate that he trips over his feelings. He comes to the point as if between two people the limits of expression have been exhausted. How does one communicate sadness even with words? How do you express your loneliness to the other unless the other has also felt the same as you?

[@daniel3231995]

Such an aesthetic experience! Vocalise is a perfect example of high and late Romanticism, and conveys a sense of sadness and yearning to me. Just perfect Rachmaninoff.

[@creativecolours2022]

An aesthetic experience for all our senses as Gautier Capuçon is hot as hell as well.
