Chopin - Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 in D-flat major

[@virtualpoboy]

An acoustic, Steinway gives a totally different aura to any piece played. Take the superb Chopin creations, add an artist with the sensitivity to weave aural magic and one is transported. When paired with the sumptuous artistry of this extraordinary artist this gives a true picture acoustically of any work written for piano, this one shines! As per my usual response when hearing her, I am captivated as she weaves her magic, breath held with the turn of each phrase nuanced as only she can. My spirit lifted as only music can do and her as my guide......."Much gratitude for your sharing" comes from my spirit!

[@armando9263]

Truly wonderful interpretation, even more beautiful than that of 5 years ago. A big thank-you !!!👏👏👏🙏

[@brogancowart3473]

I dont know how your not playing these on a chopin comp Is so perfect

[@imfamous385]

Hi Rachmaster. You see, your last performance of this beautiful piece is and always will be my reference on the entire internet!! The way you play it is absolute perfection.

[@imfamous385]

2019 version is so serene😭😭😭

[@PeachtreeDrive]

Just found your channel through an Rach cover. You are an amazing pianist. I started less than 2 years ago and have been posting progress videos on my channel. Hoping in maybe 10-15 years I can play as well as you. So effortless. Nice job man.

I love this Nocturne 🥰 It’s so expressive and dramatic - you played so awesomely! Very emotionally 👏🏻

[@ThePianoVault]

Your previous recording of this was always my 'go to' performance of Op.27 No.2. You've just created a new one. Thank you for your playing!

[@soapiercosine409]

i listened to your last interpretation when learning this piece and glad its stuck with you all the same its stuck with me. Great to hear you play it once more.

[@julianereinheimer1999]

Always in awe with your performances 💖

[@cannedfruit9000]

Beautiful rendition of the most sugary sweet piece ever written. I hope to play it someday.

[@Cinemashow99]

Poh, what nice and what an incredibly brilliant sound your Steinway has! Your playing sounds as velvet.Thank you.

[@gegemeow3457]

I hope you see my eager eyes waiting for the new version of Le Cygne by this piano 🤩 it’s amazingly beautiful and I keep circling all your playings!

[@mulleralban4703]

The improvement of your channel is insane, the piano/sound capture are perfect. This nocturne is difficult in two ways: learn it then put all the substance out. You managed to do both. Congrats.

[@sabmat5876]

👏 well done on a beautiful performance. I would give anything to be in that room listening to this cover live

[@loumeey]

You deserve one million more views, don’t stop uploading nocturnes.

[@korayus]

Perfect as always. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@8413Lucas]

Absolutely gorgeous, this was so beautifully executed!

[@mathieujabbour7544]

Beautifully played and filmed

[@alb4428]

That piano is well-deserved. I have been following your work for years and you are a big inspiration for me. Also, can you play zdes' khorosho on this piano too? One of my favs.

[@4ss4ss1n5]

A smile appeared on my face when I saw the new video.

[@TheDomino1999]

Amazing! Would love to hear the Op. 27 No. 1 as well!

[@HagerHaus]

Beautifully played. Thank you for sharing! :)

[@MrWhiteKeys1]

Dude! You have a NY Steinway D in your LIVING ROOM! That's INSANE!! I have to use Pianoteq to get a Steinway D sound. I also have the Ivory II software that replicates a 1951 NY Steinway D from Carnegie Hall.

[@avantpianist6636]

This shows how immortal this piece is, even if this is the third instrument that you recorded on. Really love the way you polish a piece again and again for perfection. May I ask how long do you practice every day in general?

[@rach3master]

I don’t have a routine schedule. Could be anywhere from 0 to 10 hours although usually closer to 0 :)

[@zoink5484]

i feel like its a holiday when you upload lolol

[@andante5133]

Perfect, you're really a wonderful pianist !! I wanted to ask you what equipment you record yourself with (audio and video)? Great piano, great pianist, great sound !! You have more talent on the emotional rendering of the songs you play than quite a few professionals.

[@rach3master]

Thanks. I have 2 Panasonic GH5 cameras for video, and several Schoeps cardioid and omnidirectional microphones plugged into a Universal Audio audio interface.

[@paolofranceschi6874]

Bravissimo ❤

[@Gavinbrady-Pianist]

Bravo!

[@uwuwuwu525]

godlike ❤

[@christian0509]

Very lovely playing! Forgive me if I am a bother, but do you have any tips for training my fingers' strength evenly? I feel that I am lacking in my ring & pinky fingers & my thirds are definitely suffering from it. Any advice is greatly appreciated. 🙏

[@AlansPiano]

Can you please record Animenz’s Idol? I really want to heard this piece played by acoustic D-274.

[@townnet]

How the key action compare to your kawai hybric piano?

[@rach3master]

The Steinway is a little heavier but smoother.

[@townnet]

@@rach3master Have you measure the steinway down weight? How weight is it?
