Garrick Ohlsson - Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 3

[@rainerlanglotz3134]

Garrick Ohlson is one of the greatest living pianists. The true inheritor of Claudio Arraus technique. Look at the faces of Ohlson and Slatkin after the finish. They knew that it was one of the great performances of this heroic piece.

[@elijahshabazz1806]

It's so funny how easy this guy makes it look to play these concertos. The octaves and scales and whatnot. hands don't even hardly look like their moving, just effortlessly. Amazing performance.

bro watch horowitz rach 3 hes 75 playing it

[@austinsavage4390]

Garrick is in his seventies too

[@rohinagrawal9727]

d1 glazer right here. at 75 ohlsson looks more young as a performer than horowitz. @@Emanuel-Turhani

His hands span a 12th thats probably why

If you were back in the 1800s most students studying seriously would probably have mastered the motor connection with such awareness! 😊

[@DionAriestanto]

Just now getting into Garrick Ohlson interpretations. It's obvious that his mastery over technique leads to uniquely lyrical performances. Love it!

[@PhilMatous]

I heard this piece at least ten times brilliantly played by others and Ohlsson has the most remarkable touch on the keys of anyone I've heard or seen so far. What a joy to hear it played differently than others play it.

08:48-09:34 - superb coordination between pianist and winds. Tricky section and executed very well!

[@normanswazo8586]

Wonderful, absolutely beautiful, ahhhh, to have his gift… I would play forever and a day onward to eternity. With gratitude… 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ericsabourin7661]

Quel immense interprète : il prend ce concerto au rythme d'un coeur battant et plus contemplatif que performatif...cette hyper-excitation qui anime les jeunes pianistes soucieux de rendre leur interprétation immortelle. Primoridalement, la poésie d'Ohlson, puis il s'anime d'une intensité croissante, appropriée, adroite, judicieuse.

[@charmquark6366]

Mr. Ohlsson chose the non-ossia cadenza that suits his lighter and more delicate touch, and the dramatic and undulating buildup to the thunderous descending chords is magnificent. A performance of this concerto with such finesse and a great communication between the soloist and the orchestra is quite rare. There really seems to be a great relationship between Mr. Ohlsson and Mr. Slatkin. On a different note, it's fascinating to watch Mr. Ohlsson's hands that I assume are close to the size of those of Mr. Rachmaninoff himself. When it comes to the quality of the hundreds (thousands?) of big chords in this concerto, hands really matter! The immaculate precision of the chords' rhythm! The improvisatory C sharp minor waltz by Chopin for the encore was such a revelation. Bravo!!

[@morganbandy717]

I didn't realize Ohlsson does anything other than the ossia cadenza-but this^ is proof. I think his ossia cadenza is one of the best out there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXWcaZWrq9tsi8k I agree that he's capable of tenderness-but I have actually always found Ohlsson to be an incredible powerhouse, which is why I think the ossia cadenza actually makes more sense for him.

[@robmaddison8645]

Watched him perform this last night. Such a mesmerising experience. Finished with a little Chopin too. Incredible.

[@18724AK]

Why a pianist whose performance of the Ossia is definitive doesn’t play it every single time is beyond me. That said, Garrick Ohlsson extracts more music from this work than I’ve heard before. He’s one of those rare pianists whose mastery is such that it can credibly be said the piano does exactly what he wants it to. Stephen Hough is another.

[@scottmiller6495]

What an incredible performance an epic night and a magical concert you only dream about ! The Pianist, The Orchestra and the extremely great Leonard Slatkin, what more can i say nothing better than this ever Period !!!!!!!!!!

[@zzmike]

I didn't know Ohlsson played this concerto. I thought it a very winning performance . . . . too often the most delightfully musical passages in this piece are WHIZZED past at breakneck speed and magical moments. (The end of the Finale, a case in point.) Bravo Maestro Ohlsson.

I am to watch Garrick Ohlsson play Chopin's piano concerto no 1 tomorrow. His performance here is simply astounding. bravo

[@harrymiley3707]

A few years ago, we heard him play this in the Hollywood Bowl. It was my first time hearing this piece. A magical evening to be alive. Each time I hear it now, I remember that evening, the soft, warm breezes, and the twinkling stars above LA.

[@cloroxbleach9222]

Detroit Symphony. Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin, conductor w/ Ohllson. Always include the conductor’s name at least in the description too (before we see it in the video). Makes a lot of difference which conductor you collaborate with. I. 0:56 - 18:30, II. 18:35 - 29:46, III. 29:47- 44:49

[@JohnSmith-he2pg]

Wow, I'm hearing a lot of notes I've not heard before in this concerto. Ohlsson does like to slow down things to be able to bring out more detailed and dramatic nuances in the music.

[@alexkuzmin344]

44:03 oohh, Leonard Slatkin always does this hand movement... So pleasant! It's like he points to the very culmination of the piece. The same way he moved his hand in cooperation with Denis Matsuev in 2013. The same part of the piece chose another conductor to nod while Yunchan Lim was playing in 2022.

[@PieInTheSky9]

12:14 Cadenza

[@beluch2768]

He knows the piece inside out, makes many sensible decisions and loves Rachmaninoff, but there's a certain frenzy lacking in the climaxes that other pianists achieve. A underlying sedateness and intellectual control that sounds (I'm sorry to say) slightly pedestrian.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

After watching this I had to go back to listen to Yunchan Lim's performance of this piece in the finals of the van Cliburn competition and was again blown away by what that young man does with this piece... as far away from pedestrian as you can get. I enjoyed Mr. Ohlsson's performance but as excellent as his playing is, it lacks passion. Yunchan delivers that without a doubt.

[@jenn976]

“Frenzy lacking” only in comparison to Yunchan Lim. In listening, there isn’t much difference at all. If you only watch, yes, there’s a difference. And this recording is taken at slightly slower tempo.
