Рахманинов был прекрасным, выдающимся пианистом, что во многом сказалось на его гениальных произведениях- великолепная техника, удобная для исполнителя. Это бросается сразу, когда слушаешь и смотришь на пианистов, исполняющих произведения гениального музыканта. Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов наверное самый ,,русский’’ композитор. Слушая его фортепьянные концерты 2-ой и 3-ий видишь ТУ природу и ощущаешь ТЕ чувства, которые видел и ощущал этот человек в своей непростой жизни. Оказавшись за пределами России, композитор совсем перестал писать. Он стал только пианистом, конечно гениальным, но больше не писал, к сожалению. Музыка Рахманинова прекрасна, многообразна и она НА ВЕКА! Так же, как музыка других гениев(Баха, Моцарта, Бетховена, Шопена). Но Сергей Рахманинов мне ближе. Его музыка ,,берет за душу’’, слезы наворачиваются сами собой, а на сердце так сладко! Любимый композитор навсегда.

это миф, что он совсем перестал писать в эмиграции. в первые годы, да, после того как уехал в чем был, обустраивался и адаптировался, надо было зарабатывать на жизнь себе и семье. Но после 1926 года писал. Только что слушала его 3 симфонию, написана в 1936 году, великолепная, просто не такая распиаренная.

[@TomGoymour]

There is so much music I like. I have been listening to classical music since I was 4, I have written piano music, I play often, and as the years go by my hunger for experiencing new works increases. I didn't come across Rachmaninoff until I was in my thirties - that's a few decades ago now, but when I did, I already knew that his concerto no 2 was very popular and that he had a reputation for writing piano music that was very complex and difficult to play .... what nobody told me is how wonderful his music actually is! He is undoubtedly one of the greatest translators of what the piano can do for the soul. Piano Concertos 2 and 3 are among the greatest ever written. I know a lot of high-brow critics will go back to the 2nd piano concerto and state how it became popular purely because it was used in the movie Brief Encounter, it sometimes seems to get dismissed as if that was a 'huge boost' and the only reason it became popular! Now, let's be honest ... it is one of the greatest 33 mins of piano music ever written. I like his 3rd concerto enormously too. Whatever your preferences, Rachmaninoff is important enough for me to say that everyone who has an inkling of following serious music should listen to him. One of the absolute greatest composers in his field. Thanks for the video - it's made my day.

Rach's ability to write great melodies (Elegy. . . 2nd Piano Concerto. . . Valse: Suite for 2 Pianos) was unique and it never flagged! To live in the 40's for a classical musician, Rachmaninoff 's living presence was formidable! (Arthur Rubinstein, playing the 2nd Piano Concerto in a popular, well-attended movie was not unusual). As an 8 year old piano student, Rach was a "light in my darkness". Prelude in C sharp minor (even with mistakes) began my lifetime connection with classical piano. I never made it to the concert stage, but I became a music director for the public schools in California. Thank you, Sergei!)

Russian composers are hard to beat --Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Rachmaninoff....none to compare. It was a golden age from about 1880-1915. Russian ballet, art, music, opera, poetry, literature, drama -- the whole shebang. Yet there was so much political unrest and the country was poised on a precipice all that time. It is a very exciting period of history to study -- I have been intrigued with it for decades just as an amateur interest. Music like this can get you through a lot of turmoil in your own life.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

No, it’s exactly true. When I was younger, Rachmaninov was looked down on in the music world. Yes, really! Overly romantic, not genuine, etc. His concertos weren’t played at the Reine Elisabeth concours. It used to make me angry. I don’t think there’s a more genuine, honest composer than Rachmaninov. There is nothing flashy about his music, nothing written for effect. These days his repertoire is played at the Concours and elsewhere, and without the disdain that used to cling to it. Fashions exist in music, in science, and every field where you might not expect it. I used to be indignant at the disdain for Rachmaninov. It kind of hurt me. Well, that’s over, thankfully.

Rachmaninoff kept what I had hoped for of Franz Liszt, epecially as far as his concertos are concerned. A firework of romantic music, full of emotion, soul and power.

[@TheJorge2907]

Emigration to the USA Rachmaninoff made his first appearances in the United States as a pianist in 1909, an event for which he composed the Piano Concerto No. 3 (Op. 30, 1909). These successful performances made him a popular figure in America.

[@georgeshoode4349]

I first heard the Prelude in C Sharp Minor when I was a student at Boston Latin School. It was always part of any assembly which was called to introduce us kids to fine music and to allow us to enjoy sounds which most of us had never before heard. It seems that the Prelude has almost disappeared from broadcasts now, and I was so surprised and pleased to find it first on this playlist. I certainly hope that many others enjoyed it, and will seek it again.

I like very much his musical sentiment and the story of his life. The count Sergey Rachmaninof.left Russia before the Bolscevic revolution. In England performed his piano concerto N2 that gave to him an entusiastic audience. I eard this concert for the first time, when I was in the Anatolian highland, broadcasted from the radio from Sophia, Bulgary. Then after an article on New York Time, I knew that Rachmaninof family lived in Riverside (NY). I visited his tomb inside the Walhalla Cemetery, just few miles north of White Plains (NY).

Sergei is more than a reflection of an era. It’s a phantom asteroid who returns to set his sights on sound art. A stupendous wave laden with paradoxes from which obscurantism and the irrational escape, hypnotic factors defying vulnerable souls in search of the infinity. This sound architecture is a translucid and short tunnel that leads to light :D

not entierly true. He was at moscow conservatorium, where he was taught on how to compose, what instrument is good and bad with others and thats why he was able to add whole orchestra with piano into one masterpiece. The same with Chopin. He was good at composing solo piano works,but only after he graduate from music school,he was able to work with orchestrated scores and really focus on his talent

Compared to all the contemporary stuff like soundscaping, mastering for xyz speaker, headphone, the little intricacies of every DAW, VST, etc. - I'm not saying he had it easy, but digital tools actually make things a lot harder. While digital music might not be better, it is certainly not easier.

Dear Piano Classics, Good Evening From Mumbai, India. Many Thanks For This Fine Upload of Rachmaninoff's Piano Works. Imagine More Than 3 hours Of This Heavenly Music. I specially love His Piano Concertos and Preludes played by the Classy Vladimir Ashkenazy in Concert. I have a great love for the Piano Master Works of Prokofiev, Glinka, and Borodin in particular. Prokofiev's Piano Sonatas and Concertos are heavenly and can be appreciated only by Classical Music Connoisseurs. I am an Indian Christian of Portuguese Descent who was trained to appreciate the Piano Masterworks of Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Chopin, and many more from the age of 5. My Personal Favourites are Beethoven's Complete Piano Sonatas, His Piano Concertos, Mozart's Complete Piano Sonatas, His Piano Concertos, Haydn's Complete Piano Sonatas, and His Piano Concertos too. My Favourite Concert Pianists in this regard are Daniel Barenboim, Marc - Andre Hammelin, Alfred Brendel, and Claudio Arrau. Till Next Time Then. Looking Forward to more awesome and amazing Piano Recitals and Recordings From You. Note : I have subscribed to your You Tube Channel as I find it to be Heaven On Earth in more ways than one.
