Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 3 op. 30 | Complete

The Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, or colloquially the Rach 3, Op. 30 composed in 1909 by Sergei Rachmaninoff has the reputation of being one of the most technically challenging piano concertos in the standard classical repertoire.
Rachmaninoff composed the concerto in the peaceful setting of his family's country estate, Ivanovka, completing it on September 23, 1909. Contemporary with this work are his First Piano Sonata and his tone poem The Isle of the Dead.
Due to time constraints, Rachmaninoff could not practice the piece while in Russia. Instead, he practiced it on a silent keyboard that he brought with him while en route to the United States. The concerto was first performed on November 28, 1909 by Rachmaninoff himself with the now-defunct New York Symphony Society with Walter Damrosch conducting, at the Century Theater. It received a second performance under Gustav Mahler several weeks later.
The manuscript was first published in 1910 by Gutheil. Rachmaninoff called the Third the favorite of his own piano concertos, stating that "I much prefer the Third, because my Second is so uncomfortable to play." Nevertheless, it was not until the 1930s and largely thanks to the advocacy of Vladimir Horowitz that the Third concerto became popular.

Profound. And deep. And wide. Thanks.

Beautifully per- formed and re- corded. Wish there was video to go along with it. You clearly demonstrated why this piece is referred to as "THE MOUNT EVEREST OF PIANO CONCERTOS."

You are my favorite pianist. I love this piece. I love the way you play Beethoven Moonlight Sonata, especially the 3rd movement. I have seen nobody play it better. :)) I would love to see you perform live here some day in California. Perhaps at the McCallum Theater. :)

Hello. Congratulations for this beautiful (and live!) performance. I am producing a feature length film and would very much like to use a section of this interpretation. Could you inform me about the copyrights or point me to whom to contact about this? Thank you very much! (I have also played with maestro Tabakov a few times:) )

​@@ThanhHoa_NguyenI pondered over and realized that we "met"each other, watching this video more than an year ago 😊

[@ThanhHoa_Nguyen]

​@@taniapetrova9977Yes I still remember. More than 1 year, really fast. I'm happy to know you. When I read your comments, I often think "wow she's awesome". Actually I'm an introvert and rarely express my feelings or thoughts, when I see how you express your love for something so strongly, I'm very impressed. Greeting from Vietnam with love ❤
