Rachmaninoff Preludes Complete (Full Album) played by Lukas Geniušas

[@annnguyen1031]

Im 36, and for the first time in my life, i finally l understand those preludes, what a marvel ! Its never too late i guess

[@ediccartman7252]

I'm a former pianist and till now didn't know op.32 very well. I believe it's played more rarely, than 23. Anyway always great to make new discoveries even though Rakh is kinda one , you think you know really well.

[@gregoriogarcia7188]

38 here. Out of those, I have 25 years listening to them. And just TODAY I felt their full force. I just wonder what kind of accursed piano is this man using?

[@albertofassone4240]

Ich finde diese Interpretation absolut hervorragend! Makellose Technik, klangliche Phantasie usw. Dieser junge Pianist reiht sich schon jetzt in die Schar der großen russischen Virtuosen ein!

[@kvvkvk]

ich finds es nicht so gut Der Tone ist zu hart und einbisschen künstlich..

[@dmitrikanovich7556]

Mature, respectful, aristocratic, thoughtful - bravissimo !

[@marvinmeeker5331]

I greatly appreciate that care was taken to place the commercials between the selections. this had to have been done by someone who cares about the music.

[@matthewhevey1663]

that is nice of them. i totally had forgotten youtube still uses ads after using ublock and ogyoutube for so long

[@SebWilkes]

brilliant sarcasm

[@ev.e.8371]

on the other hand it's nice to know Rachmaninov is worth being heavily monitized :)

[@ikmarchini]

Put AdblockPlus on your computer. It's free. No more commercials, ever. Designed by an engineer who got sick of commercials.

[@MabookaMabooka]

WHAT commercials? have you heard about *blocking* commercials? (Of course not: you must be a musician :)).

[@nelsonjoseperez-sosa8809]

This is an extraordinary rendition. The pianist's virtuosity does not swallow the poetry of his playing. Thanks for posting this jewel.

[@stephanjwilliams]

I believe the final prelude, in D-flat major, is one of the most profound pieces Rachmaninoff ever wrote. Like Medtner's Sonata Reminiscenza, it is simply inexpressibly beautiful.

[@Matthew-nv2wy]

Here are the Preludes in key order: 35:58 - C Major 55:28 - A Minor 48:33 - G Major 42:56 - E Minor 13:35 - D Major 1:00:14 - B Minor 57:16 - A Major 3:48 - F-sharp Minor 40:18 - E Major 0:00 - C-sharp Minor 1:05:38 - B Major 1:07:57 - G-sharp Minor 32:26 - G-flat Major 30:34 - E-flat Minor 1:10:25 - D-flat Major 37:12 - B-flat Minor 27:04 - A-flat Major 51:54 - F Minor 21:53 - E-flat Major 24:31 - C Minor 6:48 - B-flat Major 18:07 - G Minor 53:11 - F Major 10:22 - D Minor Note: I know most people aren't interested in this, but I put them in "key order" because I think it would be nice.

[@ronwalker4849]

MATTHEW, IN RACHMANINOFF THERE IS NO REASON FOR AN "ORDER". BACH, COUPERIN, CHOPIN, HAD TONAL ORDERS BUT RACHMANINOFF IS ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH MODULATIONS AND TONAL MOVEMENT THAT AN ORDER DOES NOT APPLY. NOR DOES THE WORD PRELUDE APPLY AS THESE WORKS ARE NOT THE PRELUDE TO ANYTHING.

[@GrV1Ty.]

@@ronwalker4849 would be great if you had found your caps lock button. And tonal movement is just normal for a piece and nothing unique for Rachmaninoff

[@somebody9033]

How interesting he wrong a prelude in every key.

[@mouf725]

@@somebody9033 Yeah it is isn't it, personally I find Rach's preludes the most interesting in terms of their order. He wrote the first when he was quite young, but apparently decided on following the 'prelude in each key' idea later on as he composed more of them. This is in stark contrast to, for example, Bach and Chopin, who set out to write a prelude in each key from the very start.

[@lubabalomahlombe451]

I find it very interesting. Fans of classical music will never miss an opportunity to show you how clever they are..

아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤

[@vulkanosaure]

This is my favourite interpretation, he's the only pianist that manage to maintain the melodic structure in a way that makes it easy to follow/understand, with other interpretations, i'm always lost into the complexity. I particularly love his interpretation of opus 32 no.4

[@paulvannessspianoworld1724]

Op. 32 no. 4 is probably the most difficult of the 24, and I have played them all. The problem here is that the tempo builds to near the end, and if you start too fast, it is nearly impossible (and unmusical) to build to the "as fast as possible" without slowing down, as is the case here. It works okay, but does not follow the composer's intent. I have other issues, but , each to his own. Check out my imperfect version on KZbin.

[@graziellaiaccarinoidelson9702]

Lukas sei un grande pianista !!!!!!! grazie di esistere !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ijustretired]

One of the most beautiful renditions especially no 13 in D Flat Major

[@sethjeppson5680]

I agree. Incredible for a live performance!

[@martinedwards9921]

I agree. No 13 is a towering and commanding finale to what is a hugely impressive performance of the Rachmaninov Preludes.

[@edwardbak4459]

Masterful! Such plastic rhythm, but not indulgent. Marvelous.

[@kurtkaufman]

Op 32 are especially amazing. There is definitely something special about a live recording by a pianist of this caliber. Thank you for this post.

[@paulvannessspianoworld1724]

I only hear audience at the end. I think it is actually not "live"

They're all inspired and lovely, but the voicing and inflection are exquisite in both the Op. 23 No. 4 in D and the Op. 23 No.6 in E-Flat! A master and a virtuoso! Ačiū tau, Lukas!

[@nadezdapatusova8630]

Genius Rachmaninov

[@nylehotaling675]

Opus 32, No. 3 in E Major- the best tempo for this M.M.55; These creative works are so in consonance with the tonality of the times, many would not want to hear any music more than this! Part of the tonal awareness was of war, of course; at the other end of the scale opposite of senseless violence, rapacity and death are the great creative musicians. After-effect of war, triumph of the deserving party. 55- the numerology suggests Prudence; also, Broadview. The entire Dayside self tonality can be flooded with awareness. Opus 32, No. 9 in A Major- Noble and Great souls, this probably isn't the same as Mahatmas, eastern- best tempo, M.M. 52- the number suggests Prudence, Unaffectedness or Detachment, Vairag; Development...

[@yamchathewolf7714]

Op 32 no 5. Is pure bliss

Why does the first one cut off before the end?? It kinda ruins the whole thing... I finally bought all of his preludes as sheet music, and wow are they complex.

[@shawnmand5607]

Why is the last prelude, Op. 32, No. 13, so loud and fast? No attempt to bring out the inner voices, which Rachmaninoff clearly marks with accents, no phrasing of two note slurs. At the end, all the chords are equally loud. I'm not denying this young man's immense talent, but he has a ways to go in the matter of maturity yet.

[@RozarSmacco]

Alexis Weissenberg also played the no 13 with some pep. Why do some many Askenkenazy et al assume this is a plodding funeral dirge? ie Occam’s Razor dictates it’s because they don’t have the chops so they assume a practice tempo. I can’t understand how you think this here is too fast...he takes a perfect middle ground tempo. Great stuff. Oh btw Slow and Boring does NOT automatically EQUAL maturity/profundity.

[@jsh31425]

It's loud and fast, but that's an interpretive choice, and perfectly in the realm of great interpretation, at least for me. Maybe this is a particularly appropriate interpretation for the final prelude after you've just played all of them live!
