Rachmaninoff - Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini (Lilya Zilberstein)

Lilya Zilberstein plays Paganini-Rhapsody by Rachmaninoff, op. 43.
Conductor: Eliahu Inbal
Orchestra di Rai Torino

[@Kpax1954]

We do have had the fortune to see Lilya Zilberstein last weekend in Mexico City playing this masterpiece. I will never forget that evening!!!!

[@johnij14]

Probably the best performance I have ever heard of this wonderful work! Truly great pianist, and excellent orchestra and conductor. Never a dull moment -- every single note is a delight, and a memorable experience.

[@pierredevarro5001]

Really? How about this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH6ppa2eh7N6jdE

[@gloriaburd7609]

I NEVER tire of listening to Lilya Zilberstein's interpretation of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini. This is the best rendition I have ever heard yet! :-)

[@karenistalking5774]

She has power. She has an absolute feel for Rach. So authorative.

[@misicuni]

lo más genial de Rachmaninov es la maravillosa transición que hace entre las dos melodías: 14:46 a 17:28

[@johnij14]

The very best video, and audio, and performance of anything that I have seen and heard. Sets a new standard for online performance, editing, photography and especially for the smile on the face of Inbal as he thereby informs all of the treat that is coming!

[@pianofanful]

OMG!!! Have you ever seen such power and finesse combined? I haven't and I have seen a lot. Lilya looks like a young Jackie DuPre (yes?) What a treat to watch Inbal conduct. Notice Inbal's exuberant smile at the opening - who wouldn't be so excited for a performance like this? Thank you for the post and giving a head's up on Lilya's doings. - roberta from minnesota ( i am still overcome with this performance as I write this), But above all the love for the music she exudes!

[@rubennouchi719]

I love so much the Var XVIII. It is absolutely magic.

Oh! Muy lindo! Hermosa música, maravillosa Lilya, excelente orquesta y director. Bravooo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@davidjensen7919]

Outstanding pianist. I think this work was properly interpreted by all involved

[@ramonvelascoblas7464]

HAY SER UN AUTENTICO VIRTUOSO DEL PIANO COMO LILYA ZILBERSTEIN PARA TOCAR ESTA SUBLIME RAPSODIA DEL GENIO RUSO.

[@MrDJCrazyDiamond]

thanks a million for the upload. God bless everyone involved.

[@iwonamarchewka9854]

great performance, fantastic music

[@joseptardatorrabadella1410]

Bravo Lilya, una versión explendida. La versión de los conciertos 2 y 3 de Rachmaninov es para mi una de las mejores, con Claudio Abbado y Berliner Philarmoniker

[@rinacravero]

No ha escuchado a Daniil Trifonov?☺️

[@gmatthewb]

It is a shame that this video is so 'under-viewed'...especially when many performances by 'better-known' pianists fall short. I agree with vova47 that she's not very exciting, but her execution and stamina are enviable. For very different search results, try searching "Рахманинов Паганини Рапсодия".

[@alwatsonpianist]

Fantastic performance!!!! Bravissima!!!

[@goemd1]

She's not afraid of the piano...wonderful job!

[@paulburke3247]

Splendid!

[@mnmleung]

I particularly appreciate the camera showing the various instruments for variation 12 (9:00)

[@violavicki]

I like it at 17:00. I remember my teacher arranging this piece for me on viola as a student. Wonderful!

[@lubosschelepak7032]

Dear Simon and vova, as first, please, don't say about politics, it is usuall conspiration and this is a art, not bussiness. As second, Lilya is first world class pianist, she is among 10 best pianists in the world and she is among cca 5 truly musicians and is concert partner of Martha Argerich. How can you say such things? Are you trying make people angry? Lilya is technically unlimited and I could hear each note. She was deeply concentrated from beginning to the end.

[@VWC318]

Wonderful interpretation! It rivals my favorite by Leonard Pennario and the Boston Pops recorded 50 years ago! Just great!

[@camillebouchard6436]

Splendide ! Splendid!

[@contrerasbernabe]

The most beatiful part of this fine concert: 26:58 :-)

[@Christopher19870]

I agree with you Simon!

[@jeremymason16]

Very nicely done, right pace, technically very good, up there with Artur Rubinstein and Stephen Hough.

[@Cirowsky]

Variation XVIII at 17:20 is my favorite! \o/

[@pedroalbertosierraespinoza865]

APASIONANTE VERSION !!!!!!!!

[@lubosschelepak7032]

She isn't sexy blondie in red garderobe, yes, her face is not from playboy, but she has very nice soul and music, that flows from it. She is truly artist, not showwoman, as we can see often today. Please, listen ones more. She has so beautiful melodies and soft ton, never this sharp one. If she can't play for public, who????

[@miltonmoore7898]

So true. An artist for the AGES! Insuperabile!

[@bodyguardik]

she is 52 now

[@lubosschelepak7032]

......And she knows very good her limit as nobody and that's why she plays a little bit slower tempos, but very precise. When she is playing, there is some special aura of nice music. Nothing, only very nice. Slower tempo is her style, very inteligent, because bad technique. If you goes to concerts, you must know, that there is usually much more mistakes, than here. In live recording, she plays very very clearly. It's important, what you evaluate...

[@MegaPianogenius]

yes true with this one can savour every chord and note perfect in my opinion no need for speed this is class pianism

[@AlejandroSanAntonio]

Yeah, I think so...

[@paul-zx5du]

Cameraman missed the glissando. 😭

[@marioalonsosanchezparedes6004]

..Lilya..¡ que empeño !..Y sin poses eróticos..(la mala costumbre de hoy). Tan solo sabes que estas frente a una gran orquesta..y ..un buen autor de la música..Y das todo.. ! Adelante !..tus deditos de gran fortaleza..caminan..bailan..encantan..obedecen a tu disciplina de horas.. ..Ah !..y tu soberbia personalidad..te hace BELLA....(si tan solo pudiese limpiar tu piano..)

[@miltonmoore8369]

SORRY YOU HAD TO WAIT SO LONG FOR "LIKE." 😩 OF COURSE ONE REASON MUST BE THAT YOU TUBE ONLY RECENTLY BEGAN GIVING TRANSLATIONS, SO THAT IMPAIRED MANY POTENTIAL ENDORSEMENTS. THIS IS THE VERSION I RE-WATCH THE MOST, ALONG WITH HER RACHMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO #1. (AVEC APPRECIATION TOJOURS! DISTINTI SALUTI!) 🌠👏👍😸🤠🤗🌠

[@elainecamargo4787]

Cadê a orquestra??? O som está todo no piano. A orquestra é tão importante qto.ele.😠

[@dimitridiamant5359]

Here, Lilya Zilberstein beats Artur Rubenstein, and the Turin Orchestra beats the Chicago Orchestra; and I say this with a little bit of reluctance, because I was born in Chicago, and raised in Evanston.

[@2012mayans]

17:23

[@yooolue]

is there a flaw at 23'14"?

[@patricioenriquerey4598]

Yes!!!

[@vova47]

Byron Janis is also great in this piece, But Lilya has a healthier approach and no neurotic qualities at all,so while being a shade less exciting, perhaps it suits Rachmaninoff a little better. He was a very healthy pianist....But they both definitely great, this side of Moiseiwitsch and Rachmaninoff himself.

[@miltonmoore8369]

WHAT WAS "NEUROTIC" ABOUT THE RECORDING BY BYRON JANIS? YOU ARE PROJECTING THIS DEMEANING CRITICISM OUT OF YOUR OWN DISTORTED MIND.

[@AlejandroSanAntonio]

Why her rachmaninov isn't very famous?! Is great! Why another pianists are trash and very famous like Lang Lang????!!!!

[@lubosschelepak7032]

as last....for your level, she has fewer, than 5 bad note at all and I know this rhapsody with more, than 30 interpreters!!!

[@JJTownley_Classical-Composer]

No, there isn't, not really.

[@theroebuck123456789]

I only watched the video because I wanted to see the vaping guy on the thumbnail

[@miltonmoore7898]

Buzz off, you infernal waste of space. I only watched the video to see if some lunkhead like you would offer an inane comment.

[@dekkstr_music]

the orchestras great but pianist makes too many mistakes! she needs to practise those fast bits more, it's really not to performance level
