Rachmaninoff/Volodos - Andante from Cello Sonata Op. 19

[@Eric-jo8uh]

Have loved this cello sonata for almost 70 years❤️❤️❤️

[@roberrrisk177]

Rachmaninov’s music makes the piano speak, wonderful.

[@Capybarristan]

I was just listening to the original piece thinking “man, this would probably sound amazing as a Volodos solo arrangement”, not realizing that it exists, and it’s also performed by one of my favorite KZbin pianists

[@VinLudens]

Your interpretation and dynamics blow me away every time anew. Especially here, where there was a lot going on sometimes, you still managed to bring out the main voice so clearly while still nicely juggling everything around it. Your playing always makes me dream and imagine a day where I myself could reach such a level, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@AdamHowell23]

I thought that taking out the cello would leave something missing, but the magic of this sonata was still there. Beautiful and flawless playing! One of my favorite things about Rachmaninoff is the multiple melodies he has going at the same time. You bring them all out so wonderfully. Thanks for sharing this!

[@kenelliott8944]

If there's more beautiful music out there than this . . . I don't know what it would be. Very well done!! 😊

[@mangomerkel2005]

Every time I find a new interpretation of this sonata or movement, I listen to the part from 5:19 first. If I get the, as I call it, 'Rachmaninoff-feeling', I know this is a good interpretation. I love this part so much, it breaks my heart every time...

[@nicholashaniotis3508]

Wow, beautiful playing :) I've never heard a piano solo arrangement of the cello sonata. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@mymatemartin]

There's just something so instantly recognisable, so essentially Rach, in Rachmaninoff's music. Your playing is superb. Thankyou.

[@guidokorbach]

sensual and phantastisch, sehr vielen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Arbeit. Sie beschenken uns mit beglückenden musikalischen Momenten!

[@geofffreeburn868]

Rachmaninoff, Volodas and rach3master is etheral performance of this amazing piece.

[@LouisR56]

After hearing your interpretation of Zdes Khoroso, I couldn't wait to see you play this amazing arrangement by Volodos, I think you play his work very gracefully. Once again I was not disappointed, great playing!

[@charleshudson5330]

Oh, you're playing my fave Rach for cello, so heavenly, you do it justice. This is the first time I heard a solo piano transcription. Thanks so much.

[@kemarbaxter3452]

Absolutely amazing dynamics control….Blown away

[@mikeweaver8790]

This is the best I've heard this played other than by Volodos himself.

[@shimamooo]

This is so gorgeous

[@johnruelas]

Stunningly beautiful! Thank you!

[@itzelguerra2655]

Wonderful playing and artistry. You clearly had a vision of exactly how you wanted it to sound as you practiced.

[@estebansalas5464]

Awesome video, thank you for always giving us you beautiful works

[@michellelee396]

Bravo! 👏🏻

[@WorstSanta]

It’s divine…

[@busylifemeto]

Amazing interpretation an that Kawai is outstanding also

[@virtualpoboy]

What an absolutely marvelous arrangement, but even better is the performer. Absolutely Astounding in skill and expressive emotion of a seasoned pianist. You are a marvel with such talent! Thank you for bringing your talent to the world! (Rachmaninov is NOT an amature performer's entry in their performance repertoire and you have broken a mold that few can do as you have demonstrated.) BRAVO!! I await your continued output of performances!

[@Gallahaut]

Ahhhhh!!! Seriously who are you?!?!?! I LOVE THIS!! ❤️

[@korayus]

What a great music and performed very well. Thak you very much for sharing.

[@rachelpeham3508]

This is my favorite piece. Just as beautiful in this solo arrangement. Got goosebumps all over. Beautifully played, thank you.

[@brandendarlington4759]

Deeply beautiful and touching. I v subscribed to your channel for awhile and cannot help leaving my comments for this one. Superb play! You are a true musician that knows how to interpret music!!

[@woutervanwijhepianist3664]

Very beautiful. Your work should be recognized more :)

[@kevinlewis2116]

Vraiment superbe ! Truly difficult piece your rendition seems effortless, great job! Bravo

[@qooqoo1988]

Thank you!! I really like your channel. always lot of new interesting things to find out. you're literally the Rach master!

[@buckachiddy]

Sensational. I'm learning it too, it's certainly got some fiddly moments. I'm not sure what he was thinking though in the last two pages!?

[@NonaStrong-pf9or]

I love your expression of this work. It's how I would love to play it. (I got close, "but no cigar," as they say.) Thanks!

[@kylie_i]

I love it...

[@kylie_i]

my soul is peaceful

[@france4me117]

My heart absolutely melts when I hear you playing. I have finally order the Kawai Novus NV 10s and will arrive around November or December 2022. Can you please advise what settings and maybe software you use to get such a wonderful sound please. That would be superbly appreciated xoxo

[@midofaris1862]

Great👍

[@armhan]

You're a great piano performer, I love all you rendition of FF pieces. Did you study classical piano or are you selfthought?

[@rach3master]

Thanks! I studied classical piano for many years.

[@EricLeePiano]

after hearing every performance on youtube (including volodos), i think your version is my favorite!

[@cristianpopa3866]

THE ONLY ONE HYBRID THAT SOUNDS 100%LIKE CONCERT GRAND PIANO.AMAZING.THE BEST EVER.

[@dhalsimflood]

what piano is that

[@TheGreatPerahia]

My heart is meltiing at the sheer beauty of the sound I am witnessing......Who says digital pianos can't be as expressive as an acoustic piano. All depends on the skills and emotional input of the pianist.

[@alexjun4165]

Truly beautiful interpretation, and fabulous job with the audio quality as well! what tool did you use for recording?

[@rach3master]

Thanks. The piano is connected my computer and recorded digitally through VST software.

[@EricLeePiano]

have you considered playing the adagio from rachmaninoff's 2nd symphony? sean chen has a great arrangement. i would love to hear your performance!

[@alfonsopalmieri1]

bravissimo....

[@dannys-pianoconnections5169]

SUUUUUUUPER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wespeswes]

Next question, who is playing the piano?

[@CedricDeBoom]

This. Is. Immense! Do you - by any chance - have it written down in digital format? There is a piano solo arrangement on IMSLP, but yours is just breathtaking.

[@rach3master]

Thanks. The arrangement is not mine, by Volodos'. You might find it if you search for Christian Jensen, who transcribed it.

[@КираКривенко-ы5к]

Hello, are there any notes

[@wespeswes]

It is so fantastic! Is your version different than Volodos' version? I hear a few differences... If so, is your script available? Thanks in advance.

[@wespeswes]

I realise that I actually do have your script!

[@Xanadu2025]

What are the settings on the Kawai touchpad?

[@rach3master]

I don't think I changed much. Maybe the touch setting to Light.

[@wespeswes]

Next question, who is playing the piano?
