Rachmaninov, Suite №2 for two piano op.17, Lugansky - Rudenko

[@tudorconducta1929]

OF course Lugansky is terrific. Always is. What strikes me with him is his humanity. Other artists play in a way that is amazing, but Lugansky is human to the core. Wonderful. BUT, can we all share our hands for the utterly amazing Rudenko!!! He kicks ass like a massive maestro. He's just as terrific as Lugansky.

0:15 I. Introduction 4:05 II. Valse 9:35 III. Romance 16:56 IV. Tarantella

[@giovanniguggia2399]

13:43 is probably the most amazing thing i’ve ever heard on the piano

[@edwardbak4459]

This is one of the best performances of ANY of Rachmaninoff’s music that I have ever heard. Stupendous! Beyond the breathtaking energy the balance, the phrasing, the style, the “intonatia” are all of the highest level attainable by humans.

[@VideoNOLA]

Agreed, it's right up there with the performance of this same piece by Ashkenazy and Previn several decades ago!

[@afritimm]

It is reported that Rachmaninoff and Horowitz played this at a dinner party in Los Angeles in 1940 on the spur of the moment. Can you imagine?

[@adoser93]

I have no idea how these two manage to get 7:28-7:45 so in sync. Some real musical connection to nail that section.

[@kasenthiago7769]

@Bryant Knox it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out!

[@bryantknox138]

@Kasen Thiago No problem :)

[@elalli99]

Their ensemble is spectacular. It’s one thing to be two brilliant soloists, but these two have fabulous ensemble as well.

[@charlesroberthayden-gilber4374]

Phenomenal in every way!

[@BalletBabyBoy]

I've never heard the Waltz played that fast...amazing! And the adagio theme is one of Rachmaninoff's most exquisite. Goes to your heart!

[@numex48]

Beautiful!!!Amazing! I just adore this Rach's Suite, very beautiful!

[@CagedWind]

Николай Луганский, как всегда, великолепен.

[@Granolax_]

Legendary performance

[@BalletBabyBoy]

Magnificent music! How I love the 2 suites for Piano.

[@cerritelliinternationalmus5558]

Two star performers, two slightly different pianisms that blend into a color that is sometimes turned and sometimes crystal clear.

[@xujia1001]

Lugansky plays so well. Thanks for sharing!

[@kettynez7994]

If your eyes are closed, you can't tell who's playing . . the duo's synchronicity is magic!

[@republiccooper]

Rudenko plays well too.

[@viktor1845]

@@republiccooper even better

[@123eldest]

21:02 of course rudenko just plays this passage with one hand!

[@itchy2345]

He's such a show-off! :))

[@kyaume21]

Very nice rendition of this magnificent piece.

Gorgeous!

[@trblcleft]

Wonderful

[@annamariamanfredi6624]

Thank you❤ Bravissimi ❤

[@Mohabpiano]

At the last movement, the page turners are facing more difficulties than the pianists

[@dskim24]

Funny you say that. I've turned for this piece. Yes, with 4 lines per system and a tempo of presto (full measure = 96) you start to feel like you're just dealing a poker table or something for the whole tarantella. I just looked at the music. It's mostly 3 systems per page, 15 measures in all for one page. Yeah.

[@usagi0901]

Waltz best performance

[@asankozhomzharov6892]

прекрасно

[@krystynablaszak7826]

Bravo!

[@VideoNOLA]

Excellent! I believe this rendition is second only to that played by Ashkenazy and Previn in 1975. Heard a mere handful of minor mistakes in the first three movements.

[@BransChris]

c'est précis !

[@alinapanarina5834]

В каждой ноте любовь к России.

[@BWV846]

16:58 Tarantella...............

[@jeffwatkins27]

After having listened to Rocky's complete piano works repeatedly for the last half year, I must say this one waltz is my favorite of them all, with Des Larmes a distant second. The rest seem to me rather overblown, too dependent on figurations for their effect. This performance rushes a bit too much for me,, but the longing rubatoes still carry the sensuous delight I particularly love in the best of Rocky's work.

[@claudioparrella183]

Bravissimi

[@johnbostrom8467]

beautiful but output volume als too low….

[@chal9575]

Sorry do you know by any chance when was this played?

[@cerritelliinternationalmus5558]

Immensi

[@mza3544]

W is better than 1

[@msotil]

Is that your real (family) name, Mr. Шариков?

[@militaryandemergencyservic3286]

In the same way only the last movement of Suite No. 1 is weak - so, too only the last movement of Suite No. 2 is any good...

[@christianspillemose4074]

Valse is too fast. Charm is lost. But Wouw can they play

[@gamingham9868]

I disagree

[@edwardbak4459]

It is faster than many others play, but the elegance of the phrasing is impeccable.

[@trblcleft]

I agree, the charm is lacking in some areas but the synchronicity is amazing. Then again, these are two Russian horses playing who is not known for their spontaneity, can't blame them for playing to their strengths

[@MrElijiby]

Almost everything is too fast and loud. Athletes

[@paulbateman5620]

Agreed. A waltz must dance. Hear Vronsky & Babin.

[@viktor1845]

I very love Rudenko, I am a fan. But they 2 and 4 mvt too fast. You cannot hear the music( dislike
