Rachmaninov / Volodos Andante from cello Sonata, op.19

[@789armstrong]

Pure magic. If Rachmaninoff could have heard this, he would have composed a Concerto just for Volodos.

[@zoink5484]

spotted

[@donkgated8074]

Ah maybe but cmon, Rachmaninoff was a great pianist himself!

[@connorrichardson368]

donkgated rach was very very self conscious about his playing and even his pieces in general

[@donkgated8074]

@@connorrichardson368 As is the case with most pianists today - I know for a fact that some of their favourite beverage prior to taking stage include vodka!

[@tishhill9561]

@Carl Armstrong. Yes, how right you are. Volodos is our living genius❤️

[@michieldpiano]

Only Arcadi phrases it so passionately and perfect. The true depth of Rachmaninoff.

Боже, какой Музыкант!!! Какое интонирование, какое пение, какая проникновенность, импровизационность! Гипнотическое воздействие! Забываешь обо всем, в первую очередь о технических сложностях.Остается только Музыка и Красота! Это, наверное, его обработка, потрясающая.Слушается несравненно лучше, чем с виолончелью.Такая обработка - тоже талант! После такого исполнения все внутри трепещет и воспаряет в Вершины...! ❤️

[@Moptohor]

Полностью согласен. Хочется слушать и слушать.

[@GoogleUser-ee8ro]

it is quite interesting that he almost completely re-wrote the piece with different texture and slight different rhythmic pattern from the original piano part.This transcript almost sounds like a prelude which Rachmaninoff would have written himself

[@rioapril7045]

Extremely beautiful, a glimpse of the heavens

[@NOSEhow2LIV]

Of all pianists today only Volodos could make the cello line (and his own added counterpoint) sing so eloquently thru a rich tissue of pianistic texture Rach+..! Very nice to see this version, even if he slightly exaggerates here his own ultra-expressive style.

[@NordicHealer]

Utterly Amazing….I have heard it many times over. I never tire of his playing this piece.

[@EricLeePiano]

I listen to this almost everyday. It's absolutely magical...

[@ChristianNarvaezUF]

Incredible transcription and performance. Volodos makes the piano sing in this piece.

[@janicezany]

An oh-so-lovely Rach melody so richly transcribed and performed that one has to believe that The Master himself would be highly pleased. Where o where is Volodos today?

[@EnriqueGiliOrtiz]

Muy pocas veces una transcripción convierte lo que ya era una gran obra en una obra maestra. BRAVO.

[@roberrrisk177]

Oh man, that is Rachmaninoff at his best- wonderful but difficult!

[@EricLeePiano]

that chromatic flourish at 5:21 evokes the image of a swarm of fragments of broken glass spinning and flying high into the air, reflecting colors of light in all directions, culminating at 5:27 and then reassembling themselves into a mirror which is the Eb chord at the very end.

[@cicir423]

That is similar to how I have always thought of the piano entrance in the Intermezzo of Rachmaninov 3. Shattered glass - and when the chaos settles, that expansive and sublime melody.

[@EricLeePiano]

@@cicir423 Wow! Good comparison! The second movement of Rach 3 is one of my favorite pieces of music.

This is an incredibly beautiful piece of music as it is presented in the original Sonata for Cello and Piano but this is exquisite!

[@2oldfan]

Reminds me of Earl Wild - which is one of the highest compliment I could give.

[@PeterLunowPL]

I thought the same

[@オリバーオリバー-e4d]

Volodos is a big fan of Earl Wild

J’aimerais savoir ce que n’aiment pas les deux pouces vers le bas.... Il ne s’agit pas de leur jeter la pierre, on doit encore avoir le droit d’exprimer son avis en ce monde. Il est cependant toujours plus constructif de l’expliciter. L’anonymat des avis (positifs comme négatifs) me semble poser quelques problèmes. On aura compris en tout cas, que j’ai mis un pouce vers le haut ! Merci Arcadi Volodos

[@vagifbabayev5195]

Nothing to say!!!

[@-_--oh5du]

Где можно найти ноты этого произведения?

[@willgraham8878]

Volodos must have been Inspired by the Holy Spirit to compose something as "Sublime" as this...It transcends earth as much as any art expression can here...

[@ollir9352]

Definitely.

[@Viktorvelat95]

Transcribe or paraphrase, not compose; the music is still by Rachmaninov

@@christophera3330 then I'd genuinely appreciate it if you could tell me where to find it, because when I played it all I could find was a crappy internet copy with lots of obviously wrong notes and I ended up transcribing the entire thing by ear

[@militaryandemergencyservic3286]

check out my Rachmaninoff (I am the pianist) on my channel. Theres a little-known song by him I include (no singer included). Can anyone tell me what it is? Go on - let's see how good your early Rachmaninoff is..

[@willgraham8878]

The message I'm receiving is that God himself helped and inspired Volodos to compose this piece/song...

A lot of noise. Beautiful...but noise with a melody, *eyeroll* Russians
