WEMP 2023 - Nikolai Lugansky | Full-length Recital, closing the 10th edition

[@ukdavepianoman]

An extraordinary recital and perforamnce. Lugansky is one of my favourite pianists - daring but controlled, big dynamic contrasts, superb technique and a direct, honest approach. I know he's amongst the best of the best but I still find it remarkable he can play Rachmaninov solid for 1.5 hours and still look cool as a cucumber at the end.

Невероятной красоты произведения в потрясающе волшебном исполнении. Спасибо за бесценный подарок❤❤❤

Unbearable beauty, not from this world , sensitive, tender yet confident touché

[@pianistegolfeur]

La vidéo est d'une qualité exceptionnelle sur tous les plans, et le programme tout autant ! Lugansky est ici à l'apogée de son art Rachmaninovien ! Et toujours la même classe....Exceptionnel !!! Bravo Nikolai !!!

[@romantic_piano_lovers1215]

Je pense qu'il a joué et enregistré l'intégrale de Rachmaninov. L'empereur Lugansky n'est jamais décevant.🌠⭐️🎖

[@Radiatoron88]

A tremendous pianist whose hands must be made of velvet-covered titanium!

[@ВалентинаФилиппович-ю9т]

Праздник МУЗЫКИ ! Празник ЗВУКА ! Подарил Николай Луганский .БРАВО !

[@alexbrk1157]

I have alway been kind of intrigued by the almost « too good to be true » perfection of Lugansky’s recording of the Etude-Tableaux… It even made me questionned myself about the authenticity of the recording, even to the point that I considered the fact that there might have been some rearrangements of some sort after the recording. But this live concert definitely comforts me in the idea that his playing is just pure genius, and emerges from a deep understanding of what Rachmaninov’s music is all about. Simply incredible.

This man has only one purpose in this life. To play Rachmaninoff as it should be played, and often. Thank God!

[@randomguy6934]

He might play in rachmaninoff, but only he speaks in lugansky. And he is special, for me too.

Einer der ganz großen Pianisten unserer Zeit........ Ein wunderbarer Künstler und Mensch. 1:47:01

[@germanchris4440]

Kennen Sie den Mann, daß Sie ihn menschlich beurteilen können?

[@paulchou8257]

Lugansky is a pianistic artist. His play reminds me that of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Bravo!

[@paulturner1973]

I’m not trying to be provocative, but I find ABM overrated. Supposedly he never hits a wrong note (as if that were all that mattered), but of course he does. More importantly, I find him almost always clinical, cold and motoric, though I admit his approach suits things like Beethoven Op 111 and the Grieg concerto. But in Debussy, for example, he is completely outclassed by a pianist like Gilels…

[@paulchou8257]

well, those terms almost can be applied to Lugansky too :-) @@paulturner1973

[@silvio2869]

Overrated? Michelangeli was beyond perfection Maybe It was his "limit"( as Richter understood). Posterdati

[@ericastier1646]

Yes he really deserved a full bouquet of flowers at the end and a beautiful young woman handing over the flowers. He is the successor to the great Russian pianists Rachmaninov. Other than that it looks like a great concert hall and well organized as can be expected in Switzerland.

[@huh8338]

Thanks for sharing this magic sound❤❤

[@WEMPULLY]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@tatyanashepova4037]

Божественно❤

[@emilyhutjes]

Nikolai Lugansky (51) and Alexander Malofeev (21) both studied also with Sergey Dorensky in Moscow. Their sure but sensitive touch and their total emotional understanding of the compositions have almost the same musical beauty. Their technique is also perfect. What a gift these two give to the musical world. 🌷🌷🎹🎹🙏💙💙 Thank you very much WEMP. (Netherlands)

[@LionelloG.-ro6jn]

Grazie della preziosa informazione. Pare che anche Matsuev sia stato allievo di Dorensky, che quindi è stato il Maestro dei tre più grandi pianisti di oggi! Merita un monumento!

[@ЭлемХусаинов]

Tatiana Nikolaeva was his first master in Moscow Conservatory. She's mostly his Master

[@DanieleDiPomponio]

Programme monstre! Pianist monstre!

[@BrianPaick]

Lugansky comes closest to achieving the oceanic sound Rachmaninoff reached for in the Maestoso. The infinitely overpouring notes, sweeping and yet distinct ... the wall of sound blasting outward, and yet with a beautiful, clear melody singing above. Absolutely magisterial. What's remarkable about this particular moment musical is that I can't think of a timbre which would successfully capture Rachmaninoff's vision. The piano comes close, but the notes die away too quickly. Strings would be scratchy and besides not rich enough. A full orchestra wouldn't allow the melody to sing. Perhaps a single movement piano concerto-fantasy?

[@fernandomariacavaller5575]

Lugansky always excepctional. Magistral.

[@steveegallo3384]

Amazing....the finesse with which he tackles the impossibly complex passage at 40:30.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

[@Reboost269]

There are professional pianists, and there are masters. Lugansky is a master

Are you referring to the 1913 or 1931 version of this sonata?

Just relax. You probably needed to be there, to experience this extraordinary recital and simply let your joy be expressed, without judging anyone else. Have a good day.

[@ClassicalRaritiesChannel]

​@@WEMPULLYoh I've been to recitals like this way too many times. The London crowd isn't any better. Say what you want but this behaviour is inconsiderate towards those who came to listen to the music, not people's laughs

[@WEMPULLY]

I'm not questioning the fact that you go to concerts. I just think that you're assuming that the audience wasn't respectful when in fact it was an admiring, enthusiastic and polite audience, which the maestro pointed out.

[@nacho.pianist01]

He is a great pianist. The fact that he plays the Corelli suite in a friendly and fun way does not mean that people have to be silent like mannequins. He plays it in a fantastic and funny way. It's great that people laugh because they need that. Cheers

[@alessandrocatania7249]

Portare Rachmaninoff nel secondo millennio con tanta freschezza ed eleganza poteva farlo solo un grande musicista come Lugansky. Complimenti e un grazie sincero a chi ci ha permesso di poter godere di tanta bellezza.
