Vondracek's finest moment. His studio recording of this concerto is several minutes longer, more rhapsodic and consequently more diffuse. This is tighter. The pianism is jaw dropping and the conception both original and convincing.
For me this is the geatest interpretation by far of this work I have ever listened to.Kudos,Lukas!
hahahaha what a joke. The version of Giltburg was miles better. Vondracek only did his own interpretation which is very unintelligible for these orchestra. He only played some unrhythmic notes. Further he forced himself to play as loud as possible... I can't stand listening this all the time because I lost my focus for continuing listening.
@@benediktschlegel8233 Vondracek did play this work with my orchestra too.I found it genial and we had no problem following his way and ideas how to play it.It was eye opening for a lot of us.I am ok with you having a different taste,but don't tell me I am telling jokes!!!!!
This I find very offensive.I am a pro and not telling jokes!
@@benediktschlegel8233 definitely not, this version exceeds Giltburg 100 times, technicaly better, musically definitely better and mainly no rubatos for which Giltburg is well known, yes, Giltburg is definitely better at making rubatos every 5 seconds, this is the way how he interprets this concerto as well as preludes by Rachmaninov, terrible!
@@jungwirthmartin sorry I want to hear a natural feeling and a whole story which isn't the case at Vondraceks version. Even the orchestra couldn't follow him neither understand his story. Vondracek destroyed the natural feeling by using useless and wrong accents. The limits he showed us are needless.
@@benediktschlegel8233 the jury of the competition had a different opinion:)
Goosebumps! Stupendous technical ability coupled with the greatest artistry - thrilling.
We are proud of you, Lukáš !

This was incredible!
Subliem!!!Zeer blij dit werk terug te horen in 2019!!!
beautiful contemporary piece… the pianist reminds me Yefim Bronfman in the style and approaching to the piano
Drie jaar voorbij en toch steeds wondermooi!!!
@escapiststupor: Thank you for uploading this. The official website of the Queen Elisabeth Competition is a monstrosity!
I remember watching this (on screen) when it was performed, and, I think every connoisseur and non-connoisseur (the latter if watching) knew "This is it!". It's only a competition, but he transformed his performance in a transcendental experience. You can also notice the orchestra, lead by the truly great Marin Alsop, is thoroughly enjoying the music. Just check some of the performers while playing: their relaxed body, dreamy eyes while performing! He was the "winner", but that didn't matter anymore.
For the Belgian and Dutch fans: he's coming to Antwerp, Queen Elisabeth, playing Rach III, 2/2/2020!
Exactly, I was watching this and immediately shared on social media: "turn on your television and watch the competition because this is music history in the making".
I can't put my finger on it, but this performance is magical.
Spectacular, from beginning to end!!!
too spectacular and too theatrical... No music at all and very irregular which is a big shame. These story isn't understandable.
@@benediktschlegel8233 In my opinion music is still very subjective. the fact that YOU don`t like the artistic freedom that is displayed in this performance does not mean it is played badly, it just means that YOU don`t like this performance. It is a fact that a lot of people (Including a couple of people in the orchestra which I know) like this performance a lot. another fact is that he won the competition, and I don`t know you so I can not say a thing about your knowledge about playing the piano in general, but I guess that the judges are more then competent to judge if he was the correct winner of the competition. Please let it go: instead of bragging about this performance, look for one that suites you and enjoy it...
@@koenbaens1428 that is a real joke. Maybe only some people of the orchestra liked these performance. I think the first horn player wasn't happy at all when Mr. Vondracek runned away in the beginning of that masterpiece. A competition and classical music in general is always a hard world. For me it's a matter to play music in cohesion with orchestra and not only playing piano.
@@benediktschlegel8233 There is a difference in `I think` and `I know`. I know for a fact that a lot of people from the orchestra liked the performance, and you think dat the first horn player wasn`t happy, there is the difference: as long als you don`t ask the horn player, your statement is pure guessing and has no value at all. Next to that let me ask you a question: are you an active musician playing in a group on high level, playing with soloists? because i have the feeling that you have no idea what cohesion means in the context of a soloist. in my opinion (an the opinion from a lot of critics that where talking about this competition) something magical happens between the orchestra and the soloist. he might be coloring outside of the lines, but the orchestra is evenly expressive as he is at times. Let me be clear here, I am not trying to convince you that you should like this concerto. I just want you to understand why music is subjective and why a lot of people like this version. In the end there is only one thing that matters: DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO IT? if not, move on look for other music that suits you...
@@benediktschlegel8233 The only story being incomprehensible is yours.
Of all the endings Ive ever heard of this piece, Lukas playing from 54 onwards is the most stirring, the most heart-plucking Ive have ever had the pleasure to hear. Oh this must have been how Rachmaninov wanted it to be played. I find myself clapping non stop at the end. Its just magnificient !!! Thanks and BRAVO Lukas van Dracek. !!!
I don't think Rachmaninov would like this version... This version is the death of classical music. Sometimes too fast, different phrases didn't match each other, too many heavy accents, rhythmically irregular, orchestra had difficulties to follow him,...
As surefooted and solid a performance as I've ever heard. Mr. Vondracek certainly has the goods to be a major pianist of the 21st century. He reminds me of a Czech Bronfman in his crouch and in his face, not quite Bronfman's girth however.
I guess im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Judson Brian Instablaster :)
La perfezione.
His cadenza is super good 👌
A Butterfly's Dream: 0-14´
Concerto n. 3 in D minor op. 30: 17´ - 1:00
A beautiful version...
An ugly version. Mr. Vondracek hasn't understood the philosophy of that piece which results in coordination problems with orchestra. I don't hear the main theme in the beginning of that piece in other parts.
Benedikt Schlegel maybe but he won
Listen, really listen, and, maybe you'll hear it as a very high qualitative jury did.
@@rpgisaboutlife4396 I have listened other versions. This version can never match Giltburg, Horowitz and Rachmaninov himself. A very unrhythmical and unnatural style of playing of Vondracek. No concept, no real story telling, wrong accents, bad coordination with orchestra.
Bravo Bravo Bravo Lukas - whenever I want my heart to be uplifted and thrilled, this is it -- the ending is pure utter magic !!!
Misschien al 100x bekeken en iedere keer komen mijn haren rechtop te staan: zo FANTASTISCH mooi. De emotie die hij in zijn spel legt. Brrrr kippevel.
Yes brrrrr. my hair also can stand up with this performance. Sorry I cant speak your language, but I understand what you are sayin.g
what a joke... i am in a nowhere while listening these version.
@@Nicolas30061 Wat een lachertje. Ik hoor geen enkele vorm van emotie. Hij deed maar alsof of hij probeerde emoties over te brengen wat niet lukte. Verder speelt Vondracek heel onritmisch en plaatste hij onnodige accenten. Giltburg daarentegen weet wel hoe dit meesterwerk gespeeld dient te worden. Daar kon hetzelfde orkest met dezelfde dirigent goed volgen en het logisch opgebouwd verhaal goed begrijpen.

As a professional musician it makes me sad some people claim to have absolute knowledge of art. Art is personal. That's what makes it art. Like it or don't, but never ever think you can win someone over to your opinion about art with arguments. Let art be art and enjoy it!
sorry this version hasn't created real art caused by musical and technical mistakes. Even the story is unclear
L’une des plus belles cadences jamais jouées. Notez la polyphonie et la régularité dans le “choral” à 16 voix (2x accords à 4 sons dans le registre aigu et 2x accord à 4 sons dans le registre grave en réponse) Il semble être l’un des seuls à avoir compris que chaque note de chaque accord a sa résolution dans l’accord suivant et que ce jeu de 2x 4 sons + 2x 4 sons crée l’illusion d’avoir 16 voix.
overwhelming
Mooiste klassieke stuk ooit geschreven. Nooit te evenaren door niemand.
58:50 his mouth says "aahhhh fuck"
Lucas vondracek plays very emotional this rach3. Great pianist like yefim bromfman.
In my opinion, Rachmaninoff would have been horrified by this performance, as I am. Rachmaninoff preferred his music to be played with emotional detachment. Vondráček is overly sentimental with this music, overly emotional. Just do some research on the performance philosophy of Rachmaninoff, and you will find that I am correct about this. When Rachmaninoff is over-sentimentalized the result is gushiness, which ruins the melodic line and destroys the overall architecture of the work in question. That is exactly what is happening in this performance. I don't mind pianists who take a new approach to this work. The problem is that *this* approach is in direct contradiction to the known performance preferences of the composer himself.
Lol, if you want real unbearable sentimentalism go listen to Giltburg.
@@MorbidMayem I just did! Oh my God I'm vomiting as I write this! You are so correct! Rachmaninoff would have taken back every note! So sad!!!!!!!!!!!
@@MorbidMayem Sorry Giltburg is able to express one story or one concept. The performance of Vondracek goes to no man's land.
@@benediktschlegel8233 Yeah, the concept of garbage.
@@benediktschlegel8233 You are welcome in no man's land with your rather no man's remarks. Stop being "objective" as you can't be.
Revolting. He plays this masterpiece like it's a score for some daytime soap opera. He has no concept of musical architecture at all, it's pure effect with way too much sweat. Disgusting.
@Simon Matthys LOL! You _clearly_ are an arrogant total fucking *moron* who knows nothing about music or piano performance, not to mention proper grammar, and is easily triggered by someone with a strong dissenting opinion. Bravo 👏
@@kennethdower7425 funny that you should call someone else arrogant and then proceed to be extremely condescending as well...
@@kennethdower7425 the problem is you claim that he plays it like a daytime soap opera and has no concept of musical architecture but you don’t really support this with any evidence. I find that at this level, the most “unusual” performances (kopatchinskaja comes to mind) the performer actually has a very good understanding of the structure of the piece, and so they have the ability to manipulate it in the way that they feel, which always creates controversy, but I believe that is necessary. How boring would music be if every performance sounded the same...
@Simon Matthys please listen carefully to this performance. A total chaos and no cohesion with the orchestra. A very boring performance where he didn't succeed making the whole musical story understandable. And a lot of rhythmical mistakes and wrong accentuations.
@ Kenneth. He can't even play Brahms and Beethoven
For me not good at all musically. I hear a lot of stupid and noisy accents. Further I hear a lot of irregularities and stupid tempo changes which results in bad a coordination with the orchestra. The main theme in the beginning of this piece has been the most important one. I don't recognise these theme in other places of the whole piece. It has no sense to listen the whole concerto if you aren't able to play the main theme rhythmically. It's very difficult to focus on listening when some phrases left the musical phases. Mr. Vondracek played too much for himself. Beautiful example is the main theme played by the horn in the beginning. The horn player had difficulties to play that theme because Vondracek was running away.
I disagree, Lukas put a whole new view on this concerto, mainly because of new tempo's. And ultimately I feel it makes a lot of sense.
Did you know that the orchestra itself marked this concerto as a 'special' one? It's true they needed to keep up with Lukas but they also claimed there was a sort of energy coming from him and the piano that made them feel lifted and energetic.
@@mr.strange7593 The same orchestra played this concerto much better with Boris Giltburg in 2013. It depends on the soloist.
@@benediktschlegel8233 Is this again an attempt of you trying to turn your opinions into facts or do you have an actual source?
@@mr.strange7593 The fact is that the same orchestra played different. The fact is that most of the humans want to hurry up, even in music.
@@benediktschlegel8233 No no, the fact you were trying to chase is that it played 'better'. Orchestra's play different with each and every concerto. What is the point you're trying to make here exactly (leave out your pointless opinions).
There is no comparison with the artistry of Martha Argerich. He, poor thing seems to be practicing with a lot of effort. It is a very difficult concert and you have to be a real artist to perform it.
Get your head out of whatever it sits in.
@Simon Matthys The same goes for reviewing your comments before you post them.
@Simon Matthys Yes this is what you are doing. How hypocritical.
