N.2 is out of this world...what a great pianist Ashkenazy
true dat
sono d'accordo
Ashkenazy playing Rachmaninoff is always something special. these videos are a treasure to Rachmaninoff lovers.
i realize I am pretty off topic but does anyone know a good place to watch newly released movies online?
@Hezekiah Abdiel flixportal :)
@Milan Achilles thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !
@Hezekiah Abdiel You are welcome =)
Ashkenazy is my favorite interpreter of the preludes and etudes!
The performance is out of this world and his technique is so flawless. His hands are so beautiful. He achieves perfection without all the bending and swaying of more recent pianists and no facial contortions, no looking to the heavens. He doesn’t get in the way of his interpretations. He is Apollonian.
Yea he was a true behemoth of the piano
But I love his very subtle eyebrow and mouth movement. Ashkenazy has been one of my top 3 pianists ever since I heard one of his recordings 30 years ago, and I find that his “sound,” “touch,” whatever you want to call it, is so unique that I automatically recognize it. Which is pretty amazing considering the huge number of pianos he’s played over the years! You really should check out the documentaries about him on the Allegro Films channel; one is from about 1963 when he first “relocated” to England from the USSR. Luckily for us, the man who made the documentaries really loved Ashkenazy’s easygoing, down to earth personality and kept making documentaries about him. Enjoy!
Die Werke von dem großartigen russischen Komponisten Sergej Rachmaninow waren von meiner Jugend an und sind für mich heute immer noch Juwelen der Musikkunst überhaupt!
Beispiellos vom großen Rachmaninow- Kenner und Pianisten unübertroffen interpretiert!
There are no words for Ashkenazy’s brilliance, his intense, intelligent, and super flexible musicality. He plays with such controlled ease, just superhuman!
This is THE best version of no. 5 I've ever heard! Ashkenazy somehow manages to phrase the melody across the entire first section in spite of all the bombardments of the lower parts. And the soft reprise is unique. This performance alone is enough to mark a great artist.
I remember getting the CD with Ashkenazy playing the op39 etudes and the Corelli Variations back in the early 90's. At the time I didn't know who Ashkenazy was. I was just discovering classical music. This CD remains one of my most loved recordings and I've listened to it so many times. Thank you mr Ashkenazy 🙏

He played something after 9. What was it?
@@joycepenn3830 what?
So many brilliant pianists out there ... and each one puts his/her own stamp on the music.
But yet, a very extreme few with the same mastery and poetry as Mr Ashkenazy.
finally I found the best interpretation of n.5. Ashkenazy, unlike others, had courage to hammer the keys with ultimate passion.
@Rudolf Cicko Yes, I did. And I admit I was wrong with my conclusion. Kissin's interpretation from his 1985 Tokyo recital is the best recording, in my opinion.
I absolutely love his playing for its non-frivolous passion and directness. Beautiful music simply stated.
19:35 this part, brought me to tears... I thought I was liking somewhat more energetic touch like luganskis but man i was wrong
The Opus #39 are extremely multi dimensional .At once commanding to the extreme and the then beyond the transcendental . Rachmaninoff moves thru all the themes and nuances in a way most pianists where never meant to reach . Together with the opus #33 you have some of the greatest moments in Modern and Romantic Music
combined to extraordinary effect .
Ashkenazy displaying superb musicianship and understanding in these taxing masterpieces. His brilliant technical mastery always at the service of the music.
I think, allegrofilms is one of the greatest channel in youtube. I am looking forward to new Ashkenazy videos.
Thank you very much for your comment! Here you can find all our videos about / with Vladimir Ashkenazy: goo.gl/mSkg1O. Enjoy!
I love how Ashkenazy always walks out to the piano like a BOSS.
Haha yea the Putinesque small man swag
Ashkenazy is truly a master, with sensitivity, feeling, and knowing when to bow to the music, not just letting ego take over to play fast for the sake of showing off. That is how you tell a true respecter of Rachmaninoff. For me, only Ashkenazy and Luganski really encompass this. Lisitsa is another force, with emotional aspects to her performances which I love, but Ashkenazy will always be my first love for Rachmaninoff. He makes me cry with feeling and the knowledge that he does justice to Rachmaninoff's work. I also like the way his lips move when he plays. Totally endearing.
I thank to Allegrofilms for the post this
Treasury with this great pianist.
Incomparably a fantastic reading....thank you Ashkenazi, can't thank you enough !!!
Ashkenazy and Rachmaninoff: the duo that can always take my mind away from all my earthly concerns.
Dans son domaine de prédilection...le maître fait le tour du propriétaire. Merci encore.
Always amazing! Ashkenazy is always brilliant. Great! Thank you!
Back in the the 60’s during a lesson with my esteemed teacher the mailman rang to deliver Ashkenazy’s complete Chopin Etudes recording, will never forget her anticipatory excitement of this album. All these years later, having heard most of his repertoire, now know why she was a devoted advocate of this artist’s technique and musicality.
Ashkenazy... there are no words. His interpretations are the last word.
No3 is soo magical/mystical and epic!
It is 2022 December and I still thank you for this priceless video of the great Ashkenazy. (Holland)
Браво! Рахманинов и Ашкенази!!!!!
How does he play that etudes so smooth with such a small hands will be always a mistery for me.
Even leaving his ring on left hand and stretching would make a noise against the key?
@@ciararespect4296 His ring makes no noise. Ashkenazy is beyond brilliant, technically, so I’m sure he never thinks of his wedding ring. If it bothered him, he would have removed it hand asked his wife to hold it for him….she rarely his performances.
@E A Pianist - Ashkenazy found a way! He said in a documentary that he tried to refuse representing the USSR at the second Tchaikovsky Competition because of his small hands….he showed them to the committee and tried to tell them that Tchaikovsky’s piano music wasn’t right for him. But the USSR had lost the first competition to an American (Van Cliburn) which had greatly embarrassed them and the government. So Ashkenazy was told that he would play, and that he would _WIN,_ or he would never play the piano again, they would kill his career. He rarely played Tchaikovsky throughout his career, but he plays Rachmaninov! Go figure, lol!
@@voraciousreader3341 yes I know. But I have same hand span as his and wear a wedding ring. It does make a noise on adjacent keys if stretching to a tenth for example?. Maybe he has a bigger 'bridge' therefore not affecting the ring
very nice🤗🎹✨✨✨💯👍 his No.1 great pianist!!!
The playing of 1 here is absolutely insane. I would like to hear him play 5 when he’s fresh. I think some parts were muddled and he does literally have sweat falling from his face at the end. Still epic!
БАААЛЛИИИИИИИИН - настоящий артист!!!!!
Him playing these never fails to trip me out hard lol
2 and 7 are easily the best performances of the respective pieces in the world.
but 2 and 8!
Outstanding man. Love him. Thank you, Volodia
Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов, этюд-картина опус 39 номер 4, а также этюд-картина опуса 33 номер 5. В исполнении Ашкенази и Луганского соответственно прекрасно..
Также Венгерская Рапсодия листа
Ashkenazy's interpretation of Rachmaninov's Etudes is the best. He really did draw colours from each line and breath of the compositions.
You must also check his recording of "Moment Musicaux" & "Corelli Variations", both superb
Living every note. Astonishing.
that might be the best ending ive ever heard
VA. Tremendous Artistry. He recorded the Rachmaninov PC 3 , several times. Both cadenzas.
Un GIGANTE del pianismo
This is a revelation, thank you!
Gracias por compartirlo.
this is really truly awesome!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That's magic! Thank you!
Je ne connais pas de plus belle musique
I have never attempted to play these works, but I have yet to find a pianist that play’s them in an absolute harmonic and balanced way. Even Ashkenazy’s interpretation is not flawless. This is due to the endless options of subjective interpretation these pieces provide. It is purely set upon the performer's character and aesthetic sense as to how the conflicting parts will be put together as a harmonic whole. In my mind I recall a phrase of music from nos. 9 for example, I know this is the way it should sound, and I would play it like this if I was able. I might get the feeling that I have heard it somewhere, but when I look for it, I can’t find it in any known interpretation. This is probably why Rachmaninoff and Prokovief are the greatest composers of all. You get the impression that you know their music, but you really don’t.
This is so true. I don't know why, but for most of Rachmaninoff's pieces, I have found it impossible to find a pianist who interprets a piece in exactly the way I would. It doesn't help that my own ideal interpretation is constantly changing.
It seems you both consider interpretation as a flaw. Not so, the kaleidoscope of options is what makes Rachmaninov, Rachmaninov. FP&P you state that it is “impossible to find a pianist who interprets a piece in exactly the way I would”. The beauty of individual performances. I play this opus each performances emerges as something different in terms of “interpretation”.
@@ernieragogini3994 I definitely overstated what I meant, though I do think that some "interpretive choices" really can't be condoned. I listened to Nos. 1,4,9 now-none in those for me, but then Ashkenazy is a very fine pianist, one of my favourites, and although I made the previous comment on this video, I wasn't referring to him specifically. If I was to pick faults, I didn't like the non legato in the LH at 2:08, especially with the phrasing, but it's still a reasonable interpretation of those bars. I was listening to different interpretations of No. 4 today, and Ashkenazy is undoubtedly one of the very few who gets it right. The articulation is crucial for that piece - a few staccatos or tenutos in the wrong place can really ruin the whole thing. The articulation on 14:50 is unbelievable, and the diminuendo at 24:04 is not half bad either. Perhaps it was a bit foolish of me to make the earlier comment under the performance of the person I would consider overall to be the best interpreter of Rachmaninoff ever.
@@flyingpenandpaper6119 It seems some people just cannot see the forest for the trees or, in very special cases, for the twigs and leaves.
This is Astonishing
Bravo ,👏🌹
Superlativo.
Svaka čast.
Think i just saw a glimpse of god through somebody's hand for a quick second, that was neat lol. Rocked my world but im cool hahahaa

sublime magician
I noticed he has the habit of doing this movement before he starts playing (0:19) which I saw in many other films as well (Corelli variation, etc.). Any ideas what he is doing? Undoing the buttons? or crossing himself?
Yea it's a speaker inside his jacket that he turns on . The keyboard itself is silent and he just pretends to play
@@ciararespect4296 amazing precision in synchronizing!

What is he playing after No.9?
Nobody plays no. 5 better.
How the fuck can someone who supposedly can barely reach a 9th play Rachmaninoff???
*play Rachmaninoff this unbelievably weil
2:15 he takes the more difficult ossia octaves and probably plays the best cohesive op39 no1 I've heard
I've come to the conclusion that these types of people can already sight read the pieces from a young age before practicing them which give them a massive advantage
Shame recording quality is awful
Your second comment could not be more wrong. Skilled sight reading is not the reason (or even enabler) behind any virtuoso - its obsession, persistence, and curiosity from a young age that leads to the Ashkenazys of the world
@@y_limit_yourself I never said good sight reading was a prerequisite for virtuosity
You're however completely wrong with regard to obsession and persistence. These attributes of course have to be PART of a successful pianists armoury but innate talent and CORRECT practicing from the beginning are the keys to reach the heights of concert piano playing
Many have spent years practicing eight hours daily and have got absolutely nowhere with persistence curiosity etc. It's all to do with the brain synapses firing quickly and correctly
@@ciararespect4296 are you 6? your reading comprehension is sad. I never said you claimed "sight reading was a prerequisite for virtuosity". I said it's not the REASON behind any virtuoso, not that you said it's a prerequisite to become one - big difference dumbass.
Now why did I say this? Because I'm a pianist and EVERYTHING coming out of your mouth is a disgrace to my passion. You literally said "I've come to the conclusion that.... people who can sight read.... from a young age.... gives them a MASSIVE ADVANTAGE". Ask your mommy to read my first comment if you don't understand the difference between advantage and prerequisite.
And now you're saying I'm "completely wrong with regard to obsession and persistence." Your mediocrity speaks for itself - you are clearly not talented at anything since you fail to understand OBSESSION and/or PERSISTENCE is what's required for "CORRECT practicing" (your words, not mine :) lmao ur a fool
Here's a tiny bit of my credentials in case you still disagree:
1. Was practicing Tableaux Op. 39 No. 1 climax minutes before reading your idiotic comment
2. Learned Rach 3 Ossia Cadenza in
BACH compôs os prelúdios cravo bem temperado. O Preludio numero 1 é A Ave Maria da religião Católica. Pois bem um LUTERANO a compôs. Nada contra não é?. Vivaldi o Padre Rosso compôs sua obra prima o Lestro ARmonico. Bach a escutou e compôs os 3 concertos em homenagem a Vivaldi. Por incrível que pareça as obras de Bach ficaram esquecidas no tempo.Foi Félix Mendelssohn quem as tornou a público. O maior intérprete de Bach de todos os tempos foi o
Pianista Canadense Glenn GOuld. Ele morreu prematuramente aos 50 anos.EU estou dizendo isto porque ele falava que iria morrer aos 50 e assim aconteceu.O interessante da vida dele que era meio atribulada é que o maior prazer do mesmo era estar nos restaurantes a beira das estradas em meio a gente simples como camioneiros etc.
Richter is far better than this
