Something about it sounds eerily nostalgic. It yields the same sort of feelings that I get when thinking back to some of the greatest moments of my life. It’s a constant back and forth of reminiscent happiness and resonant sadness if not a mixture of both at the same time.
@@sadudas11 I've done a lot of analysis on this piece since, and I definitely understand what you're saying. Out of all 6, I definitely consider this one a true "musical moment" although I noticed some motifs from the 1st in this as well (I have to think this was intentional on Rach's part)
I believe that this interpretation is the best of all, I have not heard anyone to come closer and played it better. Period. What an incredible performance. Especially the middle part. Thanks Nikolai 😊
@@jungwirthmartin lilya zilberstein plays n. 6 better[her early record.] . nikolay lacks of power And intensity in his performances. The ideal performer for rachmaninoff today ~ volodos.
@@Alex-oy6ssi don't think so, Lugansky is crystal clear with voicing of melody, volodos is technically perfect, unfortunately not musicaly, that's his problem, he was technical perfectionist but often at the expense of musicality
@@jungwirthmartin @Martin Jungwirth sorry, nowadays every top pianist plays with crystal clear, voicing sound. Nikolai unfortun. has weak hands for Rachm. Listen to Volodos op. 32 n. 6, 33 n.9, Serenade, etc. No lack of musicality at all. Arcady today probably the only one who has Rachmaninoff style. Dense, rich, big sound. Also can mention Mikhail Voskresensky{op16n.6}, dang thai son.
Finally! My favorite Rach piece and Lugansky is amazing, as always I love the little romantic part around 4:00 before the finale Thanks Wanderer, I always devour your videos
🌠 CELESTIALI!🌠 This masterpiece has long been my favorite shorter work of all he composed. For me it is the most profound marrying of soul-stirring melody and electrifying virtuosity ever composed for the piano forte for a work of this length. The soft, tender and glorious melodies are enough to cause the songbirds in the trees to give pause to their own rhapsodic, golden-throated calls. And during the most powerful sections it sounds as if hand grenades are exploding. The "Master of Melancholy and Bard of Intimate Moods" didn't mark this gem "maestoso" for nothing. Yet, it's inspiration was simply to create a set of pieces to meet the immediate prosaic need to earn money to replace that which had been stolen from him on a train.
Obvious masterful performance with unique creativity, but the technique is fascinating, in that the acceleration of his key strikes seem to produce a physics principle of equal and resultant rebound reaction.
Lugansky is the greatest living pianist for Rachmaninoff
Can we just appreciate that first phrase? The layering, tonic pedal, and that long crescendo were perfect

I want this played at my funeral 🥲. The perfect farewell song
I see what you mean. I've always thought of the last iteration of the theme as a sort of swan song. That beginning F chord is gorgeous.

lazar berman
@@samaritan29 for me not, unfortunately Berman is not as lyrical as Lugansky is, just my opinion

Ohne Frage einer der ganz großen Pianisten unserer Zeit, ausserdem eine noble Erscheinung.......

I listen one soprano human voice during this romantic part 😍
I love this whole phrase 3:47-4:37
@@sadudas11 This part is so peak
I think this might be the best piano piece ever written, for me.
Perfection and others adjectives are insufficient to qualify this master perfomance. Lugansky is always the best.
THE BEST VERSION OF THIS MOMENT MUSICAL Op. 16, No. 6!!!
Best performance of this piece, incredible dynamics

Celestial 100%
Often wondered how these readings have been influenced by other renditions; however this originality is unmistakable.
È il più grande erede della grande scuola russa. Meravigliosa esecuzione!!!!!
Extraordinary performence!

BRAVO MAESTRO 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ein schönes, bündiges und auch poetisch überzeugendes Interpretationskonzept, das der Komposition durchaus gerecht wird.
...and a comment appropriate to this interpretation!
Beyond outstanding as always maestro

@@fredericchopin6445 hi chopin
shut up
@@fredericchopin6445 no but here me out the jumps arent very liszt sounding but that melody is kinda
Chasse Neige Etude by Liszt
I don't like the fluctuations in tempi and the whole thing is a bit slow. Gavrilov.
И произведение и исполнение великолепны.
