Only Nikolai Lugansky gets to say, "Beautifullest." :D
Christian Vennemann That’s because he is the beautifullest human being ☺️
Beautifullestness
His deep understanding of Rachmaninov's music makes him one of his greatest performers
His playing is absolutely flawless... and I still cant get my around how long his fingers are ...
sexy350Zowner Lugansky is an exceptional pianist, and his hand-span certainly makes him ideal for Rachmaninov!
big and flexible hands are pretty much a requirement when playing rachmaninoff concerto 3, I learned it the hard way by actually learning the entire song and realizing I cant play alot of the parts perfectly,
@@TheNiceguy1156 that’s actually incorrect. The majority of the concerto fits into one octave and there are many pianists who can’t stretch more than a 10th and have played it flawlessly.
@@joeyblogsy Bingo
@@joeyblogsy can you named one of them?i think i could get something to leran from them
My favorite performer , specially in Rach.
I could listen to him playing Rach 3 fragments all day. What a technique.
Genio pianistico! El mejor interprete de Rachmaninov.!!!! Tecnica virtuosa! Musicalidad unica sus interpretaciones! Bravo Maestro Lugansky!
He's absolutely perfect. One of my favorite pianist. And his fingers are just made for the keyboard.
sigh. saw him play this today in philadelphia, going again tomorrow... i am smitten. i'd never heard such a tender, lyrical interpretation of this concerto; i cried through most of it. :) exquisite hands!
Absolutamente cierto,!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The BEAUTIFULLEST Rach interpret!
Rachmaninoff's 3rd Piano Concerto will always have a special place in Nikolai Lugansky's heart.... and I like his accompanying performance at 0:40. I would love if he comes up with his own solo piano arrangement of it.
Adore Lugansky.
Wow! I like when somebody walks you though the piece and does some good explanations like he did. I've actually never noticed some of the things he pointed out even though I've listed to the concerto many times and played some small fragments of it.
Ognjen Sobajic
Well, in that case, listen to Bolets masterclass. Quite revealing !
It was a real pleasure recording Nikolai in our studios. What an amazing talent.
0:38 he is his accompanist and the soloist at the same time, lol
Actually, I talked to him last night after a concert, and he said he learned it in 5 weeks when he was 18. I asked him if that was a lot of time or not enough. He said "just right".
Yeah sure
wow this guy needs to have his own channel. I love the way he plays while also explaining. I loved his video on Beethoven's 5th piano concerto.
Extraordinario pianista!
This concerto and his playing of it inspired me to learn the piano as an adult. He's a master of this Russian repertoire but no less impressive with other composers. I adore him and he continues to inspire my playing. I'm hearing him play two Rachmaniov Concertos this season, as well as Tchaikovsky, Beethoven and Greig. In May next year I'm travelling to Paris to hear him play chamber music with the equally awesome Alexandr Kniazev (cello) I'm counting down already!!
It's not until you see the work on the piano, and hear the part on it's own that you learn just how great Rachmaninov's writing for the piano really was. The quality of piano scoring in this concerto outranks any of the solo works, but a lot of the finer detail is hidden by the orchestra (not that I'm complaining, the orchestration is also phenomenal).
Lugansky is a brilliant pianist who understands the spirit of this piece, and deserves the utmost praise for his work as a musician.
I love how he plays both orchestra and piano parts at the same time in the beginning

Oh he is so masterful at this exquisite piece. Thank you Thank you.
Both Rachmaninov and Nikolai are emotionally and intellectually brilliant...
Excellent 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
What a cool and charming dude...speaks well, plays his ass off and wears jeans too...!
Purée le génie. Il reste sobre, il n'en fait pas des masses, il reste lui-même, pas hautain, et ne se la pète pas. Voilà un vrai pianiste, selon moi.
i have a feeling lugansky would be one of the best accompaniments for a 2 piano version of a concerto; he plays the orchestral parts so naturally; it sounds like its made for the piano
I love how he plays the orchestra accompaniment along with his normal role as soloist (when he can.)
His hands and technique are unique.
nikolai, thanks again for a walk-through and what sounds like a bösendorfer. this is my favorite next to the shumann. it is very large and complex piece. and the mofiv that appear and reappear in different form throughout. it takes someone like yourself to understand and put it all together. not easy. only valentina or martha could do this. you are fortunately in the same league. the final theme seems to resolve everything that occurred before. thanks again nikolai.
thanks "Philharmonia Orchestra (London, UK)" for the +1'd. please ck out my facebook subpage "Mikael Kenner Music Reviews" and give another "thumbs up" if possible. anyone who knows anything about "classical" might find my viewpoint an interesting read.
ok. so not a bösendorfer. but you got the sound out of the steinway ;)
So talented and of high intelligence!!
So perfect play. His technique is perfect and sound is soft.
@semicolin Hi, I also attended this concert on the 29th at 8pm, i sat front row in aisle G. i am actually a close friend of Mr. Lugansky. During the climax of the 3rd movement it was so beautiful. And he played it slower than regular tempo and it was just beautiful.
This is definitely how the best plays piano. Definitely the best. No doubt about it 😁👍
Amazing pianist ! He's the best of his fellow pianists.
What wonderful pianist, what a wonderful human being Mr. Lugansky is. Rachmaninoff could have no better champion, nor interpreter.
Awesome!
dat talent!!! incredible!
my got that Steinway sounds amazing!
I'm a 16 year old Aussie kid, about to go for my Lmus, and I think this video has made me almost definitely decide that THIS is what I want to learn after my exam. Ohh my goodness. I just wanna melt. UGH.
im ashamed to say i am (was) a pianist (was attending conservatory but now i sing mostly) and I just discovered this man this last week. I am absolutely astounded by his musicianship, unreal technique, and kind and genuine heart toward beautiful music. I really hope to hear more from this man. I dont think he has recordings of the concerti? anyone know?
He makes it look so easy....like he could play those passages all day without his fingers ever getting tired. My wrists and forearms can't handle the Ossia cadenza.
Sounds just as good without the orchestra! He's so good!
Magnificent.
this guy is uhmaaaaaaaazzzzzing. omg
He did learnt this concert in three days. He told this in his interview back at 2007. He said it took him three days to play by heart, so in fourth day he played it with his teacher Tatiana Nikolaeva without the sheets.
I have read about it. But he also mentioned that he had spent months before that to study this piece in another interview. I think what he means 'four days' is that he started to 'play it', but not 'learn it'. Yet still, he is unbelievably hard-working and talented!
Those video cuts are brutal.
It would be really nice to get Director's Cuts of these videos (i.e., as long as possible :)!
Dave Yost
Well, it's just that it cuts right into his playing.
It's like ripping up a USDA Prime steak and then keeping just a few strands.
Thanks for the upload :)
Well, I do believe you, but I just told that he told in the interview for the whole country. I guess it took him 3 days to learn the notes, but five weeks to accomplish as a performance itself.
ohh :v is he just play the open with 1 hand :v OMG WTF :v unbelievable
Great Pianist.
un verdadero genio del piano!
the beautifulest he says:)
thanks ^.^
I always thought that I could get dozens of preludes from that concerto.
@demosj And yet the third is the hardest movement yet! I feel your pain brother.
"Beautifullest"
I guess that's Lugansky word... o.o
You might have something there. He is an incredible sight reader. He took a composition of mine (my Rhapsody, available on my channel) and sight read it better than me. And it's no easy feat. I laughed like a baby when he did that.
Beautiful music. I sometimes think, though, that Rachmaninov should have made the 3rd concerto a sonata as far too much of the phenomenal piano writing is obscured but the orchestra. Not that I don't love the orchestral part! But when you hear the piano parts solo you realise just how much is being drowned out.
effortless
How was it? Did he do the Ossia cadenza or what?
Can someone explain to me the smaller and the other cadenza he ia saying. Please ive been searching why there are two variations on that part. Cause Yuja wang always choose the smaller cadenza, and kathia bunitishvili the larger cadenza.
2:31 A wild Pokémon appeared.
I disagree also about the Cadenza, I think its perfect for this work and as much as I believe overall Lugunsky does one of the best renditions of this piece and indeed Rachmaninoff period, Berman owns this Cadneza, do your self a favour and listen to it here on youtube :)
Cosi Cosiiiiii, si suona Rachmaninov.
It took me 2 minutes of recording to understand that "team" was actually "theme"...
@demosj wow! how do yuo know that?
@demosj
Where does this information come from?
When and where???
Cziffra?
:O
ummarò!!!
agree
@demosj it is not AS MUCH talent as it is the work which he has sacrificed in order to get these amazing technical abilities
@demosj That he learned this beast in three days seems impossible! -it's insane, superhuman... Are you sure?
So did it take him 2 years to learn 2 movements, or 3 days to learn whole thing? Based off all the comments I'm getting DE
What I said is what he told me when I met him face to face and had dinner with him.
That's a bit harsh don't you think? Nikolai Lugansky is a genius, but it is no small feat to learn the first two movements of one of the hardest Piano Concerti of all time regardless of how long it took. Regular people have the right to strive for excellence in an art to. Perhaps you can show us your skill in sight-reading?
The World is divided into two parts: Those who can play Rach 3 and those who "try" to play it. Regrettably, I am in the second category. I can play it, but not smoothly or properly: too much pedal and not articulated. I've heard it in my mind a thousand times, and ache to play it (properly). It just never happens. Maybe I'm gigantically lucky enough to be able to "read through it" and should consider myself happy at trying. OK, I know I need a shrink on this. I bet I'm not alone!
Normal ❤
4:47 .
that is all
Now I want an interview with Lang Lang about the same concerto.
what's the name of the song at0:45?
LOOOOOL
I need a passport! >.> someday....
I heard 3 days
Indeed, I agree, a total monster. However, I'm a bit intrigued. What would you consider to be showoffy?
He's brilliant but please work on your framing and editing please. It's very poor.
@punkypenguin321 Respectfully disagree. I know the Beethoven Concertoes. I can play Rach 2. There are technical aspects of Rach 3 that are truly different from anything else in the literature.
Despite this, there are some people genetically more gifted than others. I think you should face that reality. I have. Despite years of slow practice, some passages are simply above me.
I'm not necessarily complaining. I have my gifts too, just not enough for this work.
Not really, but I would be way cool if it was learned in 3 days!
3 years for 3rd movement? come on...^^thats too much dude
rofl,, this guy looks like my father. Except my father can not play a note.
@Eztoez What's wrong with Horowitz's Interpretation? His technical abilities far surpass any of those people, and so does his musicality. I would agree that the 1941 recording was very rushed, but his 1951 is the best version I have ever heard from anyone.
I hate it when performers don't play the Ossia Cadenza. That's like the whole point of the 1st movement
4 dislikers are better than Lugansky...
@Eztoez Rach would have admired Argerich and Volodos. Lugansky couldn't be Rach's page turner. Hamelin? you gotta be joing man, Hamelin playing Rach will be the biggest mess ever.
do you really believe this ? how old are you ? I ask because maybe you haven't met people that certain things just come easy to them when others have to try so much harder to accomplish the same level.
for example , I have two children in piano lessons one is more driven to perfection , and the other just naturally has an ear for music and picks it up much quicker and easier ...
nowadays you have to be russian or asian to be over talented :'DD
spelling =D
three years staying on a chair? in front of a keybord? just to learn 2 parts from a piano oncerto? i think u are not for this instrument my dear. he worked 12 hours per day and he made it , and didnt study anything else.
We’ll go ahead and try learning the concerto faster than him… It’s literally the hardest piano concerto/piece in the standard repertoire… especially the solo transcription by Peng Peng Kong most likely. Btw Listen to more Lugansky, he plays so much other stuff… just because he spent a lot of time on this extremely difficult piece doesn’t mean piano is not for him.
i sware. on the picture of this vid he was black. i'm disappointed beyond description.
is simple to russian play russian music? how come all russian music like rachmaninov and tchaikovsky piano work so horrible?
If it’s horrible, then you try compose something better… I’d like to see how you will do haha. Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky were chosen as vessels of God, to show us how real music sounds like. You are just unable to understand it since it’s to complex for you, or you are deaf.
REALLY confused
is he married? lol
Yes
six people are better than lugansky
Naturalmente uma delas é você. Parabéns !
And I guess yours is quite a dumb remark.....
