Many great pianists have played this candenza but Yefim's interpretation in this particular concert is.... godlike... incomparable with anything I've heard before from any other pianist. Rachmaninoff himself would have had tears of pride in his eyes that someone finally played his cadenza to absolute divine perfection.
@@trym88 im not sure about tempo and emphasis because they're both world class piainsts but I would say that Volodos has his own distinct style which Yunchan lacks because he's young
@@eugenelevin9809 Honestly, life experience REALLY influences how you play, what you enjoy playing and just about every aspect related to your way of making music. A musician is constantly shaped by their surroundings. Two people can practice something equally, yet one could play it better, simply because of their life experience and personal understanding of the music.
I have listened and listen and listen to dozens of performances, including Rachmaninoff's. And though Horowitz and Rachmaninoff's are closet to the composer, I must say Yefim's interpretation is astoundingly beautiful in its dark rich sound, something I have always admired about Yefim's fore-arm density. Truly a glorious interpretation!!!!!!!
I once listened to the recording played by Rachmaninoff himself and this sounds so like the composer. The touch and everything. Russian pianism at best.
Uzbek Jewish pianism at its best. So many of the great so-called Russian pianists were not ethnically Russian, nor were they born in Russia. Richter and Horowitz were born in Ukraine
Was the longer version of this video deleted from youtube??! There was a video that showed the rest of the first movement after the cadenza and a little bit of before where this clip begins..
I thought Lazae Berman had the best interpretation of this Cadenza until I heard Bronfman, he is beyond outstanding even Horowitz pales compared to this giant. Russians own the Piano
I'm talking about cadenza :) not the concerto.. cadenza must be originally composed by the pianist. cadenza must be INSPIRED by the concerto, quoting the parts not literally transcribing what orchestra and piano played before
Isn't that great? I always wonder how the great composers could take the minimum of musical material and then make out of it such great pieces like this concerto.

@@straizys But "ossia" cadenza is written by Rachmaninov himself. Moreover, the first cadenza that appeared was namely ossia, and only after that the "toccata" version was created. Speaking of literally transcribing, what can be more beautiful than the subtle tune of the first theme becoming the series of megapowerful metal-like chords, complete character transformation. Well, I don't insist on that, though. That's the matter of taste. Too bad that lots of pianists playing this cadenza, make it way too fast trying to show off, the result is just an atrocious hysterical bunch of sounds.
@@straizys I think the notion of a cadenza being left up to the pianist ended during Beethoven's day. Composers have been writing the cadenzas themselves since that time and for the pianist to compose his own in a serious staple like Rachmaninoff 3 might be viewed as overstepping or even pretentious.

apparently you never heard of Volodos, godfather of pianists
@@trym88 I just listened to it now.... outstanding performance! Thank you for your suggestion.
have u listened to yunchan lim's cadenza? i wont claim that it was the best but I'd say it was full of energy
@@JeffKwak221 Nah, not even close to volodos, tempo is off, emphasis is off. It's useless, you won't find anyone better than him.

1:01 that ladies’ smile tells everything
Rachmaninoff did get it right when he made the orchestra quiet for solo :)
Even as he has aged more, he still plays this concerto the best out of any pianist.
People who have experienced a lot of pain play it the best.
@@chiragraju821 Imma go ahead and say people who practiced more play it the best, chief

@@spicy7302 Would be true if practice was just mechanical repetition. Practice is much more than that when you practice as much as these pianists.
probably the best preformance of this concerto
nah lang lang did it better
nobody plays this piece better than Bronfman
Not nowadays. Have a listen to Martha Argerich! 😊
I’ve heard Bronfman live playing this in the last 18 months, and he IS superb - don’t get me wrong!
I agree. I hate the piece but Bronfman plays impeccably, with perfect taste --- so lacking in most performances
@@estocadatx8172 listen to yunchan lim
@@bigpancake420 his performance is very similar to that of Horowitz, he also plays the smaller cadenza, while bronfman plays the ossia cadenza
Probably the best performance of this cadenza ever. Would have loved to be in that stadium to hear it echoing throughout.
Bronfmans sheer power in this is unmatched

Una delle migliori esecuzioni di questa cadenza: potente, sicura, consequenziale; i grandi interpreti sanno fare queste cose.
La miglior interpretazione fino ad ora
such a good performance by bromfman, insane...
Зрители и оркестранты в экстазе от игры пианиста. Это невероятно!
This is perfection
Even the camera is shaking with such Performance.
Неужели люди больше никогда не смогут так слушать музыку???
Почему?
Agree
Просто покупаете билет на концерт и слушаете, так всегда было. А то, что на улице играют так, - это редкость
Speechless, simply in awe ...
Wow. What a great sound he has.
Truly titanic!
Impeccable! But wish you could get Bronfman right in the title
Could you help please, where can i watch the full version of this concert?? Free/not free doesn't matter. Thank you!!
The smiling faces tell you everything.. wow
Is it possible to recover the full video?
Amazing! Whereabouts was this performance? What a venue!
This was at Waldbuhne theater in Berlin
素敵すぎる！
Was the longer version of this video deleted from youtube??! There was a video that showed the rest of the first movement after the cadenza and a little bit of before where this clip begins..
There was a longer version, it was great !
Can we have it back?!
Possibly RUclips also delete this video
it has been deleted cuz of author copyrights (Filarmonica etc...)
@@dominic6055 but it was so good...
@@jean-michelthomas4176 yes I know, I am not happy too
where can I find the all of it?
bronfman rach 3
Where is it?
I wonder how I can acquire this DVD . I know the whole video was here, but it was removed.
I have it on BluRay. Bought online somewhere a few years ago.
1:30 you can’t tell me that’s not skylar white in the back right
my name is skylar white yo
What is your stage name?
واو😍😍😍
Is that a soccer stadium?
It's called football.
titanic. the piano needs to be serviced afterwards…🎉
Being big and fat he can deliver so much power into the keys. But he never bangs
1:05 pretty e girl in the crowd
still think the other version is better. I mean, this version is too enormous and this version is less harmonious
I thought Lazae Berman had the best interpretation of this Cadenza until I heard Bronfman, he is beyond outstanding even Horowitz pales compared to this giant. Russians own the Piano
Uzbek Jews and Ukranian Jews are the best, you meant to say. Horowitz was born in Kiev, Bronfman in Tashkent

Better than Djokovic!
What
well he didnt compose anything just replayed same phrases with basically identical arrangements

I think Lazar Berman's is better, but this is pretty damn good too
