      My thoughts exactly! On every word. Other composers are amazing but they don’t speak to my soul like Rachmaninoff. I’m almost 71 years old and started taking piano lessons again since Jr. High school age, at USU. I have immersed myself with playing Rachmaninoff. His piano concerto No. 2 is the most sublime and beautiful music ever composed. I love it!

    OMG, I'm a senior now, been playing piano all my life, including professionally, but I cannot fathom how this masterpiece has been arranged for the solo piano. The pianist did a magnificent job of it beyond my wildest dreams!! Videos like these should be the ones to go viral, not some garbage contemporary music by some well-known artist of mediocre skills. I watched just about every note, and I'm left in amazement. I could only attempt to get this sheet music and begin to learn this incredible arrangement of my favorite piano concerto of all time. It would probably take me years, if I could even do this. BRAVO MAESTRO!!!!!!!!!!

      The sheet music is available for free in the description of the video for each individual moment (all three of which are linked in the description of this video). I've just downloaded them all. It's been added straight to the list of pieces I'm going to attempt to tackle. (Just finished liebestraum no. 3, which was wonderful fun, and have also now started un sospiro, which is proving to be similarly enjoyable - then it's Italian polka (maybe - it seems like a different level of hard), and after that, it'll be this!). I can't wait to get working on it.

      Your perspective on music, with its outdated and simplistic views, contributes to the limited popularity of classical music. Instead of appreciating the richness of classical compositions, you make condescending statements like, "Videos like these should be the ones to go viral, not some garbage contemporary music by some well-known artist of mediocre skills," which only serve to alienate people. It is possible to praise a pianist without demeaning others.
      Personally, I am currently learning Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto, but I also find enjoyment in listening to contemporary music. These two preferences can coexist harmoniously. I hope that, over time, you develop a more nuanced understanding and appreciation for music.

    After doing some decidedly average movie and games cover explain to me how you randomly managed to write a masterpiece of a solo piano transcription of this concerto, then recorded a very solid performance of it on your cheap digital piano, and to top it off, published a very decent scoring of it for free?? That's one of the most impressive things I've seen on youtube

    This is a criminally underviewed arrangement and performance! Very nice control and voicing throughout the whole thing, and the third movement was hard enough on its own, but with this arrangement is now on par with at least some of the most difficult repertoire there is…

    This is not only very well played, but an achievement of dizzying height. This is something I could dream of at best. I’ve played piano for years and have many very difficult pieces under my belt, but the size of this piece, the complex interpretation, I can only imagine how it feels to play. Like reading a whole book aloud. So many complexities I feel I might get lost in if I tried! BRAVO MAESTRO!! (Homage to a fellow pianists comment)

    Taking on Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 as a solo piano arrangement requires immense skill and understanding of the piece, and this performance absolutely delivers. The raw emotion and technical prowess showcased here beautifully encapsulate the essence of the original composition. It's both a tribute to Rachmaninoff's genius and a testament to the performer's outstanding talent. Truly captivating from start to finish!

    I could write you a long, long comment about how incredible this performance is, but I will refrain so that I can get my main point across as best as possible. Hearing you play the second movement made tears stream down my face. Usually when listening to music that touches me so deeply, my eyes can only water at most, but you have made tears run down my cheeks, so much so that half of the tears I've shed this year have been by you, just now in the span of the last 30 minutes. And this year hasn't been even close to being an easy year for me. You have my utmost respect for such an incredible performance of this amazing piece.
