Wow. How she can control her music so beautifully while so obviously moved by it. Stunning. Inspiring (I played a Bach allemande after listening to this, of all things, and it came to life with the emotion from listening to this). If you find this overwhelmingly sad, try listening the next but one for recovery! Op.23 #6 is a very happy springtime piece, also enormously gratifying to listen to (and to and play)!
Quality, quality and quality, Irina , you are reached space level... After your playing you understand everything is possible on this planet. Thank you beautiful lady, with love from New Jersey, USA.
Absolutely superb! She has a real feeling for Rachmaninoff's music. I am currently dealing with the death of a longtime friend (more than 70 years!), and this piece feels appropriate for me at this time.
I have never heard a more beautiful and emotional interpretation of this great Rachmaninoff prelude. When Irina plays the last high answering note as the piece is ending, her face shows all the feeling she has sustained throughout this stunning performance.
2:49 There's just something about this growing crescendo that blows me away every single time I listen to this piece. I envy Rachmaninov's understanding to create such a powerful and overwhelming moment and then pull in the reigns to create subtle and quiet beauty seemlessly. Fantastic performance as well!
@@IrinaLankovaOfficialChannel thank you Irina.. beautiful ! Rachmaninoff is a genius and we love him !!! Great Russia and great Russia artists !! Wishes from Italy , Varenna Como lake ..
A friend showed me this a while back and I've listened so many times. Unbelievably strong expression, don't know how you do it! I feel so captivated around 3:40. The emotion on your face and the delicacy of your playing, of course combined with the beauty of the music, is like a great weight on the heart. Exquisite!!
I can listen to Irina's performance a thousand times and get goosebumps, leading me to tears! Thank you so much. I love this prelude and your interpretation!
@@IrinaLankovaOfficialChannel true artists really feel, not fake it! As a composer of contemporary classical music myself, I know how important is that! Thank you again!
Controversial and complex feelings that grow timidly, then they hide, then they grow, then they stop uncertain, then they grow.....and they grow strongly to come to light and shine but even if they don not fully reveal. I never played Rachmaninov but this prelude is just wonderfull and this intense and deep interpretation of great Irina Teacher, inspired me: I'm learning it with feeling and patience. We can not fully understand your feelings while you play the piano but I want to tell you that your performances make me dream while the heart and soul live moments of pure beauty. Thank you very much, Teacher.
This wonderfully inspired and at the same time perfectly controlled performance communicates the transcendental beauty of Rachmaninov's work with great eloquence, as it rises on waves of ever mounting passion and ecstasy, finally subsiding to a tranquil conclusion. Undoubtedly one of the finest interpretations of this exquisite Prelude.
This is the best interpretation of this work by Rachmaninoff I have ever encountered. Every single note is played with absolute passion and my heart melts straight away listening to this from start to end.
There was a very slight smudging of one key. And, like a small blemish on the face of a supermodel, it doesn't detract from the beauty even a little bit.
As good as my favourite Svjatoslav Richter performer for this, my favourite Rachm. Prelude. In the past I played it daily & also everywhere I could. I saw the RU landscapes left for US but you never forget those landscapes feelings & All My Love I Left Behind. ... & your performance has all that Beauty & Love, Melody & Memory in it...Thank You Irina Lankova ....
I love this interpretation, you play with such deep colour and I love how the music always moves and pushes and pulls. I'm about to start this piece and this is how I aspire to play. Thank you!
Very well done Irirna!.. After listening to your interpretation, I revisited the versions by Lazar Berman, Sofronitzky and N. Lugansky, some of the Russian pianists I admire. You do know what you are doing and it's of a very high quality. I believe good old Sergey would be pleased with your performance. Thanks for the upload! Shared on Google+
There are not enough words to be able to describe my feelings. Irina, looking at you, watching the expression of you face like praying, and the motion of you fingers like a swan on the lake, I believe even Rachmaninov would've cried. God bless.
What a delivery! I hear notes I never noticed before. I love to hear an interpretation like this, where the musician is not just playing the piece but conveying how she feels about it. Thank you!
Ce prélude me "berce" depuis plus de 30 ans ... Pour moi c'est un des plus beaux de Rachmaninoff et votre interprétation ne peut que confirmer mon choix
Bravo Irina. You and Lugansky break my heart and make me cry with these interpretations. This is the ultimate love piece. I may walk down the aisle to this if I ever get married.
un jour , un "extra terrestre passant par la , a dit des humains, vous les humains vou etes capables du meilleur , comme du pire!!! rachmaninov c est le meilleur! merci irina lankova de transmettre 🙏
Que extraordinário a informatização, daqui do Brasil eu consigo sentir tamanha emoção... demasiada profundidade que me faz acreditar que estou nesta sala. É surreal.
I've listened to many interpretations of this beautiful piece, and for me, this is the most moving, touching and transcendent version I've ever heard. Thankyou Irina you have the gift of being able to communicate the most delicate and subtle emotions when you play.

The best interpretation I've ever heard, made me cry... All the best!
Have you ever heard Richter in this piece?. I love the way Irina builds the central climax, she has much poetry in her soul.
Mee too
In alcuni brani Rachnaninoff ti spezza il cuore;
come un dardo che tipenetra nel profondo...
Quality, quality and quality, Irina , you are reached space level... After your playing you understand everything is possible on this planet. Thank you beautiful lady, with love from New Jersey, USA.

You put it so well in words, it's one of Rachmaninov's main characteristics I think
@@IrinaLankovaOfficialChannel well said!
@@IrinaLankovaOfficialChannel thank you Irina.. beautiful ! Rachmaninoff is a genius and we love him !!! Great Russia and great Russia artists !! Wishes from Italy , Varenna Como lake ..
And from 2:07 to 2:14 it’s same feeling for me, but here it’s not growing crescendo, on the contrary.. going down so perfectly and quietly.
I've never heard this piece played so beautifully, with waves of emotion flowing throughout.
Thank you, Irina!
thank you Roger!

Her interpretation is sublime...Just fantastic...
Exquisite interpretation, with ultra sensitivity, passion and elegance!!!!
She understands perfectly what to say here.
I can listen to Irina's performance a thousand times and get goosebumps, leading me to tears! Thank you so much. I love this prelude and your interpretation!
Thank you Antonio, I must confess I was almost crying myself at the end of this performance.. It was a very emotional moment 🙏🏼

I loved to read your view of this sublime peace. Thanks for your sharing and for your description
Bravo! You brought out the true beauty of this music.
The touch of Irina is always so fine, so elegant, so romantic... I love this video! Thank you Irina! I hope listen you live!!

"Music comes from the heart and talks only to the heart" S.Rachmaninoff
@@IrinaLankovaOfficialChannel true
On what planet does this get a "thumbs down"? I don't understand. This is WONDERFUL.
Some minor mistake at around 4:00. I would certainly not give a thumbs-down for that.
+alexfattoruso I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard that thumbs down-s are added randomly by youtube!
There was a very slight smudging of one key. And, like a small blemish on the face of a supermodel, it doesn't detract from the beauty even a little bit.
A brilliant pianist. Irina lots of love from the people of India
This is my favorite prelude by rachmaninov thankyou for playing it so well

You moved me Irina ... an interpretation with full of emotion.
J'adore cette pièce de Rahmaninov. Magnifiquement joué, merci beaucoup 🍀
Absolutely nothing wrong with this wonderful performance. Gorgeous, romantic piece played just right. Thanks for posting.
Beautiful. I love how you expressed the different melodies that Rach was so good at.
Thanks for listening !
This is really fantastic. A difficult prelude, played with such sensitivity.
Magnifique, de plus vous y mettez tellement de sensibilité dans vos gestes et vos expressions du visage, c’est très troublant, bravo et bon merci 😍
3:42 , Yeah, that's right, that's the tone colour, that's what Rachmanioff wants.
That gave me goosebumps..wow
Two marvelous talents; Rachmaninoff and Lankova.
Wonderful. So emotional. It makes me in tears. Not as famous as the other preludes, but this is my favorite. Thank you.
There are not enough words to be able to describe my feelings. Irina, looking at you, watching the expression of you face like praying, and the motion of you fingers like a swan on the lake, I believe even Rachmaninov would've cried. God bless.
thank you sooo much 🙏
