Garrick Ohlson is one of the greatest living pianists. The true inheritor of Claudio Arraus technique. Look at the faces of Ohlson and Slatkin after the finish. They knew that it was one of the great performances of this heroic piece.
It's so funny how easy this guy makes it look to play these concertos. The octaves and scales and whatnot. hands don't even hardly look like their moving, just effortlessly. Amazing performance.
Quel immense interprète : il prend ce concerto au rythme d'un coeur battant et plus contemplatif que performatif...cette hyper-excitation qui anime les jeunes pianistes soucieux de rendre leur interprétation immortelle. Primoridalement, la poésie d'Ohlson, puis il s'anime d'une intensité croissante, appropriée, adroite, judicieuse.
Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 30 (1909) 00:54 I. Allegro ma non troppo 18:33 Il. Intermezzo: Adagio 29:47 Ill. Finale: Alla breve 44:49 *Applause* *Encore* Frédéric Chopin (1810-1849) 47:09 Waltz in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 64 No. 2 *(1847)* 51:09 *Applause* Garrick Ohlssohn, piano Detroit Symphony Orchestra Leonard Slatkin, conductor *Orchestra Hall* *Detroit, Michigan, USA 🇺🇸* *November 27, 2014*
Mr. Ohlsson chose the non-ossia cadenza that suits his lighter and more delicate touch, and the dramatic and undulating buildup to the thunderous descending chords is magnificent. A performance of this concerto with such finesse and a great communication between the soloist and the orchestra is quite rare. There really seems to be a great relationship between Mr. Ohlsson and Mr. Slatkin. On a different note, it's fascinating to watch Mr. Ohlsson's hands that I assume are close to the size of those of Mr. Rachmaninoff himself. When it comes to the quality of the hundreds (thousands?) of big chords in this concerto, hands really matter! The immaculate precision of the chords' rhythm! The improvisatory C sharp minor waltz by Chopin for the encore was such a revelation. Bravo!!
I didn't realize Ohlsson does anything other than the ossia cadenza-but this^ is proof. I think his ossia cadenza is one of the best out there. ruclips.net/video/gD98buvv9Ug/видео.html I agree that he's capable of tenderness-but I have actually always found Ohlsson to be an incredible powerhouse, which is why I think the ossia cadenza actually makes more sense for him.
What an incredible performance an epic night and a magical concert you only dream about ! The Pianist, The Orchestra and the extremely great Leonard Slatkin, what more can i say nothing better than this ever Period !!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know Ohlsson played this concerto. I thought it a very winning performance . . . . too often the most delightfully musical passages in this piece are WHIZZED past at breakneck speed and magical moments. (The end of the Finale, a case in point.) Bravo Maestro Ohlsson.
I heard this piece at least ten times brilliantly played by others and Ohlsson has the most remarkable touch on the keys of anyone I've heard or seen so far. What a joy to hear it played differently than others play it.
Why a pianist whose performance of the Ossia is definitive doesn’t play it every single time is beyond me. That said, Garrick Ohlsson extracts more music from this work than I’ve heard before. He’s one of those rare pianists whose mastery is such that it can credibly be said the piano does exactly what he wants it to. Stephen Hough is another.
A few years ago, we heard him play this in the Hollywood Bowl. It was my first time hearing this piece. A magical evening to be alive. Each time I hear it now, I remember that evening, the soft, warm breezes, and the twinkling stars above LA.
Detroit Symphony. Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin, conductor w/ Ohllson. Always include the conductor’s name at least in the description too (before we see it in the video). Makes a lot of difference which conductor you collaborate with. I. 0:56 - 18:30, II. 18:35 - 29:46, III. 29:47- 44:49
Wow, I'm hearing a lot of notes I've not heard before in this concerto. Ohlsson does like to slow down things to be able to bring out more detailed and dramatic nuances in the music.
44:03 oohh, Leonard Slatkin always does this hand movement... So pleasant! It's like he points to the very culmination of the piece. The same way he moved his hand in cooperation with Denis Matsuev in 2013. The same part of the piece chose another conductor to nod while Yunchan Lim was playing in 2022.
It’s a brilliant performance by both Ohlsson and the Detroit Symphony. Slightly hypnotic. It’s unfortunate the piano was not in tune. The DSO should look into a different tuner for piano soloists…
@@huh8338Horowitz with what orchestra? Good choices. How about Yefim Bronfam and Andrei Gavrilov both dramatic and phenomenal technically, delicate when needed.
He knows the piece inside out, makes many sensible decisions and loves Rachmaninoff, but there's a certain frenzy lacking in the climaxes that other pianists achieve. A underlying sedateness and intellectual control that sounds (I'm sorry to say) slightly pedestrian.
After watching this I had to go back to listen to Yunchan Lim's performance of this piece in the finals of the van Cliburn competition and was again blown away by what that young man does with this piece... as far away from pedestrian as you can get. I enjoyed Mr. Ohlsson's performance but as excellent as his playing is, it lacks passion. Yunchan delivers that without a doubt.
“Frenzy lacking” only in comparison to Yunchan Lim. In listening, there isn’t much difference at all. If you only watch, yes, there’s a difference. And this recording is taken at slightly slower tempo.
Ohlssons is a close comparison to yunchan, however ohlssons performance is so unique compared to others it’s really hard to compare in general, both are very good
@@huh8338 I think the 20 million people who watched the RUclips videos of his performance of this concerto might disagree with you. He has almost ten times more thumbs up than this video has views. He just won top prize for piano in the Gramophone Awards of 2024. He had two performances listed and won for his Chopin Etudes. I guess you're not ready for a new generation.

All the beautiful colorful piano sound players are gone dead like Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov!! We are lowering standards of Piano playing!!

Oh boy. For me, this was not a good rendition. I repeat, FOR ME. Martha Ageritch, far far too fast. This meastro just painfully too slow. In the first movement, look at the orchestra, they're nearly sleeping. Without a doubt this is a master of his art. I just dont like this interpretation. Rachmaninoff is full of surprises, melody then fast passeges full of excitement and power. Then romantic and almost 'singing' in parts. This lacked the variation of emotion that makes Rachmaninoff, Rachmaninoff. I was so unmoved by it I had to comment, and that's very very rare for me.

Just now getting into Garrick Ohlson interpretations. It's obvious that his mastery over technique leads to uniquely lyrical performances. Love it!

bro watch horowitz rach 3 hes 75 playing it
Garrick is in his seventies too
d1 glazer right here. at 75 ohlsson looks more young as a performer than horowitz. @@Emanuel-Turhani
His hands span a 12th thats probably why
If you were back in the 1800s most students studying seriously would probably have mastered the motor connection with such awareness!

Awesome that your first time listening to Rach 3 is from someone like Ohlsson
Fantastic performance! One of the best interpretations I've ever heard!
They make it look easy because these are professional musicians doing expert work!!!
WONDERFUL!! Magnific job sr Ohlsson!
THIS IS THE WAY A REL MASTER DOES IT!! MUSICALLY, TECHNICALLY - IN EVERY WAY ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES I'VE EVER SEEN AND HEARD!! BRAVO!!!
You,re absolutely right! The pianist and the orchestra and the great Leonard Slatkin are marvelous, well deserving of a standing ovation !!!!!
Effortless & exceptionally lyrical along with the requisite virtuosity 👌🏻🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
I am to watch Garrick Ohlsson play Chopin's piano concerto no 1 tomorrow. His performance here is simply astounding. bravo
Garrick Ohlsson is so gracious on stage. no stupid faces like most pianists do...

Needs to be recognized more since he is playing the standard for virtuoso level. 😊

Everything's in place but its utterly earthbound.
Not your cup of tea if you prefer histrionics and superficial virtuosity

Lots and lots of rehearsal goes into this type of music and it is NOT easy,!!! Hard work and plenty of time to make this happen!!!
