- Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943)

Nikolai Lugansky, Boris Berezovsky
2008 Verbier Festival

[0:00] A (Non allegro)

[6:55] A’ (A tempo più mosso - Tempo I)
[9:30] Coda (cantabile)

[29:25] Finale - “Christ is Risen” Theme
[29:56] “Alliluya”
“…On the one hand, the Dances contain a number of self-quotations: most notably, just before the coda of the first section, Rachmaninov hauntingly quotes the main theme of the first movement of his Symphony No 1, at the time (1940) completely unknown to anyone apart from its composer. In the finale he quotes extensively from part of his ‘Vespers’, the All-Night Vigil of 1915, Op 37, arguably his greatest work.
But on the other hand, this last work of Rachmaninov’s reveals a new and vibrant voice in his music, expressed in so truly symphonic manner as almost to deserve the title of ‘Symphony No 4’. The ‘Dies irae’, present in almost all of Rachmaninov’s orchestral works as well as in many solo piano pieces, is fleetingly quoted, but in the coda of the finale, marked ‘Alleluia’, it is swirled into silence by the virile and invigorating resolution: D minor, the ultimate tonality for this composer, triumphs over all on the hectic, tumultuous and life-asserting final pages. The music also contains elements of jazz, and the composition swaggers, supreme in its own self-confidence and burning with a fierce inner light. This is manifestly not music by a composer who had written himself out, but an indestructible and inspiriting musical statement of profound and irreducible power.
Although both versions possess the same opus number, Rachmaninov originally intended the work to be an orchestral piece; but it is also true that the original two-piano version is so complete in itself, so manifestly conceived in two-piano terms, that in the duo version the work is utterly convincing and becomes arguably the greatest work for the medium written in the twentieth century.”

My two absolute favourite pianists. I've seen both perform, separately alas, a few times and every time is an absolute pleasure. To see them both perform at the same time would be my idea of pure joy.
生演奏で聴いたよ ホントに素晴らしい。youtube だと きっとそれは伝わらない。
最高の贅沢という感じです。
I saw Lugansky 3 years ago in a performance of Rachmaninoff’s 3rd concerto. Being late to the concert I hurriedly rushed and bought a ticket on the left, the standard side for viewing a pianist’s hands. Afterwards, I wished I had had a ticket for the right side where I could have seen the mental and emotional reactions to the music on his face. His hands and technique I had already seen a thousand times on RUclips. He’’s a pretty undemonstrative player, so it would have been an interesting exercise watching his face for an uninterrupted 40 minutes or so. But this is a video, and a better balance of visual and musical elements would have been certainly appreciated. Fernando Maria Cavaller is absolutely right in his complaint.
Anyhow, my jaw dropped on seeing who the performers were on this new posting. And for me that trumps any fault in the production. Many, many thanks!
Quel plaisir de voir nos deux virtuoses russes jouer ensemble !
boris berezovsky and nikolai lugansky should do a cd on this and both should do more cd perioded
This piece works so well for piano duo
Can you imagine Rachmaninoff and young Horowitz playing these in LA, when the ink was barely dry, the day before R died?
It's hard to imagine. Is there really no record left?
Wait THAT HAPPENED?????? AND IF SO NO ONE RECORDED IT???
No, because that didnt happened? Rachmaninoff composed this piece 3 years before his death so the ink was definitely dried. Besides Rachmaninoff lost consciousness on 26 March and he died 2 days later. Please don't make up stories

Omg. This is awesome. Thank you!
ACH DU LIEBER, MEIN SCHATZ”!!! Fantastic music, fantastic performance!!! Maybe the most “ANIMATED” I’ve ever seen either of these two fabulous pianists!! Each one of these two men would rate a “ 7”2” “on the Richter scale!!! One of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen “of anything”! At 82, this video was a GREAT GREAT TREAT OF MY LIFETIME!!!!! “Gesundheit”!

Так случилось, что Симфонические танцы в этой версии я услышал раньше, чем в оркестровой. И должен сказать, что этот дуэт пронял меня гораздо глубже, чем целый оркестр!
Two of the greatest interpreter of Rachmaninoff alive what a treat
You forget Ashkenazey !
@@pianistegolfeurhe said “two of the greatest”, do there’s space for Ashkenazy and many others.
2 supreme masters. I've been watching this in years but still in awe.
Это прекрасно!
I like how they walk away after the performance - Boris friendly slapping Nikolay on the back 😁
I love the detail of such a performance that sometimes becomes apparent, such as Lugansky's action at 19:35 ...
9:33 to 9:59 is Rachmaninov's Symphony # 1 Opus 13 first movement main theme in a major key...simply beautiful...
True
😭😭😭❤
Wow !!! Such masterful artistry !!! and so unpreposing in their personal demeanor...wish I could have been in the audience!!!❤
You've got the best posts. Thank you
Thank you :-)
This is so true!
Dear Enchanted Wanderer, Your videos are of exceptional quality and value! Thank you, beautiful soul!
❤
АХ! Какие пианисты ! Какие музыканты ! Я услышала настоящего Рахманинова 👍👍👍!!! Выдающиеся исполнители нашего времени 👏👏👏🌸🌺❤️
Самые лучшие!💐💐💐❤

I love the performance and the camera work. The audio quality is superb!
This piece is so nostalgic and beautiful
C'est plus qu'une parfaite synchronisation, c'est de la complicité, de la compréhension entre ces deux merveilleux pianistes.
Mais la synchronisation n'est pas parfaite; c'est la comprehension qu'est bonne
Le rêve, B. Berezovsky et N. Lugansky ensemble. Dream, B and L together. Too too much. Merveilleux.
Magmatic! Beautiful encounter between Berezovsky's telluric playing, and Lugansky's dancing flames..
贅沢なサウンド！
この演奏が一番すき！！
ラフマニノフもロシアだし、演奏者もロシアの方。
発音や国のエッセンスを理解したネイティブの演奏なんだろうと思ってる。
本当に素晴らしい演奏で大好きです。
Falling in love again with the beauty and genius that is Russia
Interesting to think that Rachmaninoff would not have had to leave today's Russia... Great music is great music, wherever it is composed.
MASTERPIECE
И оркестр не нужен, когда на сцене Николай и Борис) потрясающее исполнение "Симфонических танцев" ❤️
Elena VRN простите, я исправлюсь 🙏😊
This is one of my favourite Rachmaninov pieces: great playing too...there's something very 'adult' as in sophisticated and grown-up, about this music. It's both subtle and visceral at the same time, lyrical and elemental together. I must buy a second piano to try to learn it.
I studied with Jack Guerry, himself a student of Silvio Sciònti...wanted to show him how far I had gotten with ĹvB's Op. 106 on my own...I'm just a talented amàteur...with semi-doublejointed digits !!!
I wish I could do the same...I am mesmerized by this amazing work. I have two grands and dream of working on this beautiful piece.
This performance brings me so much joy! I listen to it over and over again, appreciating the nuances and the wonderful mastery of Rachmaninoff's difficult challenges. It is a piece of heaven.
One of the most transcendental pieces I've ever heard, and so masterfully shared. Thank you for sharing it. This work brings me to tears every time I hear it. I am nearly at the end of life and must attend to finalities...this amazing work gives me hope and joy while making final arrangements for the end of my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you 😍
29:20 that some badass russian shit
This is really wonderful cant stop listening soothes my soul
Incredible playing
Христос Воскресе!💐💐💐
Never thought those two giants ever would collaborate like this. Berezosky offers the more masculine touch and Lugansky the more hesitant and delicate touch. Interesting.....
just say feminine bro...
How can you tell? They both have masculine and feminine qualities in their playing, if you want to call it that. Lyrical, poetic, strong,dynamic
Lugansky is the greatest interpreter of Rachmaninoff
Lugansky and Volodos
What is the greatest? How is that meassurable?
@@belialah It can't be measured. Purely a matter of opinion.
@@EetuRautio Exactly...However it seems that words are said with no respect for language nor for art, speciallly in the piano world. Why just don't change that for "my favorite pianist".
Heaven indeed - calls forth the ballerina within
замечательно!
Это прекрасно!❤
the girls turning the pages are quite good😉
2 geniuses
Magnifique
@@dorotheabuch7256 magnificent
Agreed
Восхитительно!
Subperbe! Je les aime beaucoup!
Божественно!!!
Really Lugansky is passionate interpreter of Rachmaninoff
Великие !!!!!!!
Two elite warriors who know Rachmaninov's battlefield very well.
Warriors?) Rachmaninoff is battlefield for those who dont have brain, for geniuses like these two guys its a great plesure
Великие..иду на Луганского 15.02.21
swimming through intoxicating Debussyian/Wagnerian sonorities (in the last movement) ....
Читка с листа уровень бог!😅
The performance is magnific. Both of them. But I don't know which is the problem with the film makers in concerts. They don't show properly the hands but looking at faces, etc. and they know nothing about the partiture and music in general. The result is as the present film a permanent distraction.
ルデンコとルガンスキーのが見たかったな。
Terrific! However, I still think Martha Argerich's and Rhabinovichs recording from 1992 (Teldec) is even superior to this in terms of overall tension, dynamics, and poignancy. Of course, it is a question of taste and this is about utmost subtleties...
2 TITANS
OK Kissin - I knew you were going to press that 1 down vote !!
Excuseme..."unprepossesing"
