    One of the best takes on Rachmaninoff's Second Sonata that I've ever heard. Unbelievable that this was taken at a competition. This playing easily stands alongside Lugansky, Hamelin, Horowitz, and Zoltan.

      I forgot to say something the right hand doesn’t sound hesitant like it’s supposed to, just empty. Lugansky’s interpretation way better

      @angelob.1089 what do you mean "unbelievable that this is taken in a competition"
      Competition is a place where many lifetime performances are easy to come by, because the artist is still young, guided by many professors who have a pre-existing vision of the work and understand the work like its author. In addition, competition is a place of fierce competition to win a career that only a few of the best pianists are honored to receive, so young pianists will focus everything they have on it... later in their pianist career, it is easy to get lost because of the loss of guidance from professors, their vision is now easily limited by the unusual and difficult to integrate lifestyle of being a pianist born and raised as a bookworm, hold the piano everytime.
      Also suggest some goat performance that come from competition:
      Rafal Blechacz Chopin scherzo no4 - goat
      Rafal Blechacz Chopin piano concerto no1 - goat
      Yunchan Lim Rach3 - goat
      Gyehee Kim Tchaikovsky Valse-Scherzo - goat
      and a lot more

      Of living pianists, I concur (he's tied with Martha Argerich). This gentleman reminds me of the late great Alexis Weissenberg - his playing is very conceptual, he disassembles and recomposes this sonata as though Scriabin wrote it. Brilliant, fiery performance!

    it was really very beautiful and he really drew out the melodic line from the rich texture, there some really beautiful moments around 14.30, of course it gets compaired to Horowitz, but that unfair as there is only one Horowitz, this was a very brave choice and for such a young man the pathos and trajedy was there in spades, brilliant

    This is a mature, fully-formed, sui generis interpretation. Brings out the Scriabin influence and belongs in the same company as Alexis Weissenberg and Zoltan Kocsis, though never stoops to imitate either.

      I remember when I was a teenager in the 1970s and Rachmaninoff's Third was still the best-kept secret in classical music. I mean, people listened to it, but the 2nd Concerto and the Paganini Rhapsody were still much more popular. Now, the 4th holds best-kept secret status.

    The performance is technically very solid, but not close to what Horowitz produced. The passage starting at 10:45 needs more passion. The sonata as a whole is about creating the sense of lack of emotional control while playing the music beautifully.
