Great! And I love the sound and timbre of the Bozendorfer! Full and rich!

Hard to imagine a better piano version of this - just beautiful.

beautiful theme..beautiful interpretation..thanks Katalin..a special mention for the sound engineer..he has planted the microphones in an excellent way..your piano sounds great..thanks once again.

bright and fresh piano solo, with feeling.

The capture of the sound of the bosendorfer is just perfect and very beautiful, and nice transcirption/intepretation well done !!

This is the most beautiful interpretation within youtube. I saw all the others and this one is the most well executed in all its extension ..... Greetings from Brazil....🎹💖🎹💖🎹💖

Wow, Katalin... superbly performed! And I have always felt that it sounds most beautiful as an unaccompanied solo. Thank you. 💖

Katalin - you were sent from Heaven to entrance us with your playing.....

Wonderful transcription, which conveys the sense if not the full weight of the orchestra in the second half, never mind a most excellent performance. Thank you, Katalin!

Magnificent and beautiful composition! I love listening to it! Wonderful interpretation! Thanks and cheers!

Splendid! Beautifully executed with soulful feeling. Bravisimo!

Thanks so much, Katalin for sharing the transcription. Your playing it is a treasure....

This performance brings tears to my eyes.

Magnifique. Splendid. One of the best versions I have had to privilege to listen.

Im in tears now

After listening to this multiple times I figured out the theory involved in this transcription and I have written a similar version of what you're playing thank you for the inspiration best wishes

¡Excelente, bravo Señora !!

Perfect emphasis - something to aim for, thank you.

Beautiful performance!

oh my, be still my foolish heart

Wonderful Musician! Thank you so much

I love her style of performance.

You are a great performer as well as a great arranger. Good on you.

Great interpretation - well played!

This is the one that made me an instant fan and subscriber. It's been several months since we've heard a solo performance. I enjoy all of your performances, but the piano solos are my favorites. Thanks again for sharing.

Gyönyörű! Letöltöttem a pontszámot. Köszönöm!

Always my favorite,you brought it to life so eloquently sublime.

Beautiful, nice, touch my soul, thanks for sharing.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you so much for your performance~It is so lovely~

love it...

A magnificent performance of this magnificent piece. And the Bosendorf piano. What a tremendous sound.

Thank you Katalin!

Amazing!!!

In SOUTH Africa this used to be the music of an old radio serial.

Maestra!!! This performance is a jewel. Tenderness, pathos, grandeur... it is all here, in the space of just over three minutes, and wrought with the most exquisite balance.

so beautiful

Perfect.

I was once touched immediately when listening to this beautiful piece. It is hard to play this work by the great Russian composer.

Bellisima interpretacion. GRACIAS. ❤

A magnificent rendition, played on a superb instrument-a Bosendorfer! Merci Katalin.

Gorgeous sounds from a gorgeous instrument!

Magnífico!

Goosebumps galore hearing this wonderful piece

beautiful!

Nice melody☺️

brilliant

Me encanta ! Una de las versiones más hermosas que escuché...😍😢

It is beautiful to listen to her playing the music many times a day. It is an inspiration for me. I wish I could play as well.

Too Gorgeous to be True!

WUNDERBAR!! BRAVO!! 👏👏👏🙏⭐️⭐️🌟⭐️⭐️💥

Beautiful. Nice to hear unaccompanied. Are you familiar with Joni Mitchell? She cited this as the first piece of music that moved her, as a little girl.

Thank you. I am learning to play the piece and I had to hear the exact same transcriptions of the theme. It was excellent. I wish I will able the play like her. Kudos!

Katalin, monumental. Simplesmente assim.

Beautiful katalin !! Kisses...

Bravo great interpretation greatings from México 👏👏👏👏👍😘

Rivedo tante volte questa Tua magistrale, incantevole esecuzione del piccolo capolavoro di Rachmaninoff. E' un brano che ho imparato a suonare di recente e la Tua interpretazione rappresenta per me una preziosissima guida per riuscirvi sempre meglio. Tanti, tantissimi complimenti e saluti da Salerno (Italia, vicino l'incantevole Costiera Amalfitana).

It's beautiful ❤️

Lovely on all levels

LOVELY!!!!

Bravo!

Maravilhosa interpretação desta pianista.

Beautiful

Una de las mejores versiones que escuché !!

Bosendorfer for ever! Brava. E bella!

Dear Master Zsubrits, where can I find your own transcription sheet music? I enjoy yours the most.

Einfach wundervoll!

Voici la plus belle interprétation de la variation 18 de Rachmaninov réalisée avec une précision incroyable et beaucoup d'émotion très largement perceptible, au point que l'œuvre ne semble durer qu'un instant. Katalin, vous êtes, pour moi, une pianiste à part, et concernant ce chef-d'œuvre de Rachmaninov, l'interprétation la plus proche de Rachmaninov lui-même. Extraordinaire! MaximusLeo Here is the most beautiful interpretation of Rachmaninoff's variation 18 performed with incredible precision and a lot of emotion very widely perceptible, to the point that the work only seems to last for a moment. Katalin, you are, for me, a pianist apart, and concerning this Rachmaninoff masterpiece, the closest interpretation to Rachmaninoff himself. Extraordinary! MaximusLeo

When I was in Music Theory in university Dr. Oxley played this for us with the instruction that we were to visually follow the notation. I just closed my eyes and listened. It was WAY beyond me at the time. Sill one of my favorite pieces of The Classical (i'm rather a primitivist). Beautiful execution. For me to attempt would TRULY be an execution....either BY me of the piece...or OF me by those tortured to hear my pathetic attempt. BRAVO!

Those perfect rubato’s... OMG, I’m gonna cry

Wow!❤

the best version

Snap re Bosendorfer comment. Discerning studio. I love music or transcription devised 'in your head' and I must savour the sound and touch. .

Amazing piece !

Que lindo!

Beautiful 🎹 Piano Sound! Bosendorf is Wonderful!

Очень красивая версия этого классического произведения для фортепиано соло. Вы играете с грацией и силой, что замечательно.

Sergei Rachmaninoff, quando criou esta magnífica obra, devia estar fora da extratosfera. 18ª Variação Tema Para Paganini. Katalin, que já nasceu sabendo, dá seu testemunho... Ofereço às mulheres da minha vida. De bisavós à amiga do Oriente Svet.

Very clean.

stunned

A Bosendorfer. Great choice for the ivories. Very good interpretation. Valentia Lisitsa has more body but you have very good skills. My favorite is Olga Kerns 18th Variation played in 2021 with thr Dallas Symphony Orchestra. It's on KZfaq. She plays it excruciatingly slow so every heart breaking note comes through, lingering in its sweet pain.

Thanks for sharing this video. This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I am so jealous of the Bosendorf piano. It's my dream to play one of them. Do you know where I can get the music sheet for this arrangement? I would love to try it. Thanks!

SUUUUUPER !!!

Does anyone know where I can buy this version in Piano Sheet Music? It's wonderful.

Хорошо！

Beautiful! Where can I find score for this? Thank you.

Hello! That’s an awesome performance! May I get or buy a transcription from you? ☺️

Wow

erre egyszerűen nincsenek szavak olyan gyönyörű

Where can I find the audio of an orchestra accompaniment of this variation please?

❤❤❤❤

Those human beings!

Was the beginning of the video a reference to Somewhere in Time??

Fantástica la transcripción de la VARIACIÓN VIII ?SERÍA POSIBLE LA ADQUISICIÓN DE LA PARTITURA?

Sheet music please !!!

🤗🌹

This is one of the most beautiful videos on KZfaq. Such a beautiful song. Do you happen to have the sheet music with fingering?

oh My, be still my foolish heart

Dear Ms Zsubrits; please could you provide a link to your most excellent transcription of this beautiful piece of music. I'm learning Michael Loveridge's extremely pleasing version but yours sounds just a little fuller and more expressive. I am more than happy to contribute an appropriate payment for your hard work. Many thanks.

Hi Katalin, is there an mp3, or CD of this piece available? Lovely!
