Agreed

I agree. And the SPIN.

Blows away Kpop boy.

It didn’t you’re imagining things

Didn't see it.

If you like Rach. Concerto No. 2, you might want to check this out. This extraordinary Japanese pianist, Hayato Sumino AKA Cateen, will perform Chopin's Concert No. 1 as a soloist with Marin Alsop in 09/2022 when she tours Japan with Polish broadcasting Symphony Orchestra. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbFmg9iats-Xg4U.html

She conducted Yunchan Lim a few weeks back. Bet she loves both of them

what a joke what you are telling... I hear the opposite of what you are saying...

@@benediktschlegel8233 Imagine coming back regularly just to hate some more. Go listen to things you do like then. Pathetic.

@@FlyFriend42 the comments are a joke here. I am hearing the opposite from the comment. For example clarity and balance. I am hearing a bad balance between soloist and orchestra. There is no real clarity because of swallowed music notes.

@@benediktschlegel8233 u mom gay

@@benediktschlegel8233 What kind of hater are you ? The serious lack of relevance in your analyses shows us that you know nothing about music and you can't listen this piece ! Best regards

Not as much as he did.

Unusual and not very Rachmaninov sounding. Sounds more like an interpretation of a Liszt work much to fast and flash.

No faster than the composer himself in this work. But far more detailed. @@joeyblogsy

Simply close eyes...

then you aren't able to understand music expression

@@benediktschlegel8233 Have you looked into the profile of this guy? Looks like he is a professional pianist. And you? I guess you are a boring accountant that is frustrated with his job and is working his frustration off on people that like the the Rach 3 video's of Vondracek. I think that the guy is perfectly capable to understand musical expression, your experience and knowledge on the subject however is very debatable. Looks like my metaphor about the couch potato talking about sports was spot on. I am laughing my ass off here seeing you fail to convince actual knowledgeable people that your 'opinion' (or 'facts' as you call it) is correct.

@@koenbaens1428 don't deviate this discussion by talking about my professional situation. I am happy to be away from classical music, especially here in Flanders in Belgium where the music education is a big tragedy, comparing to the neighbour countries. I am not frustrated in my actual job. I love listening to classical music, especially to the right versions.

@@benediktschlegel8233 I did not deviate anything in this discussion, I just tricked you in telling me that you are not a professional musician. This actually means that I was right all along. You have little to no knowledge and experience in the field and that renders a lot of your statements invalid. Including the one about education, at least if you are talking below the conservatoire levels. Our 'Academies' are actually a lot better then the music schools in the Netherlands for example. Not sure what your goal is here but you probably have no idea that everyone with actual musical knowledge is laughing at you. Still waiting on those bars with the rhythmical errors btw, or are you not even capable to read a score?

@@koenbaens1428 the mistakes in the main theme and the pushing of the horn in the beginning are clear mistakes which destroy the continuation of that masterpiece. The treatment of the horn player in the beginning was inhuman. Further I can show you a lot of details where he lost sound and where he put wrong accents which destroy the musical production. It's difficult to put all the mistakes here because of the big length (at least two pages). He can play piano but I need to hear more. What a joke to hear from you that the Flemish Academies are better than music education elsewhere. Singing perfect intervals and rhythm in a metronome are just insane. Brass section is on a good level, but strings and piano are a big disaster. I have learned wrong things from wrong teachers. I am hearing a lot of symphonies and other master pieces, conducted by maestro Celibidache. That's just music in a right tempo. By hearing that, I can say that a lot of conductors haven't any idea about the philosophy of the composers and about the small details of one composition. The same for some soloists who think technique and right notes are more important than music.

this performance is very awful

@@benediktschlegel8233 so maybe you can show us how to play it properly, Mr.Proud Zero... If you could play, you would never write it.

@@martadrechsler4441 I don't need to show you anything because there are a lot of versions to be played correctly within the vision of Rachmaninov. This version of Vondracek is a real daytime soap opera which is completely revolting. Here I hear a lot of issues like unrhythmical playing, no relaxing, no story, no architecture, no clear harmony, no clear balance, no sound, no sculpture, no singing, etc. I only hear some short fast phrasings.

It’s much too fast and flash sounds like he’s interpreting a Liszt work rather than a Rachmaninov

He definitely did!

He is Czech, so I personally doubt it

I think he did. Wow. Lol
