I love the quotes at the beginning of the blog post and I remember in one of my books about Chopin a description of George Sand. It said she dressed in mens clothes and smoked. Which is truly weird knowing that Chopin actually fell in love with her anyways, and it is said that he composed some of his most famous pieces while he was in love with her. That ones funny about how Steve Lacy answered in exactly 15 seconds and thats the best answer I’ve ever heard in a short amount of time like that. Its truly amazing. And when George Sand left Chopin he died shortly after that so I guess he really loved this weird woman who wanted to be a man…

Thank you, Piano Street, for letting us experience a truly amazing performance of Rach 3. Leif must be at the pinnacle of his career to so flawlessly render this complex piano concerto.

Rach 3 must be the most relentlessly demanding piano compositions for pianists.

Out of curiosity, would anyone at Piano Street have a count of the total number of piano notes played? (Would make an excellent trivia question.)

Once again, thank you.

The performance was simply stunning. This is how Rachmaninov should sound like. Andsnes is a great pianist. Many thanks for sharing this video.

Thankyou so much for making my Sunday afternoon perfect,
I am sorry Jeroen did not enjoy this wonderful performance, perhaps if he, like me Spent 12 TWELVE years deprived of music completely,he may learn to appreciate the priviledge of listening to a brilliant pianist like Maestro Andsnes!.
My first years in OK Were spent with no way of hearing classical music ( I came from a musical family, )my Father was A Concert Master, and a conductor of his own 50 musician Chamber Orchestra.!
Thankyou again Piano Street for sharing.
Sincerely
Margaret Lucas ( luvinblume)
