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)

This is great!!!! I watched this over and over again and i will never get tired of it!!! He played with a lot of movement…I love it…You need to have more videos lie this…But i agree with raffaele… the orchestras sound is not like the piano’s at all…but nice job on your part. I hope to see more in the Future.!!!! :D

Well, I have not enjoyed this performance. It was so fragmented so I missed the musical and physical connection between all the new “moments” in the entire work. Andsnes performance here was regressive in temper. The conductor was no spiritual link between pianist and orchestra. My listeners’ adrenaline is not consumed. So I am not thrilled by this story of Rach 3.

Thank you for sharing,
Jeroen.
