Another great one.

You bring out really cool inner voices in the middle section. The gradual build starting at 2:40 is brilliant.

This is hands down one of the best performances I've heard of this piece.

I guess you like Rachmaninov.

[da jake]

No more replies?? That is a bit of a travesty.

Dear jayanat,

WOW!!! 

LOVED it.  You really captured Rachmaninoff's power and Romanticism.  I enjoyed your nice way of bringing out the inner voices, also. 

Record some more!

I'm so annoyed.  Everytime I click on the link, my computer goes haywire, and I have to restart it.  I REALLY want to hear the recording.

[pianiststrongbad]

Wow I wish I could play that many right notes in front of an audience.  Really great job for a live recording.  I prefer the outer sections to go a bit faster and with less pedal.  I think it has a whole different character in the faster thempo with less pedal, just my opinion.  I agree about the middle section- you did a great job bringing out the inner voices.  I think the transion from the slow back to the fast started too slow.  The tempo changed a bit too much for my taste on the last page.  But I definately think you did a great job for this being live.  I love the last chord that isn't printed, I have only heard that in the Rachmaninov recording of it.

[piano121]

Amazing performance indeed. I enjoyd a lot your recording!

[mwhite]

Wonderful!  I love this piece.

[bearzinthehood]

Good ear!  That was true artistry, bravo!

[orlandopiano]

Well thought out, well shaped. Excellent phrasing. Crisp articulation and rhythm. Brilliant live performance!

Your audience started their applause the exact moment you played your last note. They must have been pianists or people familiar with this piece.

[donjuan]

great control of sound and rhythm.  I love how you put everything towards the music and none to yourself.  in other words, very anti-Lang Lang and very, very good.

[lagin]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  Can't someone PLEASE put another link up? I really want to hear it!

[wzkit]

Really really excellent stuff. Wonderful control of sound and phrasing. Brilliant! Can't wait to hear more of your stuff.

[jayanat]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  Can't someone PLEASE put another link up? I really want to hear it!

Here you go

Nice job under pressure, jayanat.

Actually, the last octave he played isn't in the music - it ends on the upbeat.  Maybe you decided to add it for some reason, jayanat?

[letters]

wow u have amazing control and you keep it steady... im trying in vain to play this piece but its so hard!! lovely middle section too.

[lagin]

Wow............. I am so excited to learn this if I pass this dog-on grade 10 exam next month.  That was so inspiring!  Wow.  Thank you for posting that on a separate link for me!  How long did it take you to learn that from the first time you saw the music till then?

[jayanat]

Nice job under pressure, jayanat.

I just wanted to add the last note, just for fun. Rachmaninoff plays the last note that I played on his recording too.
Well, thanks everyone.

[bearzinthehood]

I just listened to this again with the score.  There were so many "oh *** he did not just do that" moments.  Your attention to detail is superb. 

[emmdoubleew]

 

WOW

Amazing recording! So much energy, so much detail, you have amazing tone!

[arbisley]

It's wonderful! I like you're use of pedal, good compromise between precision and tonal effect. I don't have anything to add apart from that, great live performance!

[henrah]

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!


I would have said if I were there! AAAAAA-mazing rendition, and I love the bringing out of the original theme in the romantic/middle section!

Do you play any other Rachy? Please post it, I'm dying to hear more of your interpretations, they are simply outstanding!!!


EDIT: Just remembered about your Rach 2nd, can't wait till the orchestral version comes out! Please post it as sooooon as you get it!

[cjp_piano]

I enjoyed this very much.  What else did you play at this recital?  Just curious.

[pies]

Can someone upload the video?

[instromp]

Can someone upload the video?

I second that!

[jayanat]

you can download from reply#15

[pies]

That's the mp3. We want the video.

[jayanat]

That's the mp3. We want the video.

I will upload it later. I am on vacation now.

[kelly_kelly]

Wow! You're making me jealous 

[instromp]

*Whistles loudly* That was simply amazing and Brilliant!!

The coughers got on my nerves , wherever theres a recital being held, they will come ,lol.

[henrah]

The coughers got on my nerves , wherever theres a recital being held, they will come ,lol.

What's annoying is that a cough only comes on during a recital! I once coughed my guts out from swallowing some saliva that was floating in my mouth - I felt really bad for the pianist!

I guess its inevitable to not have a cougher or a cough at a recital...its like its fate or something,lol.

[donjuan]

no; if they were paying attention more closely, everything would stop and they wouldnt cough or sneeze so much

[instromp]

A person could probably hold a sneeze but not a cough.I dont think paying attention more closely has nothing to do with not coughing at all.Some ppl cant hold it in as for many elderly ppl that cant contain it.It is a matter of involuntary functions than voluntary.A cough can be both at times.

YAYE!!!!! lol. gonna watch now, been waiting.

Edit: Great vid, too bad who ever had the cam could get your hands , but still great performance

[jayanat]

Thank you sir. 

You can't see my hands from the video because I have troubles with the spotlights so I had to move the piano so the spotlights couldn't effect me. The audiences couldn't see my hand either.

[pies]

Great vid. Even with the mediocre video quality I can tell that you look rather nonchalant when playing, as if the prelude requires little effort from you. Quite a contrast to Gilels playing it, with his hair flying all over the place (

20gilels ).
 

[henrah]

You look extremely relaxed, to such an extent that it almost looks like you're not playing the notes I'm hearing!

Definately the freshest - and bestest-est-est - interpretation I have heard! Again, I say: BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!!

[princessdecadence]

This piece is way too popular.

[crazy for ivan moravec]

that was really great! you're a wonderful risk-taker! and in this performance, it was worth all of it! there were some moments in the slow part where i even liked it better than horowitz's live recording. although i would have preferred more penetrating and ringing top notes for the right hand chords of that slow part... wat the heck, don't mind it. over all was great!

congratulations and keep it up!   

[henrah]

This piece is way too popular.

Because it's way too good!

[dreamplaying]

Dear Friend:

I really would like to watch your video, however I'm new and have no good skill handling internet. Would tou give me a help (explanation) on how can I watch or download your video once I'm in tube web page?

Thanks a lot

Maybe just a little slow for my taste. But quite cool.

Only "nit noi".
I'm learning laotian actually.
Do you play the Op.23 N.3 too ? I like it very much.

[jlh]

Very nice!  Perhaps the middle section could move forward a little more, but I like the way you died down to nothing at the end of that section.

Wow, cool. No, I am not playing Op.23 No.3

Woo, thanks a lot. "i would have preferred more penetrating and ringing top notes for the right hand chords of that slow part" You mean bring out more top notes?
