Please help ID what Lugansky is playing?
on: March 17, 2015, 11:26:14 AM
Hello,

I hope this finds everyone well.

I found this interview of Nikolai Lugansky on YouTube, but it is all in Russian with no subtitles.  I was wondering if anyone might know what he is playing beginning 29:53?



Thank you so much for your consideration!

Best regards,

Appears to be a solo version of the Adagio from Rachmaninov's Symphony No.2.
