“Music is enough for a lifetime, but a lifetime is not enough for music.” -Sergei Rachmaninoff
12:29 "Guys, I understand why you wanna me to react to this one" (and he still hadn't heard the second movement...😅)
It brings joy knowing that someone gets this enjoyment for the first time.
That's how I got into classical music, most beautiful piece
Me too
You need to hear the BEAST Yuja Wang play this! In my humble opinion as an 80 year-old composer-jazz pianist, Yuja is the greatest pianist alive and there are videos of her playing this! You’ll be blown away! Yuja played all 4 Rachmaninoff concerti and the Rhapsody on a Theme Of Paganini in ONE CONCERT! Killer!
Fun facts: 1. Eric carmen said this was the most beautiful music he ever heard, that is why he wrote "All By myself" based on the second mvmnt, 2. He composed this after an existencial crisis, and seeing a psyc for a few months, he felt he could not compose anymore..then he made this..amazing, 3. Rach's hands were gigantic, his large hands were able to span a twelfth (an octave and a half or, for example, a stretch from middle C to high G)
I visibly teared up at that very end of the 3rd movement. I always do, it feels like whatever happened in the other movements, it is all okay, things will be better, and I overcame struggles that filled me with despair and tragedy. Amazing reaction video and AMAZING PIECE. We love Rachmaninoff!!!
Such an incredible piece. And even more moving knowing it was this work, and its astounding and immediate success, that marked his return to composition after his 3 year depressive episode ( due to the negative premiere of his first symphony). He dedicated it to his Neurologist, the man who helped him regain his confidence and motivation. No piece to me portrays "overcoming" quite like this...and it sure was exactly that to him.
Very difficult to listen to pieces of this stature and length to take in the first time. This is fairly melodic so easier to assimilate but some pieces I didn't like then loved like some prokofiev etc
It's always interesting to hear the same piece played by different performers. The differences outline all the artistic choices and interpretations. My favorite thing is when I hear an performer highlight something in the piece I had never heard before. It was there all along but ignored by others.
You are an enigma, your appreciation for classical music restores my faith in humanity
It's OK be overwhelmed and without words at such a piece.
I used the words heroic, virtuosic, triumph over traged& despair, yearning.
Your face & body show your reactions....Bravo
I love how the third movements second theme (the relaxing and beautiful one) has the characteristic yearning feeling of Rachmaninov’s entire concerto. I am only 17 years old, and have been listening to this piece for a year now. it has changed my life. I listen to all types of music, but nothing can ever make me feel how this does. I don’t think I will ever tire of it, I think it is just timeless and is a great way into all classical music, a soundscape so broad that it can feel like it embodies life itself.
Your journey is only beginning.
In my opinion the most beautiful piece ever created
totally agree.
Siete due matti, e non sapete quello che dite. È indubbiamente un bellissimo concerto, ma il secondo di Brahms è assolutamente superiore, come il terzo, il quarto e il quinto di Beethoven, i due di Chopin, PER NON PARLARE DI MOZART!…
This and Rachmaninoff symphony 2 (mvt 3 min especially) same with Rachmaninoff Paganini variation, I forgot the specific name but there’s one that sounds like heaven lol
I think the 3rd concerto is his best piece, but surely the 2nd piano concerto is the piece with the most immediate and consistent appeal I know. From first to last second it's beautiful.
You should put one of between opinion and the.
I love how you say it was such a complicated piece and simple at the same time I'm not actually knowledgeable when it comes to classical music but it's because of this piece that I actually started listening to classical and everytime I hear it just keeps getting better and better.
GIDI: "Like a hug from someone you love" - beautiful!
Great to have this opportunity to follow someone discovering the world(s) of classical music. Brings back the sense of freshness when listening.
“It’s really so much to take in, pause” 💀😭
OMG, this is My fucking favorite Channel on CZcams lol❤
You're going to love his Symphony Number 2!
Hopefully you get to listen to this performance live one day
Going to see Yuja play it in Feb. Very excited.
Thank you so much for uploading this again, it's one of my all-time favourite pieces of music. You're absolutely right about the emotional depth in this piece, it's just spectacular. I'm having a rough day with my long covid and really struggling with energy and focus today so I'm going to watch this as you originally uploaded it, one movement at a time. Movement one done and now I'm nice and relaxed. Thank you again for putting this back on your channel.
Hope you get better soon 🙏🏾😌
This was the second piece I listened to. I was stunned. That was 5 years ago.

25:47 Beautiful
I agree with your reaction on this piece...for me it was Rachmaninoff' 3rd concerto was my fav...but then only after quite a few years and listeningany times i loved it
Eric Carmen used the slow movement of this for his 70's hit "All By Myself".....and then the andante from Rachmaninoff's Symphony #2 for his follow-up "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again"....
One of the most beautiful creations on earth.
Who knew that "a six-and-a-half foot scowl" could write some of the most beautiful music.
I dont know of youll ever see this comment. A few people have summarized the story but havent explaine it fully. This song is so special.
Rachmaninoff's first Symphony beduted as a disaster. The conductor was reportedly drunk. So drunk that rhe first note if the symphony startled him, causing him to throw his batton into the crowd. The symphony itself eas awful. Rhe musicians didn't know their parts. Unfortunately, Rachmaninoff receoved most of the criticism for the failure. According to him, it crushed him.
For rhe next 3 years he couldnt write anything due to severe depression. He eventually saw a therapist named nikolai dahl. With the help fonhis therapist Rachmaninoff overcame hos depression. The first piece he wrote was the second piano concerto. The music is his story of overcoming and healing.
The first movement builds to this stunning crescendo in the very beginning that ultimately falls apart into sadness. The second movement as you said is so sad and so beautiful. It's his pain. His heart ache. But the ending of it is some of the most healing music ypull ever hear. That is him forgivng himself. That moment where the piano hits and and starts pulsing back and forth as the violin takes the melody. Pure catharsis. The third movement is a climactic build to the part you said was your favorite. That is him completely overcoming his depression. The third movement ends with the grandiose explosion of color representing his excitement and passion for life restored.
I hope you see this comment.
Much love! Appreciate the backstory. I reacted to a short version of his life and he is an inspiration for many people out there that are battling depression. Great composer!
There are alot of typos in this a proof read would've been helpful
lol@@jackisinforthewin
I recommend listening to Anna Fedorova’s version of this concerto on CZcams!!! She is AMAZING
Denis Matsuev listen to him
I wonder whether you know the story about how Rachmaninoff suffered a period of deep depression, went to see a psychiatrist and as a result, wrote this concerto. I love Rachmaninoff's music. I improvise on the piano myself. I also write poems.
Because of the Bolshevik revolution, Rachmaninoff had to leave his homeland, never to return. He settled in New York. My grandmother's family lived in Russia until the same event when my great-grandfather had to escape back to the UK with nothing. He lost everything. There is a family legend that he escaped by hiding under a seat in a railway carriage. He was about to be arrested by Red Guards.
By the way you pronounce the ch in his name like the word loch for lake in Scotland.
Became very famous from the use of extracts in the film "Brief Encounter".
glad its back up, i really missed this one!
Me listening to rach. Gidi: “Stay hydrated 😃” lol all jokes aside though, great video and I gotta say that I love this concerti. Absolutely gorgeous.
Then you have to listen to his 1st Piano concerto
Ive always thought this song sounded like a rainy day in the city. You know, when you hear the occasional car splashing down the road, but otherwise its.just you and the sound of rain on the sidewalk.
Nice that you reuploaded it!
I have the sheet music for this lying on my piano but i can only play the first few parts because its so difficult!
And the beginning part for the piano is acutally very fast because you sad it was slow at 1:59 😅
Wow this piece brings back so many memories and emotions. Btw you can listen to Debussy "La Mer" (the Sea) and Boulanger "Psalm 130". You won't regret it :)
How is the Prokofjev piano concerto no. 3 comming around😊?
This is a fun one!
Good listening❤
This is the second piece that I heard from him that I liked, the first being his Prelude No. 5
First movement is like love, meandering,struggling rise then climax...and wistful longing,dying.7.15 is like 'we're going somewhere wondrous and accelerating'
Great! You did my request!!!
First time I heard this when I was a kid...Van Cliburn was behind the keys.
When he says complicated and not knowing where to start. alot going on. Very perceptive, as the 2nd and 3rd movements were written first
3rd movement is the best one for me
For me 2nd>1st>3rd
Yo he visto el video de Yuja Want interpretando esta obra y sentirla mientras toca. Digno de ver.
the live version by Kissin is incredible too !
Indeed, maybe the best version.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
