This interpretation is nearly unbeatable and unsurpassable. Everything is perfect. The central section is touching, very sentimental yet carefully weighed and progresses with unfaltering logic.The reprise of section A is also a masterpiece of crescendo and gradual accelerando. The intellectual and emotional understanding he has of this Prelude is truly out of the ordinary. This is Nikolai Lugansky at his very best, ladies and gentlemen.
I have listened to SEVERAL renditions of this piece. When I listened to this version for the first time, I knew right away that it's my favorite. Amazing.
Lugansky has got to be one of the most musical pianists I have ever studied. His melodies are ALWAYS there, and his interpretation of the score is very consistent. Incredible.
Прослушал эту композицию в интерпретации всех известных исполнителей. Думал, что Гилельс и Рихтер - вне конкуренции, но Луганский превзошел все ожидания. Его интерпретация, на мой взгляд, удалась лучше всех.
''I feel like a ghost wandering in a world grown alien. I cannot cast out the old way of writing and I cannot acquire the new. I have made an intense effort to feel the musical manner of today, but it will not come to me.'' Sergei Rachmaninoff
В этом исполнении эта музыка весенняя .... Ручьи, гроза, ветер срывает лепестки с яблонь, расходятся тучи и яркое солнце пронзает землю торжествуя!!! Браво Маэстро!
I had the chance to see Nikolai performing live, sadly he didn't play this prelude... I'm trying to learn this prelude and right now and it feels so insanely hard, not only to play it with a constant flow but to make it sound intense and full of spirit... I can't even imagine how much dedication and effort Nikolai put into it so he could be able to play this prelude with such a strong, passionate yet clear musicality. I feel like a newborn puppy next to Cerberus whenever I listen to this interpretation...
João Monteiro I don't know how far you are with learning that piece, but from my experience I advise you to first learn all the notes by heart and once you're comfortable with simply playing it I'd start working on the dynamics and intonation.
ThigioBadoni I'm more or less done with it, I havent played it lately because I had to study other pieces for an exam. But all I need to do now is to polish some sections and work on the dynamics, which will take another while, and then i'll be happy with it!
I learnt this piece one year ago, and even though I’ve been very busy with other pieces and exams, I still haven’t finished it by heart, and certain things need polishing, like how I play the central part. Nikolai there did the best job someone could do for this piece.
best interpretation i have heard so far. so many hidden details he brings to the forefront in the left hand and in the middle voices. most pianists just bring out the topmost lines in the soprano, or else the recordings were poorly done/ manipulated by the recording engineers...
The best version of Prelude no. 5 by far-- so much better than Lang Lang's!! I listen to this at least three times a day and it never gets old. This guy is WAY under appreciated!!
Congratulation. This performance is better than performance of Valentina Lisitsa. I like her, but Nikolai Lugansky is very good, elegant and perfect pianist.
That middle section is so perfectly weighted. The inner voices come out so beautifully and lyrically its incredible. Espicially the middle voice at 1:59
МОЩНЫЙ, СВОБОДНЫЙ,НАСТОЯЩИЙ МУЖЕСТВЕННЫЙ ПИАНИСТ.ЗАСВОБОДОЙ И ЛЕГКОСТЬЮ КРОЮТСЯ ТИТАНИЧЕСКИЕ ГОДЫ ТРУДЫ,НО ТО ЧТО ОЧЕНЬ ОДАРЕННЫЙ МУЗЫКАНТ ,НЕТ СОМНЕНИЯ БРАВО!
Lugansky showing his class. I don't agree with everything in the performance (e.g. the lengthened chords at 1.00+ which disrupt the flow in my view), but there's no doubt this is a remarkable performance overall, all the more so for being live. Clean, accurate, sensible, impressive. Great job.
Прелюдия 5 опус 23 такая жизнеутверждающая Музыка ! Хочется жить, возродиться,взлететь, сделать что то очень хорошее для людей.спасибо господи, что посылаешь нам таких людей!
His interpretations are always so simple, clean, and elegant and full of his exquisite touch and control. He makes everything he plays sound so bloody good.
There has never, and I say NEVER been anyone to play this so flawlessly and yet beautifully, especially the middle part. It's simply...heavenly, stary, fiery, choose whatever word pleases you, for me it's all three of them.
At some points I wanted to say he was overdoing tempo a bit but the more I listened I found myself enjoying his expressive power right in all the right places. Really one of the better interpretations out here.
I had that thought on hearing this prelude (not lugansky but same prelude) about 20 years ago. Now I'm a piano teacher! 😁 It's never too late to start!
This is one of my most favourite piano pieces, it's so dynamic, like going on a journey. So many great pianists play this piece really well but Nikolai Lugansky just nails it.
Grande Tachimaninow em talento nessa composição de inspiração sem comentários! É impossível ao conhecimento comum das pessoas! Só o Divino para explicar...
Nikolai is definitely one of the best who has ever played this piece! His technique and interpretation are on point, just like hearing Rachmaninoff himself. Phenomenon performance!
One of the best interpretations by .Nikolai Lugansky , Rachmaninoff's spirit,.the great master of this piece . Thank you for sharing.I am an aspiring pia......
Saw him perform Rach's 3rd piano concerto a few days ago. Absolutely stunning performance. He is definitely the greatest living interpreter of Rachmaninov's music.
God bless the man who create youtube,only because of him we could touch masterpiece of two talanted men and listen them as we were in concert. Doesn't matter that it is virtual, you can listen it anywhere,anytime and get brain satisfaction! Lugansky is the personality!
Wow....what the fudge is wrong with this guy?!?!? How can someone's hands actually perform something like this!?!? ...too amazing... I can't believe what I just saw...
It's not that hard bruh. But it sure is one of the most exciting/beautiful piano works out there. It needs to become even more famous than it is already in the realm of classical music (to join like moonlight sonata)
This is the way it’s meant to be played by the Russian genius Rachmaninov. Other piano pros like Denis Matsuev tend to play it way too fast, but this one is just ideal. I know music is subjective, but this is pretty much the best classic music piece I’ve ever heard 🎹 🎵 😱
Nikolai Lugansky.

Today (08/12/2021) I discovered Nikolai Lugansky. What an unbelievable pianist.
Today I discovered Nikolai Lugansky, Jan 6, 2022
Today, 19/01/2022, I discovered Lugansky
Can't remember the date I discovered him, but it was when he did a duet with Rudenko playing La Valse ^^ ya can probably find it on CZcams :)
20 .08.22
The best pianist.
He has the Russian touch. Notice how he relaxes after every note.
Just came from a piano lesson with my teacher from over 10 years ago. “Relax, drop hand.” It’s the Russian way 🙏🏾

You'll never turn back. This is the only interpretation that exists in my mind.
try gilels, its much better
What do you think of this one. czcams.com/video/-lZKLV6lbAs/video.html
Yes, this and Valentina's are my favourite. Amazing.
Olga Sheps is far better.
Lugansky has got to be one of the most musical pianists I have ever studied. His melodies are ALWAYS there, and his interpretation of the score is very consistent. Incredible.
The best version EVER of this prelude PERFECT
nah, valentina lisitsa's version is way better 😏
Each to their own, I love Lisitsa also
Its good but i feel that gilels interpretation was better at showing the theme, this was played too fast.
This actually seems to be the tempo most artists play at and yesI love Gilels also but he uses far too much pedal in my view
tempo at this version seems like the one used by composer
Powerful rendition ! This needs more views... Nikolai Lugansky is one of the best intepreter of Rachmaninov's music
Definitely.
The way he makes Rachmaninoff's brilliance comes to life.... truly exceptional
He is just the best, not one of the best, but really.
true

Lugansky.....the best interepreter right now at least in Rachmaninoff's pieces.
@@EmptyVee00000 nah, his fingers are quite small for Rachmaninoff.
Marvin Torrejas You are right, Rachmaninoff's fingers were much bigger.
listen to Rach 2 played by kissin, eargasm

The crescendo starting from 2:18 is just perfect

0:34 is the best
It is so epic and heroic

Lugansky's Rachmaninoff is Rubinstein's Chopin
XD so true
Actually his Chopin interpretations are also very very good. Especially op48 no1. Definitely one of the best out there!
Beautifully put!!!
MrGroberUnfug Rachmaninov was a fan of Chopin. He even composed mazurkas, and recorded some Chopin‘s compositions.
And berezovsky's liszt
His interpretations are always so simple, clean, and elegant and full of his exquisite touch and control. He makes everything he plays sound so bloody good.

너무 좋네요!

One of the greatest interpreter of Rachmaninoff of our time and one of the greatest living pianists ! 🙏🏻
My piano teacher wants me to play that piece ! It's really beautiful !
i dont play piano but i guestimate its a very difficult tune to bang out on the board
There has never, and I say NEVER been anyone to play this so flawlessly and yet beautifully, especially the middle part. It's simply...heavenly, stary, fiery, choose whatever word pleases you, for me it's all three of them.
