“Youthful freshness is not an unexpected quality considering that the first movement of the Concerto was written by a student musician of 17, and the second and third movements when he was all of 18. What is remarkable is that Rachmaninoff maintained the freshness when he revised the work in 1917, some 26 years later. By that time, he had many major works to his credit - in addition to the Second and Third Piano Concertos, there were two symphonies, for the second of which he had won the prestigious Glinka Prize. And he had become celebrated not only as a composer but also as a pianist and conductor. The First Concerto, then, reflects both a teenaged Rachmaninoff who was already in possession of a strongly defined compositional style, and a mature, worldly, and experienced creative artist."

I love this Concerto. It was my graduation piece in my Bachelor of Music degree 72 years ago. It sounds more beautiful now than when i was working on it. Of course how can one compare a student to a virtuoso? Though the notes are the same the overall effect is so different. How i wish i had never stopped playing the piano. Listening to Lugansky and Fedorova inspire an old student to try again but no, listening and lmagining oneslf playing is enjoyable enough . We must admit there's a time for everything.
At 72 years old, you're still living. Maybe you don't play Rachmaninov concertos, but there is a wide chasm between that and chopsticks that leaves plenty of music to play! What's stopping you? I got my bachelor's also but due to the need to work to survive I never had a moment or access for 14 years. A few years ago I was finally able to get a piano. Fall of 2020 after brain surgery, my husband being unemployed for three months, and three family members dying including my mom, I thought what's keeping me from serious study? I found a Russian master teacher in my metro area and am learning old-school Russian technique.
Give it another thought! It's not all or nothing. Try Grieg's "Notturno." Is a wonderful piece to restart playing.
Don't feel too sad, Dee. You did it, and to play such a work at any time in your life is something that most of us can only marvel. Like you, am a big fan of Lugansky and Fedorova. Being in an audience to hear Nicholas play Rachmaninov ( Rhapsody on a theme..) is a memory to cherish for all time. A modern day Zimerman
Start playing again Dee!
You can always listen ro other comçosers, but who among them has the same genius of meëody, pleasant harmony and delightful surprises which have always been a hallmark of the music of both Joseph Haydn & Сергей Рахманинов.
@@matthewcoldicutt5951 have you heard Alexander Malofeev play the Rhapsody on a Theme?! He performed it brilliantly, age 17 at the time (he's 19 now). Is performing this concerto in a few weeks for the first time.
Rach 1 is sooo underrated imo. This great piece of work deserves a lot more attention!
The structure in this piece is extraordinary clear. But great job in marking out the sections of each movement so that it is easy for everyone to follow!
This is my first time listening to concerto N o.1. I didn't know it is as beautiful as the other two more famous ones. Love it.
then you should listen to the fourth one, too! it's really a beautiful work, written in rachs more modern, more american style. it's quite jazzy sometimes :)
Fun fact: Rachmaninoff composed this concerto when he was only 18 years old!
@Manel Baró we
@@doodle_fran7391 Yes, but he revised it considerably years later.
Nikolai Lugansky is brilliant beautiful concert
Lugansky is perfect
Wonderful Rachmaninoff..but with Mr Lugansky and Maestro Kochanovsky I'd expect nothing less. Keeping it short..1st movement cadenza..brilliant. 2nd movement..lovely..one of Rachmaninoff's most underrated creations. 3rd movement. Sparkling clarity by the pianist, never rushed, which is often the case. Also..at 22:31 love the almost "improvisational piano playing.. Beautiful dynamics from the orchestra. REALLY nice recording as well. Thanks much for this video.
Underrated piano concerto by great Rachmaninoff.
He is definitely a Rach specialist ~
Superb interpreter of Rachmaninov, the great Nikolai Lugansky. Let us bow to the inimitable Russian piano school.
The cadenza of the first movement is absolutely euphoric, so dramatic and intense. Some of the best piano music ever. And this is an excellent interpretation. My piano teacher c. 1980, Mr Sokoloff from Bucks County Pa. actually knew Rach when he was associated with the Philadelphia orchestra and Eugene Ormandy in the 1930s. Sounds now like ancient history.
This is my favorite Rachmaninoff piano concerto and the most difficult & exhausting to play with the endless filigreed rapid arpeggios and an original cadenza of draining difficulty noz played here for obvious reasons. I believe performances should be shared by pianists on 2 separate pianos with one pianist playing the original cadenza then the 3rd movement. It is a shame that this most beautiful of the Rachmaninoff piano concertos is nearly unperformable. It really dates from 1917, ten years after his 3rd piano concerto when Rachmaninoff thoroughly revised what was an early 1st piano concerto before he sadly left Russia once and for all.
¡Bravo! La combinación Rachmaninov-Lugansky es siempre una maravilla.
I love this concerto. A pity it's not more popular. It was my introduction to the soundscape of Rachmaninoff.
Me too. A lovely romantic concerto and mature Rachmaninoff - totally revised in 1917
This concerto can be judged solely by how the pianist plays the middle section, a true masterpiece in all but the andante is something truly different. to be able to cut the speed and aggressiveness of the first movement, and play a smooth but colossal piece of music that has a lot of quickly changing thirds and awkward transitions through the hand, accompanied with multiple voicings. Lugansky does amazing, as does Zimmerman
Yes, I first heard this through Zimmerman’s interpretation, but both Zimmerman and Lughansky’s interpretations are exquisite
Zimmerman is a favourite of mine, but I'd have to say I like Lugansky better for this piece. Zimmerman plays with a great energy which is what this piece needs, but in the cadenza, especially in the first movement, he rushes through it and loses the power and impact of these chords. Where as Lugansky is spot on with everything. Such an honour to think I once heard him live!
C'est "LE" concerto pour piano. Une pure merveille ! Si vous ne deviez en connaître qu'un seul...
Magnifique interprétation de Lugansky comme toujours.
4:23 House playing violin, what a multifaceted dr!
LOOOL
FYI House is also an renowned actor
Beautiful, so glad I could see and hear this! Too bad this is not performed more.
Lugansky -- the most beautiful pianist.
To think this was written by a high-school age boy and still grabs me !!!!
Increíble Lugansky
So beautiful performance!! Thank you so much for sharing!
The end of movement 2 is in the top 10 moments of all of music without a doubt
Actually the central movements of all Rachmaninoffs Concertos are the focal point of the entire piece.

Thank you
This pianist is so very kinetic suave. Refined and fluid like that proverbial “stream of oil”? Rachmaninov compositions are quite high concept unique. For a pianist and composer in his late teens his subconscious mind enjoyed immediate access into the conscious which rendered his ideas cosmic dynamic. This subliminal bond of creativity made his concertos so sparkling, emotionally satisfying and refreshing. Such a “well-tempered” genius with the ability to touch spirits of practically all musical sensibilities. His piano concerto #2 was my point of entrance into the wonders of his genre and lifelong admirer of his treasured legacy. PWG
The recording I've been wanting to get for forever LET'S GOOOOOOOO
Amazing performance! Best I’ve heard
17:08 i don't know how to describe the felling after listen this part for first time, i love the entires 4 piano concertos
16:47 sublime!
In my opinion, one of the most underrated musical ideas by Rachmaninov. The piano build up from 17:05 to 18:05, (with the beautiful orchestral accompaniment) it’s just an absolute perfect minute.
Straordinario Lugansky nella cadenza del I tempo
Aggiungerei anche romantico un pianista completo. Molto molto molto bravo.
Super virtuoso...
I love this performance
I tried to learn to play the piano. The teacher told my mother that I was blowing into it. But, 73 Carnegie Hall performances as a singer worked out fine.
What's it like at carnegie?
Le voilà, ici, dans son répertoire de prédilection ! Merci, Nikolaî, et continues dans ce répertoire la, tu y excelles !
11:48 has got to be one of the most beautiful piano moments i have ever heard. that entire cadenza honestly, but especially that part.
Как профессиональный пианист говорю что это гениальная интерпретация! Причем это относится не только к Луганскому (который по моему мнению является в наше время лучшим исполнителем Рахманинова), но также к дирижёру и оркестру!
Согласен насчёт современных интерпретаторов! А кого посоветуете из старых гениев?
@@vladislavstezhko1864 Рихтер, Гилельс, Софроницкий, Поллини, Циммерман, Ашкенази только Рахманинова, сам Рахманинов, Горовиц (не образец, просто слушать, для мотивации и удовольствия)
Слушать Николая Луганского всегда истинное наслаждение
Amazing performance ❤️
Vim às lagrimas no segundo movimento! Lugansky é estupendo! Rachmaninov toca minha alma! Parabéns a orquestra tbm!
Que extraordinario disfrutar desde Argentina este bello concierto con espléndida orquesta y virtuoso solista!!! Gracias....
Браво , Маэстро👏👏👏👏
What a good pianist 😱 bravo
A parte la bravura eccelsa di questo pianista trovo che suoni il pianoforte con una tecnica tutta sua, senza enfasi, senza quei modi trasognati che a volte sono un po' esagerati. Quel poco che concede all'ispirazione è molto trattenuta, direi quasi abbozzata per poi tornare alla perfetta padronanza di sé. Ovvio che la musica di Rachmaninov è talmente intensa e romantica che e dev'essere suonata con passione, e Lugansky ce la mette di certo, ma se voglio essere pignolo direi che è meglio sentirlo a occhi chiusi che vederlo suonare... a parte le mani che sono una creazione divina che gli è stata donata... e vedrele correre sulla tastiera ti sbalordisce tanto sembrano delicate e armoniose.
Браво.
CZcams ci ha donato nel 2020 due performances eccezionali di questo concerto: mi riferisco al presente video e a quell con Anna Fedorova solista
😍 schöne Hände ♥️👍👏
I can’t believe he was only 17!😮
So beautifully
i played 1st part in college, and after 5 years played 1st part as orchestra on graduated exam of my friend
Superbe !
It’s crazy that this is his op 1
I played the 1st movrment with an orchestra. I think I was a sophomore and it was in 1971 I think. I felt like I kept up with this pianist tempo and musically. I contined to get a masters degree and one year of a doctorate and then quit school. So burned out.
@@stanleyshelmireIt is amazing to me that there are as many individuals as there are who have possessed the talent to play music of this difficulty and profundity, at any level. Having attended hundreds of piano competition recitals, it always saddened me to know how few of the participants would achieve their dreams of playing for the public for a living.

Fantastic performance
My favorite concert
9:01
This is amazing
Un Rachmaninov molto bene interpretato. Veramente bravo.
Best interpretation .
Vladimir Ashkenazy
Lugansky plays Rachmaninof like no other. With expression but not without taste or sounding like Chopin instead of Rachmaninof or Liszt as other do.
21:09 dr House
Emocionante
If Rachmaninoff had not gone on to compose even greater concerti, this would be in the repertoire far more often.
Lugansky is always excellent especially in Rachmaninoffs music.
Всегда слушаю , в восторге 🔥🔥🔥
11.50 best Moment to change the camera perspective... Well done
Rachmaninoff: en el.piamo su carácter; en la orquesta, su espíritu. Un hombre que supo.describir con su música el.alma humana.como nadie
Russian‘ s soul!!!
Thank you so much for this video. He is AWESOME!!!!!!
Yes, this concert was the prelude of wonderful Rachmaninoff musicality to follow.. such as the popular concerts 2 and 3 ..but his much ignored masterpieces : 4th and 5th concerts truly define Sergei's passions and the spectrum of his emotions.
@SharkTH I know ;You are correct..but , it could be re-classified as such
@@eugenvonwurttemburg7600 5th? Tf you on about, there are only 4.
@@sirchoppy1810 Perhaps he is including the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which is sometimes considered to be like the concertos.
4 concertos and the Rach-Pag......
17:08 es tan jodidamente hermoso 🤧
Thank you 🎉🎉🎉
BEAUTIFUL 😍
What was the camera motion at 21:12 about?
Some type of amateurish screw up I suppose.
Как звучит оркестр под руководством Маэстро ( почему не указываете фамилию дирижёра ?) Спасибо 👏👏👏👏👏👏 . Луганский яркий представитель российской фортепианной школы ! Браво ! Казахстан 🇰🇿
Станислав Качановский дирижирует, под видео указано.
That trumpet... 24:19 LMAO!
Bravissimo!!!!!!
브라보 👏 👏 👏
💐
Credo a mio avviso che il più bel rach1 mai ascoltato sia quello interpretato da Philippe Entremont, diretto se non ricordo male da Eugene Ormandy
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It was my first love ...❤

I agree with republiccooper. This concerto deserves more recognition. For me, #2 and #3 pale in comparison to #1. Blasphemy? No, it's just that I find #1 so personal and with so much feeling. The tempo here is a bit slow for my taste. I prefer Anna Fedorova's version.
listen to Zimmerman's version, its sublime
I feel that 2nd and 3rd movement of this concerto struggle to compare to their equivalent in Rach 2 and 3 though. This concerto feels underrated but I wouldn't say it's on the same level as 2 and 3.
@@TheAskald that is true too. The first mvm is utterly amazing but the second one doesn't achieves much development and is quite short. The third movement reaches a grand but rather rushed and bland finale. I feel that rach 2 has a wonderful first and second movement and well the rach 3 is, the third movement haha
For me, #1 has the greatest variety of gorgeous thematic material of all of Rachmaninoff's
five works for piano and orchestra, all equally magnificent in their own distinctive ways. I like the climax to #4 BEST OF ALL! I feel like jumping out of my skin!
Milton Moore
@@paltagay4485 I disagree. The 2nd mvmt is the most beautiful part and the heart of the whole concerto. My main problem is with the 3rd movement, and the rather uncompelling finale, no idea why Rach didn't have the restatement of that brilliant second theme. The 3rd movement just does not work, unfortunately.
루간스키 미쳤다 ㄷㄷㄷ 1악장 피날레전 독주파트 타마스바사리, 크리스티안짐머만 만큼 잘 쳤네 ㄷㄷ
К сожалению, у Циммермана нет русской души...увы!
Луганский великолепен, интеллектуален и совершенен!
Shades of Warsaw Concerto..

Rach was 17 when he wrote this
12:17 it seems a laser gun
Even if God was performing this unworldly composition as now, probably would still hear disruptive viral induced pulmonary spasms. Despite it all, a one of a kind performance, worthy of consideration of all time greatness.

Il piu' introspettivo concerto del maestro, il meno magniloquento e "piacione" .Molto intimamente Russo .Interpretato in questo caso con rara maestria e finezza poetica.Il concerto di Rachmaninov che amo di piu' , Poi il quarto , il terzo, ed infine il secondo.Troppo piacione ed effettistico a mio modesto parere ( il secondo intendo), a prescindere dal suo successo esagerato, di tanto pubblico americano .Non profondamente sincero, come questo lavoro giovanile, affinato per anni ed anni dal maestro.
L'âme russe brute de décoffrage, sans subtilité allégresse, profondeur, compositeur bien inférieur à Tchaïkovski !
Слава Богу, что Рахманинов " восстал из пепла " после разгрома первой симфония и этими завистниками и слабаками
И сумел создать гениальные произведения музыкального искусства))
This was before his 1st symphony
