This moved me to tears,as it was perfect.
A mim, também!
You guys…...wauw! Amazing! Beautiful to watch and listen to. I love this video!!
Thank you so much for this most moving performance. I have purchased your arrangement and am working on it now. I can't wait to be able to play it.
You guys are fantastic. What a beautiful execution! :) I was missing your videos and can't wait for the next one. Also, I would love to see your concert in person where I live (Brasilia, Brazil).
Both stunning as always!
SO HAPPY YOU TOO HAVE STARTED UPLOADING VIDS AGAIN!
Incredible, not any other word describe this.
Absolutely stunning!
What a beautiful sound to start the morning. I love these two.
bought your CD when I was in middle school and the THE SWAN made me cry because it's so beautiful...
now I am about to graduate from college and you guys are still playing....
thank you so much for making my life better.
+mingqian li you too? I thought I was the only one !! #lifegoals
I REALLY BELIVE IN THEM
Beautiful
Wonderful!! bravissimo!
I so enjoyed your work during the Cliburn. You were both outstanding. I loved the passion and insight you brought to the program. Hope you'll be invited back for the next one.
You are wonderful)))
I have no words.
MARAVILHOSO!
Fortissimo!
I recorded this 21 years ago on an album for clarinet and piano and incredibally in just one take.
Meravigliosi !!!
Incredibili arrangiamento degno del Maestro Rachmaninoff. Loro fantastici
Stunning performance
Increíble
Обновляет и освежает ваше исполнение, спасиБо
I love you soooooooooo much.
please come to Surabaya :D
A more robust version, this one-it had great appeal. Thank you
I desperately hope for this music to survive our species... So that we may be remembered for something of value.
The best piano duet of a GREAT piece!!!
보러갔어야 했는데ㅎ 넘 늦게 알았다
Come to iceland!
Any plans to appear in South Florida (Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Miami)?
I love these two - especially their fun performances like Erlkonig, but if those expressions were sincere, there would occasionally be tears. So much for their sincerity...
Rachmaninoff : I got some of him, in piano lessons, to develop muscles, in hands. (My dad used to wonder, if our piano had a soft pedal!) But I haven't played, for years! You lose it when you don't keep it up, just like, with voice. I gave all music, to my son, in OK, now. He's a performance major, in trombone, for his BS degree, but went on, in optometry. I moved, from a bigger house, in CA, to my parent's house, here, which is half the size. Except, for a full basement (that leaks) I wouldn't have fit!
Coming back to this wonderful arrangement, and having learned it, I feel like it's done beautifully in the spirit of Rachmaninoff except maybe for the moment at 4:02-4:03 (a #11 chord?). That harmony felt a little self-indulgent to me composition-wise, not something Rachmaninoff would have written.
+Caramellatta You have a very sensitive ear, Caramellatta; very good and attentive listening. I tend to agree with you in principle-- it probably is not a harmony that Rachmaninoff would have used. Over-all, the arrangement is so lush and authentic that I don't really find the chord distracting. But the arrangement would be every bit as good without it.
Actually, it's a dominant 7th♯9, though spelled as ♭10, but you have a good ear indeed! You're probably right that it's not something Rachmaninoff would have written, but strangely he played that very chord in his Elegie Op. 3, No. 1 piano roll recording, at the return of the A section. It wasn't notated in the score, but I assume he just felt like doing it while being in that particular moment. Talk about a composer's intentions! :)
@@paracostella Thank you- you're right; I just checked and it is a #9,; #11 is a very different sound. And wow, thanks so much for pointing out the Elegie! This is fascinating. That #9, the F sharp (or G flat) comes so quietly, almost hushed and apologetic, no? It almost felt like Rachmaninoff had the whim to try it on spot but did so almost tentatively, not wanting it to be too harsh or offensive. Now I am really curious to scan his works and see if he ever does notate it deliberately elsewhere, or to find where this harmony appears in other piano music of the era (maybe in Scriabin?).

I love Your duo :) but pls... This vocalise was too fast. Your second video with vocalise in yt is much better /fan from Poland
Completely agree...
You realise that Anderson arranged this duo right?
The orchestral versions which Rachmaninoff made (in two different keys) can succeed at a slow tempo, which is probably why he orchestrated them in the first place. On the piano, the fact that the instrument cannot sustain longer notes as well as orchestral instruments means that a slow tempo tends to sound heavy and ponderous. Here's a version for two pianos: czcams.com/video/c9lUVr5GIkA/video.html
You are fantastic but you should do more songs from our generation😄
What a ridiculous thing to say. Name a composer today from your generation that has the emotional intensity and sheer lyric beauty that Rachmaninoff possessed. Please? I would like to know.
+Bart Watts
I do love that !!! ahahahah... Cheers !
And also, they did lots of modern song covers hahahaha it’s like 60% of their channel
It's amazing Greg didn't come from Russia or China, but some other country not known for musical geniuses.
Commendable before Deity...
Why those facial expressions are SOOOOOO exagerated? Less is more...
Otherwise very rich sound, I like it a lot.
Do you know Lang Lang?
The world we live in these days..
"Less is more"? I don't agree. I wouldn't want to see musicians with boring facial expressions.
In response to @Col. Narciso Fiaschetta's "Do you know Lang Lang?"
Sadly, yes.
"Sadly, yes"...hahaha...I feel the same way about Lang Lang.
naja
Sorry, personal problem, but NO music is that enchanting! Watch the greats, many very old or gone (but videos are numerous) but they do not look like they're in the middle of sex when they play! The younger ones seem to be trying to outdo one another. I think it embarrasses the audience; you feel like your intruding!
Personally, this piece is that enchanting to me. It evokes very deep feelings in me every time I hear it, so i can imagine for the musicians who play the piece.
The emotive moments need to stop. Just because some people can pull off something does not mean you can. Because (and no offense) you look ridiculous doing it. You do not have the body or facial features to pull it off. Maybe if u were playing alone and had more age on your face but right now the facial expressions and emotive moments are astonishingly cringe worthy to watch. Jmho.
I agree, the expressions are absurd, overly-dramatic, and made it impossible for me to watch. Classical musicians do NOT make these exaggerated expressions, unless they have not been taught better. Lang Lang is a prime example of how to ruin a good performance with unnecessary dramatics. It is possible to maintain a beautiful countenance with subtle expression while performing. We are musicians, not actors. Ex: 1:45-2:20. 2:07- 2:12, 2:40-2:44, so awkward. This piece is such an expressive work, but not particularly sexual in the first place. Just such a cheapening of what was really quite good otherwise.
