Rachmaninoff's Elegy - it's an absolutely fantastic masterpiece performed by the highest class, the brilliant music of the Russian composer awakens incredible feelings in the soul, helps to live, think, love and empathize. . .

I learned this piece when i was a teenager. I continued to play this piece throughout the years and have discovered that this is a great example of an “adult” piece. I think time and age really helps to translate the piece more effectively. I notice a huge difference between the ages.

Am I the only one who enjoys not only the music itself but also the elegance and good taste surrounding the concerts? the piano itself, the lighting and decoration of the room or stage in which is taking place, the beauty of the pianist (in this case), her attire, her looks, her attitude, her poise... Well it's overwhelming for my aesthetical sensitivity...

[olakolade]

Rachmaninoff really touches the soul. Elegance, melody, emotion, deep music, everything. This is why he is my favorite composer :D

[АлександрИвановСмыслЖизни]

Это просто какое-то, , чудо, шедевр, это музыкальный рассказ, исповедь, наполненная Духом Божиим, где есть и сострадание, и печаль, и крик души, и умиление и хоть Рахманинов это непревзойденный мастер в расшевелении душ человеческих, где любое его произведение- уникально в саоем роде, но Элегию все же нельзя без слез и содррогания слушать.Исполнено просто чувственно, проникновенно здорово❤

Basta con pianisti, pur brave, scosciate. Con tette in vista .. sobrietà e classe come Irina .. bella e garbata!@!!

Somebody please tell me who can better perform & interpret this Elegy than Irina Lankova. She literally stabbed in my heart.

[GhostAron]

This is one of the best interpretations of this elegie I've listened. So emotional, so romantic, so deep, so beautiful.
Thank you ♥

[Zr_dyz]

The way her fingers float over the keys is lovely.

[vadikaladik]

I can't help but listen to this recording every single time I sit down to learn this piece, it inspires me and I have no words to describe how awesome this was played. Bravo!

[vickdewit]

Comparing to other players. This is probably the best performance I even did hear. It is the best left hand in this performance, which made it very special.

[Scouzeboy]

A great performance.
This piece is dedicated to Arensky who was taught by Tchaikovsky. Both Rachmaninov and Scriabin where taught by Arensky.

I can hear tiny stylistic snippets of Tchaikovsky and Scriabin in this piece. Pure romanticism.

[elcanaldeselene]

This is one of the very best versions I've ever heard of Elegie. Simply touching and magnifique! 👏

[gennadiyshenfeld]

[Rockstarcinematics]

I feel this piece…only classical can move me to tears. I can see a whole life’s worth of pain, sadness, suffering, joy and happiness in this.

[ricscott]

Beautiful playing; wonderful performance of this piece. Thanks for posting.

[meredith]

Highly expressive without being over indulgent. She has an intelligent grasp of structure, thereby bringing a fine cohesive effect to the piece.
