Arsha is one of my ex-students from his school days (not music)! He has superstar quality… and is a wonderful and humble young man too! Congratulations on your success Arsha - as well as your status as a happy family man!!

this is possibly one of the most impressive things ive ever watched in my life

The duet 3.5 minutes in is so beautifully orchestrated here and is something that often goes missing from solo arrangements of this piece. Well done

[MrInterestingthings]

I was really interested in hearing and seeing how the pianist would weave the sometimes thick lines of the orchestral part with the always busy solo piano part . So very well done . It has been a favorite since 1901 and I'm surprised many famous pianists haven't thought of making playing editions since so many want to hear this music . YOur intelligence and musicality are indelibly present in every bar . Thankyou . Hope I can hear you in other music .perhaps 20th and 21st century composers like Elliott Carter, Bolcolm or Carl Vine . Will definitely subscribe to a channel if I can find one representing you !

Dear Arsha, would it be possible to get or buy the sheet music of your transcription? This is the best. Is there a second and third part?

He plays the role of a whole orchestra

Молодцы какие, и автор, и исполнитель, прям хорошо!

[anosmianAcrimony]

This is great. I wish I could listen to Zimerman play this version - his super exact crystalline playing would lend a lot to it

[earthheaven]

Appears to be this solo version by Girolamo De Simone. You make it look so easy!😊

Гениальное исполнение, самого лучшего концерта Сергея Рахманинова. Слушая этот шедевр проживаешь все эмоции и слезы и душевный польем и тоску и радость всё сливается в одном мощном мущыкальном потоке. Это просто восторг для души. Спасибо ща исполнение. ❤❤❤❤
