It’s funny how people are saying “wrong tempo” or criticize the playing, when the person playing is the one who composed the piece. It’s a funny world eh?😭😭

We are indeed privileged to be able to listen to this genius when considering the age of the recording. Thank you. Thank you.

I can feel his energy in this performance. I don't think it's played too fast. He was in complete control the entire time. Outstanding

Great to hear the maestro playing his own work! If only we had recordings of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin.. playing their own works. Perhaps someday we will have a time machine.

We live in an age where we can listen to a master performing his works completely free of charge AND from the comfort of our homes. This recording must be cherished. I can't imagine what it would be like seeing him play LIVE at a concert, but this video brings me closer to that dream at least. Such beautiful sounds!

People are saying that it's too fast, it's just his way of interpreting this piece after playing it so often. Now I don't think everyone has to play it at this tempo, I think that's kind of the decision of the pianist playing it.

Sounds so different than how it's played now. And it's quite a recent composer. Imagine going back two or three centuries... The pieces that old would sound and feel utterly different back then. Wow. I fcking love music.

Not only did he give me intense chills, but my hand was slowly shaking as I was following the notes on my paper... absolutely incredible, I'm speechless...

I can only hope to become a pianist of his level one day

Rachmaninoff was a personal friend of my grandfather, and my mother recalled sitting on his lap on one occasion when she was 5 years old.

Such power… I can hear the incredible strength with which he plays and yet, at the same time, a certain ease in his playing as well
