"[…] Chronologically the Third Piano Concerto belongs to the period described in Russia as the Silver Age. However, as a counterbalance to the centrifugal tendencies of this artistic period, the main creative thrust in Rachmaninov’s work is centripetal and the centre is in fact the Russian person, with all the spiritual and emotional attributes and intrinsic elements of that symbolic person. In the Third Piano Concerto, national traits are enveloped in a European virtuoso style but this style is interpreted in a more Russian way which is particularly effective. When we combine this with the deep personal nature of his musical expression, we can see that this work reflects not simply the power of the Russian style but also the lyricism of personal emotion. “

Saw him perform Rach 3 a couple weeks ago, the crowd went absolutely mental with the finale. We gave him a standing ovation, and he came out for 2 encores after that. One of the best experiences of my life.

Today I had the privilege to attend to a concert by Lugansky playing this very concerto by Rachmaninoff in Naples at the San Carlo theater. Now I have seen many concerts by great artists but the concert by Lugansky will remain impressed in my memory for the rest of my life. He is not only a sublime pianist but also a wonderful human being ! ❤

As close to perfection as a human can get. Love that he did the original cadenza.

Lugansky is undoubtedly the greatest current interpreter of Rachmaninov. He plays this concerto a lot and always beautifully well. But here he is so much more generous, free and sincere. I think that the conductor in concertos is so important that the performance masterpiece can reach its highest point.

Исполнение Николаем Луганским " жемчужины" русской музыки - 3-го концерта С. В. Рахманинова, - выдержано в лучших традициях русской исполнительской фортепианной школы и раскрывает всю полноту, красоту и драматизм русской души! БРАВО!

Une superbe interprétation de cet immense artiste . Un jeu très limpide avec une articulation phénoménale . Un avis de simple mélomane . Un énorme travail en amont évidemment ! Mille bravos à vous, Nikolai !!! On se demande comment une telle prestation est possible de la part d'un humain, vraiment ...

I've heard so many pianists performing the Rach 3. Lugansky's playing is so clean & crystalline, that many more of the nuances of this magnificent piece are exposed. Just beautiful!!

After listening to many others, I must concur with my colleagues, Lugansky performs Rachmaninov with greater facility than I have heard in any other performer.

Wow, he is very exact in his approach to the notes. Every chord sounds like he is hitting the keys in the middle. Outstanding

Hmmm... every time I listen to Rach 3 I feel like I need to listen to more Rach 3. Can anyone explain?

Truly a magnificent performance. Lugansky brings both warmth and precision, understanding and refinement, a true aristocrat of the keyboard.

I’ve watched hundreds of amazing pianists play this piece and I have to say, this performance is the closest to perfection I’ve experienced. Amazing job during the intermezzo portion.. absolutely beautiful. Thank you.

I'd love to sit down and talk with Lugansky about music and know what is going on inside of his mind. He is on a different level.
