Rachmaninoff: Etude-Tableaux Op.33 No.2 in C major (Lugansky)

From Lugansky's extraordinary (if not too well-known) disc. The way he handles the pianistic filigree in this is pretty wonderful, and the scrupulous dynamic control is also impressive.

I’ll start with this; I am a classical Clarinetist who has only dabbled in the basics of piano. (no real repertoire) This peice is one of my favorite pieces ever written and by far my favorite piece of piano repertoire. The delicate balance of the fluttering left and the expressive right hand is just a phenomenal concept. Despite being in C major it still conveys a wonderful sense of mystery and intrigue. Fantastic❤

Yes- of course this piece is C major, but I don't know why it feels so deep, dreamlike and mystical,
Rachmaninoff. oh my goodness. he's a genius!

I also love the Horowitz interpretation. Lugansky is too good for his generation. The true heir of the Russian greats. and he keeps confirming it and convincing me.

Seems Rachmaninoff still had the Prelude in g-sharp minor on his mind when he wrote this. The opening wavering 4's and 5's are unmistakable, the RH tune is nearly directly out of the middle part of the prelude and the ending with those wavering 4's and 5's keeping drawing the listener back to the prelude's close. Wonderful piece.

How the heck do you play this at that tempo

Nice! Reminds me of the Prelude Op.32 No.12 in G sharp minor.

Love Lugansky but I have to agree that the tempo is just too fast. Sure it can be done but should it be? He has never been a member of the Speed School and I believe the writing And mood dictate a slower tempo - not languid but something more...lush. Learning this was a joy with all those beautiful inner melodies and rhythms.

Sorry for being stupid, but I have a Henle Verlag urtext copy of this piece that's clearly marked "allegro" with a time signature of 12/8 - so that's 140 eighth notes per minute (standard "techno" speed). So why is this being played twice as fast i.e. 140 crotchets per minute?

Howard Shelley is the best performer of Rachmaninov's Etudes.
