I released part 2 of the most epic moments, if you are interested, you can watch it on my channel .

[yopiano]

Every piece by Rachmaninoff was very Epic

[Maffchops]

Tell you what, I'm genuinely kind of surprised this isn't several hours long

[kondsiccMusic]

Rachmaninoff is a genius composer, literally all pieces he wrote were epic.

[LTD-Limited]

I’m glad his first piano concerto is getting some love, learning it right now and it is a thrilling piece!

[alexanderpower]

Etude Tableaux no 5 is for sure the most epic music I have ever heard

[christianvennemann]

5:48 will forever be my favorite moment in all of Rachmaninoff's preludes ❤️🥲

1:51 I was listening to this while chasing the last piece of cereal around my cereal bowl with my spoon (everyone knows the struggle). It made the perfect soundtrack.

I’m glad there’s so much Lugansky. He’s by far the best interpreter of Rachmaninov alive rn.

[igorkazagrandi]

I was just about to say that -re The Third Concerto’s!

[joyfulfishman]

Thank you so much for sharing this, I love Rachmaninov and all of this music so much!

[chaikhaneh]

i love the vid but it's a shame his first piano sonata didn't make it onto your list :(

[alanleoneldavid]

Prelude op 32 no 13 should be on this list

[CableGuyPiano]

I love that you wrapped that up with Bm. Absolutely my favorite Rach piece.

[m-ogfq]

I'm still addicted to watching this video in 2024

[PiotrstrashcanŚmietnikPiotra]

All his pieces are epic! But his 2nd sonata is a beast!

[lcmurillo]

This video is amazing, I also love the fact that he didn’t choose “the most popular pieces”

[liordavidov]

Some etude tableaux have very epic moments

[Haycar]

Love them all! I would have loved Rach 2 up there as well

[monx]

great selections. nothing like him before or since
