I love Lang Lang‘s interpretation.

Lang Lang’s playing takes me to a higher place. A beautiful place where only music exists. There is so much feeling in every note. Brilliant in every way.

It's nothing but breathtaking. Lang Lang, this orchestra, the conductor Mr. Rattle. I'm 26 and love Rachmaninoff since I could discover this incredible heritage by the movie 'Shine'. I was 21 back then and went to Sofia, Bulgaria, to live and work there in social work. 2016/17 was a special snowy and freezing cold winter. You can't imagine the feeling of listening to THIS and walking through the snowy pavements of Sofia, which can be very nostalgic and romantic on evenings. The architecture, the language, the evening restaurants, the huge boulevards. In other ocasions, such as during daytime, Sofia reminds one of much uglier realities of poverty, poor economy, abused surroundings and untreated pavements. But those can be found in every city, if searched. Yet I want to highlight the addictive experience of bulgarian style.

This is a wonderful Piano Concerto by the great Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) who had to leave his beloved Russia behind after the upheaval of the Revolution of 1917. All his music is so soulful, full of the Russian spirit. I also love his orchestral works and pieces such as the Midnight Vespers. One of my favourite composers and I think there are a few recordings of the great man himself recorded towards the end of his 70 year life. Lang Lang plays this beautifully I think, he really gets it. It is not a schmalzy performance at all. Thanks for posting this gem for us all to enjoy.

Earlier, when I listened to Rachmaninoff's second concert, I was terribly angry that some of the audience coughed in the pauses. Only then did I realize that it was they who were struggling to hold back their tears and stifle their sobs. And it's not that the music is minor or depressive. On the contrary, it is like a May storm, cleanses the soul and causes tears of joy and delight.

I have heard many different pianists play this. This is the best.

Brilliant, magnificent, majestic - notwithstanding. In a few lone notes, Lang Lang can take us to the edge of the vast unknown beyond existence, in a realm of awe, beauty and humility.

That circle of fifths progression in the third movement at 30:24, I'd never heard anyone play the melody with octaves in the right hand like he did until that moment and it's one of the most beautiful sounds that has ever graced my ears.

he is wonderful

The most soulful version of Rachmaninov concert No.2

His style fits so well to this piece

Written sometime between 1900 and 1901, now being 2022, means this was written about 122 years ago. Yet sounds fresh .

To elizabethmaemmann: You're smitten, to put it mildly, with this well-played (and VERY thoroughly acted out) performance, but do you have any idea, any idea at ALL, how many (perhaps close to a hundred) superb interpretations of this popular concerto have been offered to the public? Lang's performance being described as 'one of its kind' - - well, I'm not sure how to respond to such a remark, except to say that his wide selection of embarrassing 'faces' and physical 'gestures' can definitely deserve to be called 'one of a kind.' I would earnestly hope that after Lang's light begins to dim (and it will!), another such flamboyant, audience-obsessed pianist won't appear from the holy clouds above.

It’s unbelievable, genius!
