This is one of my all-time Piano Pieces!

I think this young lady does a nice job, although she is a bit histrionic at times...but hey...it's Rachmaninoff!

And, there's Olga Kern playing The Third.....

Doesn’t one need THREE hands for that one? LOL!

I am going to check out all the links on this thread. It might take all night, but I will do it! :-)

She played that gorgeous piece so strong and beautiful. Thank you!

My Pleasure!

Have a Blessed Easter! :-)

[Publius]

The piece ends in that racist key, C Major.

Bwahahahahahaha!

Where’s that gif of the little kid saying, “That’s Raciss!”?

RIP, Keith. (sigh)

Indeed...her dynamics are very dramatic

I noticed that from the get-go.

In 1946, Freddy Martin and Frank Sinatra scored with "pop" versions of this piece.

I have several recordings of this piece, and I noticed the dynamics right away, too.

And then, of course, there was Eric Carmen and Celine Dion with “All By Myself”, lifted from the sublime second movement.

Excellent.

Another favorite of mine:

Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 (Olga Kern)

Thanks for the post. Also one of my very very faves. First heard it on vinyl at the in-laws place about 1971. The 10:09 mark is sublime. But my o my that gal has rather stocky fingers for a classical pianist.

Indeed...the third by Olga Kern is sublime! :-)

She does...but she makes it happen.

I have tiny hands and play bass. It’s really weird because i have to jump around to hit some of the intervals.

[CARTOUCHE]

Played Viola in Jr. High cuz the music teacher said I was more suited to the larger instrument. Little did he know.

“The Rock” or probably “The Rach” - yeah, they say three hands help, or maybe just don’t play all the notes when there get to be too many.....
