Listening to Rachmaninov makes you think about how the world could be, how the world should be and how the world is not..

I cannot understand why this concerto is not more popular. It's wonderful.

and remember that Rachmaninov wrote this piece when he was 18

I was at this concert. Absolutely breathtaking. Also got to meet Anna at the end of it. An all-round humble and kind person. My favorite pianist!

Anna Fedorova plays Rachmaninoff so beautifully.

@eliaschmidt9035 6 years ago

That second movement is just incredible. I think it's one of Rachmaninoff's most underrated pieces - not played very often unfortunately. They all want to hear No.2 and 3...

This is a thousand times better than my psychiatric medication 💊🥰

19:05 - 21:20, Rachmaninoff has devised one of the most beautiful harmonizations in recorded music IMO. Stunning. He said ideas flew in and out of his head in 15 minute fits of creativity. This section has to reflect the most important 15 minutes of his life.

Hearing Rachmaninoff is a musical eargasm

God save Anna Fedorova! There are few as talented, as beautiful, and as humble as she.

I am a 61 year old who retook piano lessons just in the past year. When I was a child, I had to give them up because of family moves and situations. So even though I'm at an advanced beginner level, and probably too old to ever become a virtuoso, Anna inspires and amazes me.

Lorsque l'on possède le talent, le génie musical et cette beauté, on ne peut s'appeler qu' Anna Fedorova. Merci et longue vie à toi Anna...

To think that Rachmaninoff composed this masterpiece when he was only between 17-18!!?? Insane!

@gohargevorgyan164 3 years ago

This is my favorite concerto and the best performance I've ever heard. Both orchestra and Anna are perfect. The best part is that she's not trying to show her technique by playing faster and ruining the Andante as the majority of performers do. Very beautifully played.

Fedorova is in total control of this piece from the first note to the last. Wonderfully accompanied by an extremely slick orchestra. This is a performance to savour.
