Sergei Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, Adagio. Yuja Wang Breathtaking...
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MELODY EVER WRITTEN. A world stops, time slows down, and every note is a whisper of deep emotion. Immergiti nell'Adagio di Rachmaninoff.
This video is dedicated to the exquisite Second Movement (Adagio sostenuto) from Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18. This movement is revered as one of the most sublime and romantic pieces in all of classical music.
We feature the stunning interpretation by world-renowned pianist Yuja Wang, known for her combination of technical brilliance and profound emotional depth. The Adagio sostenuto is famous for its:
Pensive Piano Opening: The gentle arpeggios that create a feeling of floating and reflection.
Haunting Flute & Clarinet Dialogue: The beautiful interchange between the solo winds and the piano.
Soaring Main Melody: The central theme, often cited as the pinnacle of Romantic melody, carrying a deep sense of longing and hope.
This piece is more than just a piano concerto movement; it's the soundtrack to heartbreak and reconciliation, famously used in films like Brief Encounter. Experience the magic of Rachmaninov (Rachmaninoff) at his most lyrical, brought to life by the unparalleled artistry of Yuja Wang and the orchestra.
DEEP PURPLE & ORCHESTRA For the very first time the entire "Concerto"...
Unfortunately, the original “Concerto for Group and Orchestra by Jon Lord” has been released both cut and sometimes horribly asynchronously.
Not even the death of the Maestro has been used as an opportunity to release a remastered version of this legendary master piece.
To be honest: that´s a shame!
It took me a pretty long time to equalize the slightly different speeds of CD and DVD, to find suitable scenes to fill especially the missing parts of Movement I (almost 4´18´´) and Movement III (almost 2´43´´) and then finally to put it all together synchronously as far as possible. Due to the fact that for most of Ian Paice´s drum solo in Movement III there is no video material yet I decided to use stills instead of editing.
So, and as far as I know, for the very first time here is the entire “Concerto” on video.
I hope you enjoy it like I do.
And of course I still hope for a speedy and professionally remastered official release on BD!
