Nikolai Lugansky plays Rachmaninoff Études-tableaux, op. 33 – live 2003

Happy 150th Birthday to Sergei Rachmaninoff. How many lives has he changed for the better? It was through him that I met the most important person in my life, and it seems like of all the Russian composers people turn to him first when sincere emotion is needed. ’The only thing I try to do when I compose is to make it directly and simply express what is in my heart.’ - SR This is Nikolai Lugansky playing the full op. 33 set of etudes in 2003. 00:00 - 1 02:54 - 2 05:08 - 3 10:14 - 4 13:25 - 5 14:54 - 6 16:39 - 7 20:06 - 8
