Classically Speaking

Classical music in West Virginia and Beyond

Rachmaninoff plays Rachmaninoff

Being passionate about classical music and composers and about the piano specifically, I felt compelled to share this link with everyone.  On YouTube, I have found actual recordings of Sergei Rachmaninoff.  I almost hesitated believing it, but I trust the honesty of YouTubers! 

This blog is dedicated to those lovers of classical music who, like me, have asked the question:  What might this piece have sounded like in the hands of the master who wrote it?? 

Here, apparently is the answer for Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto no. 3.  Kudos to user theoshow2 for posting this music! 


I have only recently become acquainted with the music of Rachmaninoff, who I feel is slightly underrated, but what a veritable treasure that his original music exists in recordings for all to hear!! 


Look for a response to tonight’s WVSO performance of the 3 B’s at the Clay Center next week!  I look forward to seeing some of my favorite music tonight in that great venue!  Keep listening all!
