Making Rachmaninoff Look Easy



My word...I don't think I closed my mouth through this entire performance.

Rachmaninoff can often sound choppy and unlovely, presumably because it's so difficult to play. But this girl is astounding. Preternatural.

By the way, if you keep hearing something you can't quite place during the second movement, it's "All by Myself". The guy who wrote it ended up having to pay the Rachmaninoff estate part of his royalties.
