The challenging third concerto by Sergei Rachmaninoff has long been recognized as one of the most challenging works in the piano repertoire
There is a moment in the 1996 film “Shine” when a piano teacher describes Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto as a “mountain.” While the piece may not be, as young Helfgott puns, “the hardest piece you could everest play,” it’s close.
Part of the magic of this work is its dual nature as a rhapsodic, virtuoso improvisation that yet manages to adhere to a sensible, perceptible structural layout. Rachmaninoff’s knack for varying melodies over the course of the concerto allows the soloist to appear as a master improvisor, while tethering the thrilling technical difficulty of the piece to a clear architecture ... provided, of course, the soloist understands the piece as well as Ohlsson does.
Aspects of “Onwards” recall multiple other music — one hears Zappa lurking in the distance — all of them having been carefully studied and integrated into Nabors’ own stylistic language.
