Rachmaninoff “Vocalise”: Cello & Piano vs Soprano & Piano | Lugansky, Capuçon - Peretyatko, Nebolsin

Details

Description

A captivating blend of two interpretations of Rachmaninoff’s “Vocalise” Op. 34 No. 14, showcasing the diverse emotional depth of this timeless piece. The first performance, recorded in September 2020, features cellist Gautier Capuçon and pianist Nikolai Lugansky, delivering a rich, instrumental take with a deep, melancholic resonance. Their cello-piano rendition evokes a somber, introspective mood, where the cello’s voice conveys Rachmaninoff’s haunting beauty.

In contrast, the second performance (January 20, 2023) by soprano Olga Peretyatko and pianist Pavel Nebolsin brings an ethereal, vocal quality to the composition. Peretyatko’s soaring soprano, paired with Nebolsin’s delicate accompaniment, adds a layer of human vulnerability and passion, highlighting the piece’s lyricism.

Together, these performances demonstrate how the same composition can evoke varied emotional landscapes—one introspective and instrumental, the other deeply expressive.
