Variation 18 of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini composed in 1934. Rachmaninoff said of this piece: "This one, is for my agent." as he sensed it would become a commercial hit. It's composed by playing upside down the original melody from Paganini. The original is like a piano concerto (solo piano vs orchestra) and I'm trying to do it on a single keyboard with sampled sounds.

The theme was used in the movie Somewhere in Time in 1980 starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano and sampled orchestra strings.

Transcription for solo piano by Hermene W. Eichhorn. Re-uploaded with new take on Jan 26, 2014.

Liebesträume : dREAM About Love - Franz Liszt Solo Piano by @airinaditya

01 Bach  Cantata #82, BWV 82,  Ich Habe Genug  - 1. Aria  Ich Habe Genug

Over the years, the international press referred to him with an impossible blend of titles. A "Jaw-dropping" "Demonical" "exception-cellist", “Maverick” and "Iconoclastic Thinker", a "Rockstar of the cello" and a "nano-musician" are only a few examples.

Indeed, on the one hand Lipkind treats the moist subtle nuances in every note with infinite love and quiet attention forcing the listener to differentiate and participate in the re-creation of the piece. On the other hand his carefully designed interpretation is often performed with the “unbridled panache of a rock artist” [Irish Times].
