Daniil Trifonov & Sergei Babayan: Rachmaninoff’s Suite No 2 for Two Pianos
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- In advance of his Rachmaninoff Festival performances with the New York Philharmonic, pianist extraordinaire Daniil Trifonov heads downtown to The Greene Space for a recital of some of the composer’s more intimate piano repertoire.
Trifonov is so skilled and talented that his book is still new
the way his score was folding gave me anxiety lol
Babayan never loses sight of any detail, and that included thanking his page turner. What a master indeed, in music and in attitude.
Shining Master and Disciple .. They do not ignore any sound on the piano keyboard. Bravo!
Amazing performance and unforgettable memories from 2015 for a great evening !
What a treat to hear this wonderful music played by two outstanding pianists. Thanks so much for posting.
Absolument sublime merci vous deux chers musiciens
wonderful perfomance
beautiful sound & harmony👏👏👏👏👏
amazing connection between the both
Lebhafte Aufführung dieser fein komponierten Suite im rhythmischen Tempo mit perfekt synchronisierten und gut artikulierten Töne zweier Klaviere sowie völlig effektiver Dynamik. Echt atemberaubend!
I love Rach's 2 piano suites. There are many wonderful recordings, but I am partial to my old Vronsky and Babin recording. They played this music for Rachmaninoff himself.
Daniil y su profesor Babayan magníficos bravoooooo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️
Wonderful playing! 👏
It is probably not fair to compared this duo to a version with a duo that had played together for many years. This is a playing that is very exciting and very interesting. It is a pleasure to watch any version of Rachmaninoff.Trifonov in glasses is new for me. A great video i will watch often. Thank You, WQXR
thank you for this wonderful post
absolutely wonderful performance!
The page turner gave me ANXIETY. Nevertheless, great performance.
I have, on rare occasions, seen i pads used. This is a wonderful answer to the problem. Thanks, John.
I love both of you ! 🌹🌹🌹 perfect filming !
This is just fantastic!!
Superb. I especially love the way the sonorities of these two are so distinct. Babayan actually has a more Russian sound than than Russian Trifonov: it is deep and buttery, while Trifonov's is lighter. Closing my eyes, I can tell which one has which part.
Well, they're both Russian really. Babayan was born in Soviet Armenia but trained at the Moscow Conservatory. Babayan trained Trifonov in the US. That said, I do hear Babayan's distinctive sound - in fact I heard Babayan on his first trip to the US in 1989. That classically Russian sound has been there all along.
Makes you wonder if there is "a Russian sound". They both produce exquisite tone, and I love watching them to see how they do it. Babayan's hands are part of the cause for his tone. Big bear paws! I do believe he also is the one who is singing. This is a fine performance!
A truly inspired work. Can't believe Balanchine did not choreographed it!
AMAZING!
Very transcendental experience.
What is with Daniil's page turner... push on the spine of the book so that the pages stage after you flip it. Damn, I feel bad for him.
As a fellow Asian I believe, that this guy is a disgrace for his whole family
He’s also Maestro Babayan’s student, ua-cam.com/video/Rm8yY83zgUw/v-deo.html a wonderful pianist. So stfu.
Wonderfull playing on wonderfull royals. Apploud !
One of my favorites
Second half of the suite is truly very good!!
… and so is the first half.
Magical!
Gee whiz, can't they figure out how to keep the pages from obscuring the music? This is such a great performance. The page turning has to be worked out.
Rach. Composed quite a few 2 piano suites.. I rem. Playing one ...1st movt entitled”Tears”zansolutely exquisite!
I cannot help comparing the Trifonov/Babayan version of the Rachmaninoff with that of Bruk/Taimanov of the Soviet era. Trifonov/Babayan seemingly were sight reading, though marvelously. Bruk/Taimanov, in the 20th century, were true long term duo pianists who had worked out a mutual approach to the Rachmaninoff. Bruk/Taimanov played Suite No 2 while Trifonov/Babayan played Suite No 1. I am commenting only on the finer finish of the older Russian pair.
Damn!!! Impressive.
Perfect
Exellent!
Some have commented on Danill's page turner. I think the problem is caused by the air conditioner in the room. Don't worry about it.
My compliments on the two gorgeous Steinway B's. There is no clangy "B bass" evident anywhere, and they both sing beautifully. Of course, the pianists have a lot to do with it as well! Okay, a slight revision is in store. The Tarantella would do better on D's.
the a flat is so romantic, fantasy-like
It is reported that Rachmaninoff and Horowitz were at a small party in Los Angeles in 1940 and impromptu performed this piece.
Can you imagine?

Never knew they were student and teacher!
Oh those terrible piano pages that keep on turning back, they are my constant annoyance as well as poor Trifonov's. They should have "cracked" the score backward before starting. A prep job for the page turner really. Given this handicap Trifonov does a good job in what might be an "a vue" performance.
I learned a great trick for getting scores to stay open: when you first get them, stand them straight up on the spine and lay down one page at both the front and back, then kind of "massage" those pages in the middle where they meet the spine. Then lay down another page on both sides, and repeat the process until you eventually meet in the middle. The score will then just lay flat forever.

Babayan has hard back book, but trifonov paperback 🙁
Professor and his old student, perhaps now better than the teacher..
pls just hold the books spine

Trifonov's sheet music was conspiring against him
my Russian icons
Ребята, да не кривляйтесь вы так за роялем. Не делайте из Рахманинова лакомый кусочек. Здесь музыка совсем о другом. А подергивание плечиками создает местечковый колорит. Хотя, может это и подрозумевалось...
Daniil's page turner is evidently useless. I get so upset watching the page turner flounder that I cannot continue watching. Even a paper clip would solve the problem-----PLEASE!
I agree with you. It is a sad day when a page turner is useless, and you know you could do well without. A knowledgeable page turner will absolutely mutilate the spine of the music before going out on stage, rather than let than happen.
He might not be so good at turning pages, but he can play the damn instrument ua-cam.com/video/Rm8yY83zgUw/v-deo.html
스프링 제본의 중요성...ㅎ
...ak je toto vrcholové umenie, tak potom radšej robiť šport (napr. ľahkú atletiku :)
I performed this at music college. My teacher said it sounded like a race! We did not, however, play as fast as these two. I think this was a little frenetic in the first, second and last movements, although there was considerable control and good duo playing on the whole. It would have sounded better with two full-sized pianos. Trifonov has the annoying habit of tailing off the lyrical phrases at the ends, causing too much weakening of the tone for my liking.
Most phrases naturally tail off and what do you mean "two full sized pianos" These are atleast Steinway B's.
@@trblcleft Whatever!
Vietnam 🌶🌶
Nikolai lugansky &rudenko better than babayan,daniel
Даниил оставил Вашего Луганского далеко позади и при этом уже лет 10 назад.
Trifonov is a hyper rabbit as usual here ... no style or sense or time. Don't know why Babayan strings him along. Chill out
Trifonov is probably one of the best pianists in the world (not just my opinion) and you say he has no style, clearly you don't know what good style is
