His face rresponds with the emotion as he is so so so into the music he completely expresses itself and allows...nay invites and challenges his body to enter the task.
At this recording he is 20 years old. His understanding of the music is astonishing. He not only plays the score, he lives it as well. He gives me great hope for the future. Bravo Daniil!!
No me canso de ver esta rapsodia dirigida por Zubin Mehta con este prodígio de la naturaleza , Daniil Trifonov al piano. Su apasionamiento arrastra a toda la orquesta. No puedo adjetivar su actuación, porque no tengo palabras.
Mi ha fatto venire la pelle d'oca! Daniil Trifonov raggiunge una sublimità che va al di sopra di ogni emozione terrena e fa percepire l'eternità dell'arte pianistica in un empireo paradisiaco indescrivibile con le parole perché nessuna parola possiede la semantica dell'arte di Daniil Trifonov!
I had the extraordinary privilege of hearing him play in person, in the concert he gave in Santiago, Chile, two months ago. It was an indescribable experience.
No hay palabras para expresar el contenido musical, me faltan calificativos es sobrenatural. Creo que los compositores estaran orgullosos de ver a Daniel interpretando su musica con tanta alma. Para mi es brutal. Gracias por venir a nuestro planeta❤❤

Rachmaninoff , estaría orgulloso y satisfecho de cómo interpreta sus Obras . Es Magnifico , quedo Maravillada y ya no encuentro palabras para describir lo bien que toca. Bravoooo!! 👏👏👏👏 🎹🎼🎶💖😀 Felicitaciones ...desde México .💖😐🌸🌼🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌺🌹🌸🌈🌺
He's so absolutely in control of every single note, phrase, accent and dynamic and his concept of the work as a whole is sublimely satisfying - and he was only 20 years old at the time ! I'm in awe of Daniil Trifonov's musicianship : for me he surpasses all others (and that is not to devalue all others in any sense). Add to that this world class orchestra conducted by the great Zubin Mehta and you have the recipe for a magnificent performance of Rachmaninoff's masterpiece - which is just what we got ! Thank you for posting it.
I realize Mehta is a skilled musician. I happened to work under him when we were both in our 40's and was treated as such, so I am left with that impression rather than his musicianship, which is extraordinary. Daniil on the other hand is the consumate musician---a genius talent and a humble human being--God bless him!
+Gloria Masters En 2011, Trifonov ganó el Primer Premio en el 13.º Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition en Tel Aviv, ganando también el Premio Pnina Salzman por la mejor interpretación de una pieza de Chopin, así como el premio por la mejor interpretación de música de cámara y el premio como el favorito del público.4Unas cuantas semanas después de haber ganado en la Rubinstein Competition, Trifonov fue galardonado con el Primer Premio, Medalla de Oro, y Grand Prix en la XIV edición del Concurso Internacional Chaikovski en Moscú. Trifonov también ganó el Premio de la Audiencia y el Premio para la mejor interpretación de un concierto de cámara
Daniil does not make music...he IS music. Love it. Pure musicality! What a joy. Can't wait to see/hear him live. Will be THE pianist of this century for sure. Bravo!!!
True pianistic genius at work. He sings through his fingers! Makes you weep like a baby. His face mimes every notation as pure emotion, it's like a banquet of melody.
I know everyone has their favorites, and it's impossible to assign a "best" tag to any artist, but after 50 years of listening to hundreds of the world's greatest pianists, I think that in terms of the combination of technical ability and artistry Daniil Trifonov might be my choice for best I've ever heard. Just an opinion.
When I was 18 and new at college, I bought a Webcor portable phonograph, bought Rachmaninov plays Rachmaninov, listened, over and over and often cried myself to sleep over this composition. I have no hesitation now at age 85, in saying that Daniil Trifonov beats the composer himself on playing this. And his version of Rach 3 is to die for, too. Just glad I have lived this long! Thank you, Mr T!
Rachmaninov, de tout là haut, doit être heureux de savoir combien, encore et toujours, il continuera d'apporter tant de bonheur à ceux qui comme Trifonov savent se libérer des pesanteurs terrestres...
Here I am again to praise this performance. I have deliberately made a point of listening to many other interpretations of this work and I can speak with certainty that this is the absolute best of all. Congrats to all!
Dos años después vuelvo a ver/oir este video y pienso igual. Pero el tifonov de hoy, 12 años más grande que en esta grabación, más "maduro" tiene una postura y una interpretación más "reflexiva". En definitiva, es un brillante pianista con gran futuro
Mr. Trifonov's phrasing is perfection. Also, in certain places when a phrase is repeated consecutively, he treats the second iteration as an echo (example: 1:16). I love that. Also, where appropriate, he allows his instrument to become part of the orchestra, not the soloist trying to overpower the orchestra (the famous variation 18, for example, 15:26). Wonderful performance.
+Lynn Hamilton This work is my favorite of Rachmaninoff and I have never before seen a pianist play with such heart, soul and enthusiasm. It is as if Daniil is having an affair with the piano, and I mean that in a most respectful manner. this young man is truly an artist of extraordinary talent.
I've heard it many times too, and I don't know if I'd go that far. But it was very very good, and I'm hard to please with this sort of thing. There are too many pianists who just don't capture the whole spirit of the pieces they play, and this particular piece has a whole lot of spirit to capture. The first time I heard the Rhapsody, it was the Phillipe Entremont recording with Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. That performance is not perfect (if perfection even exists,) but had a certain energy that was infectious. It's still my favorite, but this one is right up there as well.
I was SO lucky to be there, on that magical night. Trifonov was dynamite. He and the orchestra talked to each other, at times shouting, at times whispering, but the discussion didn't cease for a moment, with Zubin Mehta watching over it all. What a night!
I play piano, and I watch the greats to see their technique. The Russian approach to the keyboard is wonderful, it is aggressive and beautiful. Very dynamic.
Daniil's hands are the most beautiful i've ever seen -so powerful yet delicate! He looks like a bisque statue which for me is the "icing on the cake" of his exqusite musicality. I can truly say that both my ears and eyes have experienced heaven at last
Amazing difference between these two men. Mehta, the elder technician, a later day Eugene Ormandy, always competent, knows all the repertoire, done it all, rarely inspired. Knows the job. Loves conducting. Music? ... not as much. And then there is Trifonov, so young, so passionately delighted and moved by the music he plays, perfect adventurous technique, thrilled at what he is supremely able to do, and the pleasure it gives him and us. You can see how much the orchestra players admire him. He is not jaded like most of them. He is not yet a hack or a money-making note perfect robot. He plays as music like this should be played. Spontaneously, exuberantly. A gift from the Russian gods!
This Paganini theme was used by many composers (Brahms, Liszt...), but only Rachmaninov thought of flipping the main theme (14:30) to get the most beautiful and serene melody of all time! Also, I’m a pianist myself, and Daniil Trifonov is one of my favorite performers. The way he feels music... Listen to him playing other pieces, especially Chopin fantasy-impromptu!
So much depth and personality in his playing. Its austere if you listen very closely. Absolutely mind blowing. Can't get enough. Just play it over and over. Unbelievably enchanting.
oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice to know that some kindred spirits are out there...i feel so alone in my temperament in this mostly vulgar world that it has become...could be that most of the elevated stuff (like this composition and players) are not readily online accessible...
Emotional intensity much? A tear fell from his cheek at 14:49 just as he's leading into Variation 18! And I nearly started crying right along with him. You can see the light catch it as it falls through the darkness. What a metaphor. What an absolutely inspired performance of this great work! But whoever started rolling an empty garbage can down the stairs at 16:59 needs to never be allowed into a theater again.
I’ve kept my eye on his tour dates for a few years now. I’ve come close to being at the right place/right time, and finally last month the stars aligned. He was the guest pianist with Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra and performed Gershwin’s Piano Concert in F Major. He never disappoints.
WOW!!! What a gutsy, fiery, almost savage, mad RUSSIAN performance! I loved it. It's been awhile since I heard a competition contestant whom I thought deserved to win, but, IMO, he certainly did. BRAVO!!!☺
He did deserved to win. He should have won the Chopin competition as well. I do feel he can play with more power and virtuosity though. This kid has a great future. I actually like his Chopin better than his Rachmaninov. He can make the piano sing which is what's needed in Chopin. In Rach 2 and 3, I want more POWER from him in the climaxes.
Just played it again and nothing's changed, it's still the finest performance on record despite the numerous recordings of this great masterwork. The orchestra and the soloist are completely as one in a way that will not be beaten in revealing the inner workings of the piece. Simply magnificent.
It is a good performance. However: Listen to Nikolay Luganski, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Conductor: Sakari Oramo. From my perspective much better.
I couldn't agree more. I was at this performance. The back and forth between Trifonov and the orchestra was seamless. They were talking to each, there's no other way to describe it. It was electrifying.
***** Did you notice how when Maestro Mehta first approached the podium, he appeared to look weary.....or had that "oh here we go again expression" with yet another RACH Rhaps. on Theme of Paganini.....ho-hum? Not to imply this was not rehearsed in advance, but once Daniil started playing...( and btw ) I LOVE this orchestra... filled with "seasoned" musicians.... (observe the expressions of many throughout this piece, especially the female cellist with the white hair at end of performance) ....such exuberant, professional, excellent musicians and yet they as we say here in America: truly "GET IT" and performed as if they too were gifted musicians in their 20's. Zubin is still extraordinary here. I do believe Trifonov's performance brought back the Maestro from his late 70's to his early 40's! And I just LOVE this!
From the opening you could see that Zubin was anything but tired. From the tuck of the shoulder, to the opening of the thumb and index finger as the signal to the person with the triangle. And he's still the best at "stopping the orchestra on a dime"--even live. Note the sequence in the 20:00 - 21:00. Absolutely amazing live performance.
I think Mehta is going to be deaf! Lately his tempos are becoming too slow and also he let the instruments start to play uncorrectely! It should be better if he retires... Regarding Triifonov, he is wonderful piano player; I don't know why, but Rachmaninov played by Russian pianists sounds differently! Amazing, except for his posture, which is extremely ugly to see!
Alec Hammond It’s fun how you tried to outwit me and spite me by using the same phrasing, but the mere fact that you include “romanticism” in the genre name just confirms what I said. So thanks for that!
Cohesiveness, rhythmic propulsion, passion, tenderness. This interpretation is so youthful, yet emotionally speaks like one who has delved deeply into the nuances. His pointed rhythms showcase elements off this piece often ignored. same with the lovely counterpoint in the left hand. Yet with all his brilliance, he willingly allows himself to be ACCOMPANIST to the orchestra when it is THEIR turn. At this age, to be so confident of his place, and so accomplished with dynamics is so rewarding to this lover of Rachmaninoff. Maestro Mehta willingly went along with this young master's insistence on keeping a constant flow of these wonderful variations. The feeling of Concerto, rather than theme and variations was never more apparent to me than this performance. It is so wonderful to know that classical music is in the hands of such sensitive and dynamic talents like Mr Trifinov, and others. A joy from start to finish.
What a wonderful interview, and great insight into this extraordinary young man. These questions, coming from someone "inside" the competition, makes this interview truly relevant. Daniil capsulized his performances beautifully when he said (paraphrasing) "if I give myself to the music, the audience will respond. The music FIRST." One feels he (meaning me") can leave this earth know that this pianist will provide the coming generations with profound and beautiful music making. Thank you, and God bless you, Daniil.
bravaLiz Thanks Liz. Aside from the extraordinary performance, having an interviewer who asks relevant, probing questions makes all the difference. It was clear that Trifinov was comfortable.
Grande , grandissimo Trifonov.!C'è solo da sperare che crescendo non perda questa sua affascinante simbiosi col pianoforte che lo ricambia con la musica migliore che può esprimere .
Well, now there! That was easy! :) A nearly perfect performance from some of the most talented, and disciplined musicians playing together, under the baton of one of the very best conductors. This was just amazing! Thank you for it.
No sheet music. The perfection of those short notes in the call and response portions just crazy! Rachmaninov was such a jazz aficionado and hearing his arrangement with jazz undertones and overtones is incredible.
Amazing! The XV Variation almost sounds like stride piano when the orchestra comes in. The fastest shuffle and played to perfection. Just amazing! He did this in DC a month or so ago. Would have loved to see this live!
On ne s'en lasse pas... On est ici au porte de la perfection artistique. Pour ceux qui écoutent; et pour les interprètes dont on mesure ici la joie que leur apporte ce chef d'oeuvre musical porté si haut par leur travail. Souvent celui d'une vie
I had the great pleasure and surprise of seeing this brilliant young pianist live last night playing Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1, and immediately realized I had to find more from him! What an amazing artist, truly gifted! Thank you for uploading these videos for people to hear and see this brilliant young man.
I love how he can blend in with the rest of the Orchestra but also take off when the performance calls for it. BRAVO!!!! What a virtuoso performance by Daniil Trifonov.
i cannot stop watching him, Maestro Mehta who STILL has it after all of these years, the wonderful Israel Philharmonic, and the piece itself, a masterwork. I was on another site and some "teenagers" kept saying that he "emoted" to the point where they said he looked like a "creepy" ALIEN... from "outer space".... at first, I thought, what stupid comments. Then, I thought about it. They are right. This young man IS indeed OUT OF THIS WORLD! I especially love the andante sections, with winds, french horns, strings,(including the pizzicato) and the subtle artistry displayed by this young man... not just all of the "pyrotechnics"
he's out of this world alright and I LOVE everything about him even his expressions. I could watch him all day and almost have! lol. He's fabulous. Those teenagers are either jealous OR they don't understand how music is an expression of the heart and without the heart the music is just organized noise. I wouldn't change a thing about him.
Simply the most stunning live performance of this work on record. What makes it, is the beautiful orchestral accompaniment to the great pianistic performance. I have just watched it for the sixth time and I am still bowled over by it even though I have heard it played by many other performers.
stunning indeed! The Israel Philharmonic, among the most seasoned and experienced of performers. I love the way Zubin originally comes to the podium (almost yawning...as if... yes...just another boring "gig" hahaha))... then.. "the kid" goes wild ...AND mild with sensitivity.. The orchestra is so exuberant! By the end of this.... ALL are electrified... I am speaking not of only the audience. Check out on You Tube the following: Trifonov-Sergei Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 3. I HAVE heard him do this better. Parts at the beginning movement are a bit careless... other parts are sublime! It is among THE best Rach 3's I've ever seen and heard...L-I-V-E... and he performs this with a bunch of "kids" (but hey...he's a kid here too) who IDOLIZE him. There IS a section (somewhere into 8 minutes of the piece) where the Conductor "almost" loses the orchestra... but Daniil plays on with aplumb and it all comes together. NOT MY post... but I guarantee you will enjoy. Alles Gute!! :-) ...et vive la musique!
bravaLiz Having just watched it again, I am still amazed at the orchestral ensemble playing by the orchestra. Mehta brings out all the bravura and mystery of this work just as it is mirrored on the face of Trifonov in his spectacular performance. All the dynamics are maintained and the coordination of orchestra and soloist is seamless. I would rate it among the ten best performances of any work that I have ever heard or seen.
Martin Padderborn you are officially "excused"....:-) bwahahaha.... Ain't GREAT Music and Artistry....wonderful? Don't know how I'd go on in this sometimes nasty world.... without the beauty of the likes of this. Was/AM "I" being overly superfluous or too verbose? and.....do I care? Savor the good. There is so much out there!! A plethora of talent to remind us that we are blessed. Take Care.
This looks to be professionally videotaped yet I've never seen a pro cameraman pan like he does at 5:15 and elsewhere. Makes it look like the video was shot by an amateur in the audience using his phonecam. Interesting. That aside, I've added Trifonov's performance to Mikhail Pletnev's w/ Abbado as the two best Rhapsodies here on UA-cam. There are others in b&w such as Rubinstein's and Janis that are stupendous but they are either fragmented or the sound quality is not optimum because of obsolete sound systems. Go with these, IMHO. __J Joe (also a composer of a Piano Concerto No 2 in c Minor) Ooops they pulled the complete Pletnev/Abbado off UA-cam. So sad. Guess that leaves only the Trifonov, which is not a bad thing, but the Pletnev will be missed.
Vraiment prodigieux ce jeune pianiste qui fait visiblement du piano et de la musique ses deux cadeaux favoris! Il est épatant dans son style inimitable. On dirait qu’il est possédé par la musique qu’il traduit pour notre jouissance. Tout cela se traduit à l’évidence par l’expression de tout son corps, en particulier par ses doigts d’une étonnante agilité et par les diverses expressions de son visage.
After a long period of time, I have just watched this again and I still say this is possibly the finest performance of this work, not only recorded, but ever played. In every sense it's the definitive rendition of this work.
-- Une performance hors du commun. Daniil Trifonov fait jaillir la musique comme personne. Ce garçon n'est que musique, et c'est un plaisir immense que de l'entendre jouer. --
The AMAZING Mehta. Did GREAT things in NY with the Phil. Absolutely DANCED through this performance! All of it due to the vibrant performance by this young pianist. I was not familiar with him prior to viewing this performance. That was my fault. I am now aware of his existence and will continue to follow his career. Excellent work!
FANTASTICO-PIANISTA-CONDUCTOR Y ORQUESTA UNA ARMONIA PERFECTA Y UN DELEITE VOLVER Y VOLVER A ESCUCHARLO-POR SUPUESTO LA COMPOSICION DE RACHMANINOV ES ESPELUZNANTE Y GENIAL
I'm hearing things I've never heard before... Thank you Daniil. You have an extraordinary gift! And I mean exta-ordinary. Something of the Divine breathing new life upon the vert moment. What a gift you are. Keep growing. You'll only get better at it.
Heard him in Rach 4 twice last week in England, two days in a row. To die for. This man is an utter genius. Can't wait for the CD to come out - seems only late next year unfortunately.
‘It’ - Rachmaninov, Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini ‘It’ hurts, summoning demons from his heart deep within Then ‘it’ flirts as if saving his soul from all sin Ceremonial highs, which absorb him completely Contortions arise yet each finger falls so sweetly Syncopation transcends and the hand comes to rest Each phenomenal note leaving each key caressed. Extraordinary… He lives through ‘it’, as ‘it’ lives through him A performance so powerful it could tear limb from limb But with the touch of an ethereal to enchant and delight Before leaving us beaming off into the night. Philharmonic and Mehta both played their part, But in rhapsody it is clear that Trifonov… gave to ‘it’ his heart. Marvellously performance - simply splendid! “Bravo” never meant so much!
Trifonov has everything, unbelievable talent, humility, inexaustible energy, spirit and gentleness. He is just getting started. Watch him and see the rise of the greatest talent of the twenty first century.

Amazing difference between these two men. Mehta, the elder technician, a later day Eugene Ormandy, always competent, knows all the repertoire, done it all, rarely inspired. Knows the job. Loves conducting. Music? ... not as much. And then there is Trifonov, so young, so passionately delighted and moved by the music he plays, perfect adventurous technique, thrilled at what he is supremely able to do, and the pleasure it gives him and us. You can see how much the orchestra players admire him. He is not jaded like most of them. He is not yet a hack or a money-making note perfect robot. He plays as music like this should be played. Spontaneously, exuberantly. A gift from the Russian gods!
🌏 l believe he possesses 🕊 Humility which allows the spontaneity between the orchestra and him.
Und heute im Jahr 2024, stimmt Ihr schöner und Treffender Kommentar immer noch ! ♥️
This Paganini theme was used by many composers (Brahms, Liszt...), but only Rachmaninov thought of flipping the main theme (14:30) to get the most beautiful and serene melody of all time!
Also, I’m a pianist myself, and Daniil Trifonov is one of my favorite performers. The way he feels music...
Listen to him playing other pieces, especially Chopin fantasy-impromptu!
the Liszt Transcendental Etudes!
The 18th variation I believe.
I love how he doesn't get showy and egotistical with the FI by Chop. Its very instinctual and the notes are all placed just so...
Stunning performance. Surprisingly a competition winner out of those boring safe ones. I thank the juries for choosing him.
So much depth and personality in his playing. Its austere if you listen very closely.
Absolutely mind blowing. Can't get enough. Just play it over and over. Unbelievably
enchanting.
oh yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice to know that some kindred spirits are out there...i feel so alone in my temperament in this mostly vulgar world that it has become...could be that most of the elevated stuff (like this composition and players) are not readily online accessible...
É O maior e melhor pianista posso dizer do mundo pelo menos até p momento
Muito jovem ainda
MARAVILHOSO
Emotional intensity much? A tear fell from his cheek at 14:49 just as he's leading into Variation 18! And I nearly started crying right along with him. You can see the light catch it as it falls through the darkness. What a metaphor. What an absolutely inspired performance of this great work! But whoever started rolling an empty garbage can down the stairs at 16:59 needs to never be allowed into a theater again.
Most articulate and heartfelt interpretation I have ever heard.
I was left speechless…
I’ve kept my eye on his tour dates for a few years now. I’ve come close to being at the right place/right time, and finally last month the stars aligned. He was the guest pianist with Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra and performed Gershwin’s Piano Concert in F Major. He never disappoints.
Toca mi corazón y mi Alma 🎹⭐️💜
WOW!!! What a gutsy, fiery, almost savage, mad RUSSIAN performance! I loved it.
It's been awhile since I heard a competition contestant whom I thought deserved to win, but, IMO, he certainly did.
BRAVO!!!☺
PS: I almost forgot--it was also very musical. And that goes for his competition performances as well.☺
He did deserved to win. He should have won the Chopin competition as well. I do feel he can play with more power and virtuosity though. This kid has a great future. I actually like his Chopin better than his Rachmaninov. He can make the piano sing which is what's needed in Chopin. In Rach 2 and 3, I want more POWER from him in the climaxes.
Truly Magnificent and Magical
So many stunning jazz influences (this was written in 1934). Superb performance by the pianist and the orchestra and Maestro Mehta.
Just played it again and nothing's changed, it's still the finest performance on record despite the numerous recordings of this great masterwork. The orchestra and the soloist are completely as one in a way that will not be beaten in revealing the inner workings of the piece. Simply magnificent.
It is a good performance. However: Listen to Nikolay Luganski, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Conductor: Sakari Oramo. From my perspective much better.
The build up is just indescribable! Maybe somebody can, but I get so emotionally involved I can cry.
Same here !!!! I can feel my skin swell. Genius !!! composer and genius interpreter.
I couldn't agree more. I was at this performance. The back and forth between Trifonov and the orchestra was seamless. They were talking to each, there's no other way to describe it. It was electrifying.
The conductor Zubin Mehta is now 80 years old , is very healthy and celebrates 50 years of music !!!!!!
***** Did you notice how when Maestro Mehta first approached the podium, he appeared to look weary.....or had that "oh here we go again expression" with yet another RACH Rhaps. on Theme of Paganini.....ho-hum?
Not to imply this was not rehearsed in advance, but once Daniil started playing...( and btw ) I LOVE this orchestra... filled with "seasoned" musicians.... (observe the expressions of many throughout this piece, especially the female cellist with the white hair at end of performance) ....such exuberant, professional, excellent musicians and yet they as we say here in America: truly "GET IT" and performed as if they too were gifted musicians in their 20's. Zubin is still extraordinary here. I do believe Trifonov's performance brought back the Maestro from his late 70's to his early 40's! And I just LOVE this!
+bravaLiz her face says more about her personal history than anything. Ask her about her mother.
From the opening you could see that Zubin was anything but tired. From the tuck of the shoulder, to the opening of the thumb and index finger as the signal to the person with the triangle. And he's still the best at "stopping the orchestra on a dime"--even live. Note the sequence in the 20:00 - 21:00. Absolutely amazing live performance.
+Jeff Randolph even considering that he can't start the orchestra? Pay closer attention.
I think Mehta is going to be deaf! Lately his tempos are becoming too slow and also he let the instruments start to play uncorrectely! It should be better if he retires...
Regarding Triifonov, he is wonderful piano player; I don't know why, but Rachmaninov played by Russian pianists sounds differently! Amazing, except for his posture, which is extremely ugly to see!
I defy anyone who says they don't like classical music to watch this video and not have their life changed forever!
My life didn't change for ever watching this video, sorry !
Also, you're using the coloquial meaning of classical music! This is actually Romantic music, not classical!
Mozart would be classical music!
Alec Hammond I urge you to check imslp.org and look at the composition period and style. You'll see it says romanticism :)
Alec Hammond It’s fun how you tried to outwit me and spite me by using the same phrasing, but the mere fact that you include “romanticism” in the genre name just confirms what I said. So thanks for that!
@@radamstep Rachmaninoff is classical, romantic and modern.
Cohesiveness, rhythmic propulsion, passion, tenderness. This interpretation is so youthful, yet emotionally speaks like one who has delved deeply into the nuances. His pointed rhythms showcase elements off this piece often ignored. same with the lovely counterpoint in the left hand. Yet with all his brilliance, he willingly allows himself to be ACCOMPANIST to the orchestra when it is THEIR turn. At this age, to be so confident of his place, and so accomplished with dynamics is so rewarding to this lover of Rachmaninoff. Maestro Mehta willingly went along with this young master's insistence on keeping a constant flow of these wonderful variations. The feeling of Concerto, rather than theme and variations was never more apparent to me than this performance.
It is so wonderful to know that classical music is in the hands of such sensitive and dynamic talents like Mr Trifinov, and others.
A joy from start to finish.
What a wonderful interview, and great insight into this extraordinary young man. These questions, coming from someone "inside" the competition, makes this interview truly relevant. Daniil capsulized his performances beautifully when he said (paraphrasing) "if I give myself to the music, the audience will respond. The music FIRST."
One feels he (meaning me") can leave this earth know that this pianist will provide the coming generations with profound and beautiful music making.
Thank you, and God bless you, Daniil.
agree!
a very astute observation by Robert Jason. well said.
bravaLiz
Thanks Liz. Aside from the extraordinary performance, having an interviewer who asks relevant, probing questions makes all the difference. It was clear that Trifinov was comfortable.
+Robert Jason
A joy to read your comments. Spot on!
Фантастически красиво сыграно!Браво!👋👋
That moment when the 18th variation starts - FANTASTIC
Rarely heard soloist and orchestra so in sync,wonderful performance.
Grande , grandissimo Trifonov.!C'è solo da sperare che crescendo non perda questa sua affascinante simbiosi col pianoforte che lo ricambia con la musica migliore che può esprimere .
Er wird es nie verlieren, denn Trifonov liebt und lebt die Musik aus ganzer Seele !
What a performance. I thought that his real strength was Chopin but now I see how versatile he is.!! Bravo.!!
И музыка и исполнение прекрасны! Браво Даниил Трифонов 😍
Well, now there! That was easy! :)
A nearly perfect performance from some of the most talented, and disciplined musicians playing together, under the baton of one of the very best conductors. This was just amazing! Thank you for it.
Hear hear
Over the years, have heard this piece hundreds of time by many different players. This is a keeper!
Peut-être la plus belle interprétation de cette partition magique!!
Awesome does not begin to describe the magnitude and magnificence of young Trifonov's performance..
What an utterly joyous interpretation of that 18th variation
Magnifique, une merveille entre l’orchestre, le chef, et Trifonov. Bravo !!!!👍👏🎵
No sheet music. The perfection of those short notes in the call and response portions just crazy! Rachmaninov was such a jazz aficionado and hearing his arrangement with jazz undertones and overtones is incredible.
Amazing! The XV Variation almost sounds like stride piano when the orchestra comes in. The fastest shuffle and played to perfection. Just amazing! He did this in DC a month or so ago. Would have loved to see this live!
Un talent immense, une maîtrise parfaite, une sensibilité innée.
Du grand art ! Magnifiquement servi par l'orchestre de Zubin Mehta !
Fantastic! His hands do magic.
On ne s'en lasse pas... On est ici au porte de la perfection artistique. Pour ceux qui écoutent; et pour les interprètes dont on mesure ici la joie que leur apporte ce chef d'oeuvre musical porté si haut par leur travail. Souvent celui d'une vie
On ne s'en lasse JAMAIS !
Гениально! Всё: оркестр и дирижер, Даниил БРАВО!!!!
Он не сильно переигрывает этот пианист??
Attractive and lively performed by Daniel! I love this style! So powerful and vivid,passionate
I had the great pleasure and surprise of seeing this brilliant young pianist live last night playing Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1, and immediately realized I had to find more from him! What an amazing artist, truly gifted! Thank you for uploading these videos for people to hear and see this brilliant young man.
I love how he can blend in with the rest of the Orchestra but also take off when the performance calls for it. BRAVO!!!! What a virtuoso performance by Daniil Trifonov.
i cannot stop watching him, Maestro Mehta who STILL has it after all of these years, the wonderful Israel Philharmonic, and the piece itself, a masterwork. I was on another site and some "teenagers" kept saying that he "emoted" to the point where they said he looked like a "creepy" ALIEN... from "outer space".... at first, I thought, what stupid comments. Then, I thought about it. They are right. This young man IS indeed OUT OF THIS WORLD! I especially love the andante sections, with winds, french horns, strings,(including the pizzicato) and the subtle artistry displayed by this young man... not just all of the "pyrotechnics"
he's out of this world alright and I LOVE everything about him even his expressions. I could watch him all day and almost have! lol. He's fabulous. Those teenagers are either jealous OR they don't understand how music is an expression of the heart and without the heart the music is just organized noise. I wouldn't change a thing about him.
Mitzi Renee I am SO....WITH you on this!
Cheeto Fingers Thats not true with teenagers
Simply the most stunning live performance of this work on record. What makes it, is the beautiful orchestral accompaniment to the great pianistic performance. I have just watched it for the sixth time and I am still bowled over by it even though I have heard it played by many other performers.
stunning indeed! The Israel Philharmonic, among the most seasoned and experienced of performers. I love the way Zubin originally comes to the podium (almost yawning...as if... yes...just another boring "gig" hahaha))... then.. "the kid" goes wild ...AND mild with sensitivity.. The orchestra is so exuberant! By the end of this.... ALL are electrified... I am speaking not of only the audience. Check out on You Tube the following:
Trifonov-Sergei Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 3. I HAVE heard him do this better. Parts at the beginning movement are a bit careless... other parts are sublime! It is among THE best Rach 3's I've ever seen and heard...L-I-V-E... and he performs this with a bunch of "kids" (but hey...he's a kid here too) who IDOLIZE him. There IS a section (somewhere into 8 minutes of the piece) where the Conductor "almost" loses the orchestra... but Daniil plays on with aplumb and it all comes together. NOT MY post... but I guarantee you will enjoy. Alles Gute!! :-) ...et vive la musique!
bravaLiz Having just watched it again, I am still amazed at the orchestral ensemble playing by the orchestra. Mehta brings out all the bravura and mystery of this work just as it is mirrored on the face of Trifonov in his spectacular performance. All the dynamics are maintained and the coordination of orchestra and soloist is seamless. I would rate it among the ten best performances of any work
that I have ever heard or seen.
Martin Padderborn Please excuse the superfluous ' by the orchestra' in the above post.
Martin Padderborn you are officially "excused"....:-) bwahahaha....
Ain't GREAT Music and Artistry....wonderful? Don't know how I'd go on in this sometimes nasty world.... without the beauty of the likes of this. Was/AM "I" being overly superfluous or too verbose? and.....do I care? Savor the good. There is so much out there!! A plethora of talent to remind us that we are blessed.
Take Care.
This looks to be professionally videotaped yet I've never seen a pro cameraman pan like he does at 5:15 and elsewhere. Makes it look like the video was shot by an amateur in the audience using his phonecam. Interesting. That aside, I've added Trifonov's performance to Mikhail Pletnev's w/ Abbado as the two best Rhapsodies here on UA-cam. There are others in b&w such as Rubinstein's and Janis that are stupendous but they are either fragmented or the sound quality is not optimum because of obsolete sound systems. Go with these, IMHO. __J Joe (also a composer of a Piano Concerto No 2 in c Minor) Ooops they pulled the complete Pletnev/Abbado off UA-cam. So sad. Guess that leaves only the Trifonov, which is not a bad thing, but the Pletnev will be missed.
Не могла оторваться от просмотра видео! Засмотрелась,заслушалась!!!!!
Vraiment prodigieux ce jeune pianiste qui fait visiblement du piano et de la musique ses deux cadeaux favoris! Il est épatant dans son style inimitable. On dirait qu’il est possédé par la musique qu’il traduit pour notre jouissance. Tout cela se traduit à l’évidence par l’expression de tout son corps, en particulier par ses doigts d’une étonnante agilité et par les diverses expressions de son visage.
Exactement ce que je sent aussi moi meme ! Merci a Vous !
After a long period of time, I have just watched this again and I still say this is possibly the finest performance of this work, not only recorded, but ever played. In every sense it's the definitive rendition of this work.
-- Une performance hors du commun. Daniil Trifonov fait jaillir la musique comme personne. Ce garçon n'est que musique, et c'est un plaisir immense que de l'entendre jouer. --
Ben Cuevas Totalment d'accord.!
Je valide
Foi uma apresentação memorável!!!! Sem igual!!!
It is so evident in this recording just how significant is the contribution of the conductor.
and we thought they just waved a stick in the air? HAha.
Probably the best performance I heard of this master piece.
The AMAZING Mehta. Did GREAT things in NY with the Phil. Absolutely DANCED through this performance! All of it due to the vibrant performance by this young pianist. I was not familiar with him prior to viewing this performance. That was my fault. I am now aware of his existence and will continue to follow his career. Excellent work!
FANTASTICO-PIANISTA-CONDUCTOR Y ORQUESTA UNA ARMONIA PERFECTA Y UN DELEITE VOLVER Y VOLVER A ESCUCHARLO-POR SUPUESTO LA COMPOSICION DE RACHMANINOV ES ESPELUZNANTE Y GENIAL
I'm hearing things I've never heard before... Thank you Daniil. You have an extraordinary gift! And I mean exta-ordinary. Something of the Divine breathing new life upon the vert moment. What a gift you are. Keep growing. You'll only get better at it.
this is a MASTERPIECE without question. Superb
Danil, what an electric passionate performance... Thank you so much for sharing this with us... Wonderful
Heard him in Rach 4 twice last week in England, two days in a row. To die for. This man is an utter genius. Can't wait for the CD to come out - seems only late next year unfortunately.
I have the DG CD and alas, this performance
Is far better.
‘It’ - Rachmaninov, Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini
‘It’ hurts, summoning demons from his heart deep within
Then ‘it’ flirts as if saving his soul from all sin
Ceremonial highs, which absorb him completely
Contortions arise yet each finger falls so sweetly
Syncopation transcends and the hand comes to rest
Each phenomenal note leaving each key caressed.
Extraordinary…
He lives through ‘it’, as ‘it’ lives through him
A performance so powerful it could tear limb from limb
But with the touch of an ethereal to enchant and delight
Before leaving us beaming off into the night.
Philharmonic and Mehta both played their part,
But in rhapsody it is clear that Trifonov… gave to ‘it’ his heart.
Marvellously performance - simply splendid!
“Bravo” never meant so much!
A true masterpiece...And Daniil Trifonov is a genious that I didnt know!
Daniil Trifonov's Lonely Hearts Club Band... That's how good that was!!!
This performance is going to be legendary... wait for it
Was going to try and work whilst listening this. I couldn't stop watching. 24 minutes well spent.
Lewis, I can unequivocally say Rachmaninoff's compositions in no way resemble the dreaded MUZAK.
Trifonov has everything, unbelievable talent, humility, inexaustible energy, spirit and gentleness. He is just getting started. Watch him and see the rise of the greatest talent of the twenty first century.
Wie Recht Sie damals schon hatten ! Ihr Kommentar sollte 1000 Likes haben ! 🌠
Trifonov gives a wonderful performance here, he is very talented. I'm looking forward to hearing more from him in the future.
Ça s'appelle du travail d'équipe! Le génie à l'état pur.
