My Dad says this is the “greatest” first minute of music that was ever written.
The only thing that I think could be better is perhaps New World Symphony.
@@guyno_one293 ooooh rigth. I think they all are masterpieces
Not even close.

Beethoven is rolling over in his grave with symphony 5
We're so lucky to live in a time where we have such easy access to this music. Think of hearing a beautiful symphony such as this, then having absolutely no way to listen to it again. Maddening.
Edit: Concerto, not symphony. Thanks for the correction
Or how to remember what it is if you hear it in your head but can't put a name on it.
it was like that just 20 years ago at least for me
Not a symphony
They had concerts back then.
I think same.
I love many composers alive and dead, but nobody has ever touched my heart and soul like Tchaikovsky. Truly a gift to all humanity and the universe.
У меня те же чувства. Жаль что прожил так мало. Ушёл из жизни на пике карьеры. Непревзойденный мелодист. Автор лучшего концерта для скрипки, лучшего балета и еще двух в топ-5, одного из лучших концертов для фортепьяно, 6 симфоний+Манфред,, оперы, увертюры, романсы. Широчайший охват музыкальных форм. Учитель и вдохновитель Рахманинова. Пока существует эта цивилизация Чайковский будет в числе 4-5 величайших композиторов в истории человечества и величайшим российским композитором..

I love his music ❤️🙏
How nice does to "all univers"sound
2:24 that transition from piano to heavenly violins was BEAUTIFUL!!!
stop spoiling!!!!! i haven't gotten to that part yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nvm

@@mx5yee471 sorry lmao
hahaha this thread
First notes are so glorious!
So, why didn't he make up notes that would perfectly follow those glorious notes ?
Petra Marbun The piano part sounds fine to me too, but not so well.
He simply composed it as he thought fit... That theme is never repeated after it's initial playing. What a strange arrangement, but it works.
dude the piano makes the melody so strong, it is such a good piece
Have to agree completely. The piano is beautiful and the concerto is glorious, but had he repeated the initial part in the end, it would have tied the whole thing up neatly....this feels a little.....well, loose (for lack of a better word).
2:26 always gives me goosebumps!
Out of this world..
You and the rest of the universe ;)

If you know this song of early 2010s champions league, that part hit different.
@@mcj2219 yes bro i‘m here bc of that😢
I am grateful for whoever decided to play this masterpiece every morning at my elementary school as morning routine.
To compose a song like that, which elevates our souls, Tchaikovsky was really an enlightened one.
it's a piece
@@petrhanzlik69 can you say Russian word for both "song" and "piece"? Tchaikovsky was Russian. This is not American mate. Also, I don't recall hearing about any American classical composer.
Russians do have terms for both song and piece (песня/композиция)
@@sagar1992 ? It’s still a piece. A song has lyrics, an opera would be a song, a pop hit would be a song, this however, would be a piece, or concerto.
@@officialmozart I'm aware of it but there's no such thing as "piece" in my my native language tho. Still calling it a "song" sounds weird but it's just English.
If you're reading this, you got a good taste in music.
I stumbled here after watching the ukrainian soldier playing the piano
stfu pretentious twat. don't make me cringe at being here
I totally agree with you, cousin! :)
Thanks bro
@@chiragraju821 This music screams European. When I hear this, I imagine being a patriotic German noble who wakes up and on the telegram appears- Prussia has won the Franco-Prussian war and all German states have been united as the German empire.

The younger you had a dream. Make that little man proud.
My mother and father adored Tchaikovsky too and whenever I hear any work by the great man, I am instantly transported back to family evenings listening to him on my mother’s collection of 78’s. Wonderful times… I miss them so much but I feel that and hear them every time I hear Tchaikovsky.

One of the most gorgeous pieces I've ever heard.
Yes men
I agree
Chopin told him that this tune was basically crap. Shows what Chopin knew. This is a fantastic concerto.
@@alexhamilton4084 How is that possible? Chopin wasn't alive anymore when this piece got composed. Chopin died in 1849, while this concerto was composed around 1874-75. Or did i misunderstand you?
This song your flying and not even moving. How impossibly possible.
He is in my opinion the finest composer to grace the world with music. Just give the man some paper and a pen, he'll dream up a masterpiece.
Vivaldi tho....
But what if he wasn't a man?
@@peterwaite7102 thank you Peter Waite, very cool.
@@peterwaite7102 he is a man, a gay™ one.

In my opinion, one of the most beautiful melodies ever put to an orchestra. Especially, 2:25. I have no words.

Sim, realmente toca a alma.
am I the only one who doesn't care about this part? I mainly just like the piano solo at start

This is so beautiful I started crying the first time I heard it. No piece has ever made me feel like this.
Why cry?
U must be happy.
Bloody brilliant. Tchaikovsky is my favorite along with Chopin.

I was visiting my great grandma with my mom a few days ago. My mom asked her grandma if she remembers how she’d always play piano for them especially “that one Tchaikovsky song”. My great grandma remembered playing the piano but didn’t quite remember the song so my mom brought it up on her phone and as soon as she started playing it my great grandma was singing along like she had just listened to it before we even brought it up. Music is truly magical.

Tchaikovsky is a true genius. His ballets, symphonies, concerti and many other works are sublime. You can't fairly argue on the greatest composer of all time because, there are many composers who accomplished different but just as significant feats.
Greats like Mussorgsky, Stravinsky, Ravel, Grieg, Resphigi, Mozart, Britten, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mahler, Nielsen, Bizet, etc.
If you truly love music, you love all composers and you care about the artistry and raw intellect they gave to the world of music. The Avant-Garde dissonance of Ives, the beauty of Mozart and Beethoven, the passion of Mahler, the Primitive brilliance of Stravinsky in "The Rite of Spring". No one composer should ever be ranked higher than anyone else.
Excuse me sir, you're leaving out the geniuses of the baroque era, who laid the foundations for the classical & romantic eras. To be honest, as great as it is, Mozart's music was a bit of a step down from that of his baroque predecessors. Hotteterre, Porpora, Zelenka, Rameau, Telemann, but most importantly BACH. How could you leave out a man who wrote 15 fugues and 4 cannons using a single theme?!? The crab cannon alone should earn him a spot on your list.
Also, just as a PSA if you think baroque music is boring, you're probably listening to a recording that trills from the bottom note and uses vibrato for more than just an ornament, which ain't right. Although there was no standard pitch during the baroque era, recordings at A=415 Hz will probably be the most accurate in terms of style.
So much passion and pain... so beautiful and intense
Very descriptive comment
Respighi, not "Resphigi."
To be fair, we all have individual preferences- you can be a music enthusiast and prefer certain composers to others. For example, Satie is easily my favourite, but I consider Bach the best composer of all time.
This is an epic battle between piano and orchestra.
Your little self had a dream. Don't disappoint lil bro
This piece is one of the earliest I remember. My mother used to play it when I was a small child. I'm seventy three years of age now; it was magnificent then as it still is now.
A beautiful story. I hope your mother’s memory lives long.
Until I die!@@gandalfstormcrow7943

Play this on my piano when I was 14 loved it then. I’m 90 now still
Love it, but sadly no

***** m8 i'm the egdelord so what did you expect ?
Moonlight sonata is a superior piece, hands down.
This music takes me back to 1944 when I was a five year old evacuee, staying with a family called, Tully in Nottingham. It moved me then and still moves me. Magnificent
this is a great memory :)
Evacuee out of London I’m assuming? Those were tough times on Britain. Here in America, we haven’t been attacked to a large extent on our home soil for a very long time (discounting Pearl Harbor). I can’t imagine LA or NYC or DC (where I live) being bombed like that.

For anyone who enjoyed this wonderful piece of heaven, I highly recommend these other piano concertos that you will probably enjoy as well (if you don't already know them):
Rachmaninoff - Piano Concerto No. 2 Mov. 2
(The first few minutes sound like a sweet dream. The last minutes finally let the melody express itself fully, in a wonderful piano torrent).
Shostakovich - Piano Concerto No. 2, Mov. 2
(The string accompaniment is low and melancholic the first minute, then the very clear piano appears like a light in the night, pure beauty).
Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 23, Mov. 2
(Deep and painful at the beginning, then more optimistic, and finally the theme of the beginning is taken up and completed, really moving).
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 5, Mov. 2
(The movement begins with masterful strings. Then the piano enters, subtle and delicate. Grandiose)
Hope you will like these masterpieces too !
Thanks for the recommendations I'll check these out c:
who care
What a magnificent music taste you have, good sir!
Have you heard Scott Joplin's Gladiolus rag yet? It's positively brilliant!
I recommend:
Yevgeny Svetlanov - Concerto for Piano No. 1 in D Major, Op. 13: I. Allegro molto e con brio "Toccata"
Liszt - Hungarian Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra
@@EarthBoundBean coincidentally, all my favorites!! they definitely evoke a very specific emotion, i have them in a single playlist when i want to feel deeply contemplative and emotional lol

Why not both ?
I heard Due to banning of Russian Anthem in Tokyo olympics. Russia is going to use this music as their anthem in tokyo olympics
Russian anthem is beautiful but listening to this after you won 🥇 at Olympic games would be an amazing feeling too!
@@d.r.7059 offcourse , this music is so Russian.
The reason i came here.
Russia does not have a team officially at this year's Games. They're known as Team ROC (short for Russian Olympic Committee), and are under some very tight controls to make it clear that this is not a national team. No Russian flag, no national anthem; and the team members cannot have been involved in any way with the doping scandal that got Russia banned until 2024.
where is the USSR national anthem that should be used...
So much emotion in this piece. You can feel a story unfolding as the piece progresses

I love this gorgeous Piano Concerto by Tchaikovsky. He is one of the greatest composers.
Life is beautiful! Thanks a million Tchaikovsky !
It literally never gets old. I can't even lie. Hundreds of years later, it's still around. And I can listen to it on repeat and still have the same wonder as if I was to listen to it live for the first time in 1875. God, I'm not exaggerating when I say it NEVER gets old.
a pure jewel. Such a beautiful piece.
0:11-1:23 and 2:26-3:08 are my favorite parts. I feel that these strings really steal the show in this piano concerto.
In 1962 my father bought an Lp that was a demos for the new fangled idea called "stereo". It would first show you the right channel, then the left. The piece they used for this demo was Tchaikovsky's piano concerto. I fell in love. It's now 52 years late and the demo record is long gone but I'm still listening to Tchaikovsky's masterpiece.
goodchessactor long ass time bro
@goodchessactor: Suggestion: make it your project in life (maybe get wife or girlfriend to participate) to find a copy of that demo record . . . and a 1962 stereo to play it on. I think you might have some worthwhile experiences doing so . . .
Along with you I bought my first musical LP when I was 17. That was in 1959. I"m 78 now and I still love it as much now as I did then.
Yes, I am alive! I am awake! Wide awake! Oh how glorious it is to be, at this moment at home and alive!
I first heard this one night at Hotel Del Coronado during Christmas when I was 13. My family was staying three nights there and everyone was exhausted from the flight, but I was restless, so I headed downstairs. It was around 11pm, very few people around, I wandered around the lobby looking at the Christmas decor, the huge tree, and for a few minutes almost felt I was in a fairytale play. It was one of those surreal magical moments in my life I'll always remember.
I’ve always been a Baroque guy myself, but this is inimitable
U must come out from baroque.
(0:00 - 0:54) That has got to be one of the most beautiful, powerful, epic, poignant, somber, breathtaking pieces of music I’ve ever heard in my life.
Bravo! 🎶🎵👏👏👏👏🎵🎶
ikr its so great.
looping this
not many things make me cry, but this song, i love it so much and it brings me to the verge of tears every time

One of the best music in the world. Not even after listening to it twenty times did I get bored. The first part is amazing.
Just came to listen Russian Olympic anthem for gold medals ceremony, and it is awesome
no more like Russian Olympic Committee , Russia has been banned . The ROC is a workaround for those who didnt get caught in doping scandal

Tchaikovsky is the greatest composer of all time!
Finally found this, couldn't remember this piece's name for 2 years!
I remember when I was 8years old and listening to this for the first time... I cried só much hahahha I said to my parents that it was the most beautiful song I've never heard! ;D this masterpiece is so nostalgic to me.
That's so adorable good for you ❤️
Ye i also listened to this song a lot when i was in 5th grade
everyone talks about 2:25 but I think 6:59 is truly a masterpiece. Its serenity is, in my opinion, one of the best composed areas of a song ever.
Sí.
ok but 2:25 is a killer fanfare
YES I’VE FINALLY FOUND IT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR TWO MONTHS AAAUUUUGHHHH!!!!!!
That pic of Tchaikovsky... looks like someone you shouldn't mess with...
Oh yea
🤣🤣🤣
Painters who draw him, knew how to make good impression of him
He looks like the final boss.
I love how some photos of him looks intimidating but in reality he was actually a cinnamon roll- (literally)
I almost cried listening to this the 1st time.....
Evan Berridge happened to me.
it's so weird. there's something about the chords that just speaks of life
Same here, totally connected with the piece instantly on that first listen
@@LavaMLG The same happened to me when I first listened to "Pas de deux" from Nutcracker. Insanely good.
Well that was the royal 19th century
Such a nice song to begin a year with :)
Tchaikovsky you are the best forever.
Yes
Debatable, he is a great artist, 1812 overture is one of my favorites, but Dvorak has made my favorite classical piece of all time, for me, in from the new world
agree
saint saens, schubert?
Yes
Gosh this is the most beautiful thing anyone can hear. truly is unmatched
Music of the gods. Straight masterpiece.
This is the masterpiece ever from Tchaikovsky
I was growing up with this piano concerto...A masterpiece!
Me too! My beautiful Grandmother Joey had a Pension in Beira Mozambique and she played amazing music and even as a very small child I delighted with this riveting song. My parents would dance to Glen Miller songs! I was so privileged!
Best masterpiece of all time, one of my favorite composers in the world.🌏🙂
Was, and will continue to be my all-time favorite classical piece
"our dreams at dusk" brought me here, this song is wonderfull
In my opinion, there are few compositions ever written that can come close to this one in beauty and grandeur. I've had the chorus of this stuck in my head since the tenth grade. I'm in college now.
Same
I like the way the scale sounds dramatic. It seems to switch to the relative minor right after the intro, which is D flat major, before going back to Bb minor. So greatly composed!
The heart, , , , the emotions that are touched, , , , stroked by these sublime masterpieces is so profound!
This song goes so hard, Tchaikovsky was such a genius.
A true genius, who is often forgotten. For me, there is no difference between Tchaikovsky and Beethoven, both are on the same level. The guy composed waltz for the heavens.
I would put those two and Schumann as my favourite three composers and I agree, I simply can't choose between them.
In our universe. You rarely see his name being mentioned with others great composers. Vivaldi is another example on a similar scenario.
I don't think so. Search "The greatest composers" into google and it comes up with the first four most talked about as Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky. That seems about right to me.
sarcastic bowl of cornflakes Dvorak is an excellent composer, severely underated in my opinion - a fair few of his symphonies are masterpieces (not just the 9th!), they are very Beethovian. Liszt and Paganini are legendary performers and their works for their own instruments are incredibly virtuostic but I don't think they are underated by people who play those instruments. I do enjoy Prokofiev and Saint-Saens and was lucky enough to grow up in a household where my Dad played classical guitar so I am very familiar with Sor and Tarrega.
Anyway I would agree that those are better examples of underrated composers but even they have all produced great works which have a firm place in the repertoire (with the exception perhaps of Tartini and Medtner, who I will check out. I've heard the Devils Trill sonata and a few Medtner pieces that are on other CD's but nothing beyond that I don't think). Anyway I would just add Bruckner to your list - the great symphonist should be talked about on the same level as Mahler and Shostakovich in my opinion, but his insecurity and constant revising of his works I think makes him harder to access than those two.
sarcastic bowl of cornflakes I never called him a unsung hero. I said that Bach, Mozart, Beethoven AND Tchaikovsky are in the same level. In most cases, the critic and the public only remember those 3 as they are some kind of a divine trinity or something, the greatest composers. Both Vivaldi and tchaikovsky don't get too far behind them, but this is not a common agreement between the masses. And no, this song is not popular. Swan Lake is very popular, but this one don't get even half of the recognition. And that's the point.. Tchaikovsky is only know for the waltz, Vivaldi is only know by the seasons. They have plenty of material unknown for the general public, and that is a tremendous shame.
Just finished 5 days of exams with this on repeat. I Put this on just before my exams, effectively blocking out all noise, all while observing the looks of despair in my peers. It was a very marvelous and relaxing experience!
Works all the time for me :)
share with me how to analyse and enjoy this.
I don't know classical music
it is just noise
@@jasonbonde8691 try to imagine what story that noise is trying to tell. Focus on it and engage with it mentally and emotionally.
I remember hearing this as a little boy. My dad recorded everything from the Gas company...on the radio in Los Angeles this was the intro.....Tchaikovsky one of the best composers in the World!
i've known of this song before, but having watched the movie "Nobody" yesterday brought me here now. Lovely to have had a reminder 💖
Dear music, thanks for always clearing my head, healing my heart, and lifting my spirit..
This was my Dads Favourite ,no matter how l try not to cry ... l always do, because its so beautiful & my Pop use to stare into a "Trance of Bliss". l see him every time l play this masterpiece , it's so wonderful how music can do that...bring to life captivating memories..Thankyou Tchaikovsky
Your story made me tear up, I’m so glad this music helps you ♥️
Beautiful J'adore Tchaikovsky
Moi aussi
My heart is crying, what's left of my soul weeping.
This is some music that tells such a beautiful story.
This calms me down in many ways...
I always cry to Tchaikovsky..
i was 7 when this came out, now i'm 153 and it sounds just as well as when i heard it for the first time
the most underrated of the great composers.
Dude everyone knows him and everyone loves him, he is not underrated at all haha
+Dawson Zornes where is your area then
+Dawson Zornes oh cool 👍
Tchaikovsky is very well known, I think Rachmaninow and Skrjabin are mor underrated :)
I think he's underrated in the sense that music scholars don't take his music as seriously as other composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, and Brahms because his music is more driven by emotion instead of form and structure like these other composers... It's ridiculous to me tho because in my opinion that's what makes his music more interesting...
And I think when compared to these other composers, Tchaikovsky's music has stood the test of time pretty well and is some of the most well-liked by general audiences. I mean think about it... He's got the 1812 overture, Romeo and Juliet, nutcracker, Swan lake, this piece, and others.. It don't matter what the scholars say about him, his music has touched the hearts of many people
I so love this theme. I've played it, danced to it in Ballet, it's epic
Everyone relating this glorious masterpiece as the ROC anthem in Tokyo 2020... As a Peruvian it always gives me goosebumps as I heard this in the opening ceremony of Russia 2018! We were back at a World Cup after 36 long years, and Russia welcomed us with this piece of heaven! Unforgettable!

It just drives me crazy!!!
Bel pezzo di musica
I would like to thank ROC (Tokyo 2020) for let me discover this masterpiece 🤩
You better need to ask your grandparents or great grandparents or their parents to ask about this masterpiece if you are from Europe
i learned this entire concerto by ear after the first time i listen to it.
It's sublime, feels like being trapped in a snowstorm
My goodness, what a clever fellow you are!!
But, do you ever strain your arm while patting yourself on the back?
this must surely be the music on the pathway to Heaven.
+john marlog I like the sound of that :)
yes,or ride of the valkaryries
Just remember to take the path, not the Stairway :P
On the pathway to hell it may be lil pump
It certainly is! I'm just back from a friend's mother's funeral and this played as she departed ... what an exit! I just had to listen to it again.
I feel better when i listen this man ♥
yes.
If i made this my ringtone i would never pick up
Tchaikovsky has to be my favourite composer ever! Every single piece he wrote, every ballet piece composed by him just instantly captivates your heart and soul! The life and colour in his artistry is just remarkable!
I agree! My favorite composer forever. I can’t decide if Swan Lake, the violin concerto, or the 6th symphony is his ultimate masterpiece. Perhaps a 3-way tie!
@@thesilvershining His ultimate masterpiece is the dance of the sugarplum fairy, nothing can top that
Wow ,thats what I call music through the heart not only through the ears
This is the first piano concerto I ever heard, Maan. I remember where I was and how astonished I was at such beautiful music. Van C li burn had just won that international piano competition earlier. I had heard about him on the news and now here he was on vinyl on my record player. I can't tell you how many times I have listened through the years. I feel as though I know every note. Thank you for bringing this beautiful concerto to us today.
Tchaikovsky is such a cool name, fitting for such cool music.
The crescendo at 2:30 is sublime.
I fell in love with this concert since I was 13 and never stopped loving it.What beautiful memories it evokes.
how old are you now
