Daniil Trifonov: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 січ 2018
- Jan. 12, 2018 | Tom Huizenga -- When we invited Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov to play a Tiny Desk concert, we rolled out the big guns. In place of the trusty upright, we wedged a 7-foot grand piano behind Bob Boilen's desk in preparation for the artist who The Times of London called "without question the most astounding pianist of our age."
That's a pretty lofty claim, but watch and judge for yourself. His performance here is extraordinary. Still in his 20s, Trifonov seems to have it all: jaw-dropping technique and interpretive skills beyond his age. He's also a composer - the night before his NPR visit, he played his own knuckle-twisting piano concerto at the Kennedy Center here in Washington, D.C.
But for his Tiny Desk show, Trifonov focused on Chopin, beginning with the mercurial "Fantaisie-Impromptu" in C-sharp minor, a work that mixes sweeping melody, turbulent passion and wistful repose. Hunching close over the keyboard with feline agility, Trifonov's slender fingers glide effortlessly. He coaxes the instrument to sing tenderly in the slow central section.
Trifonov follows with a pair of short tributes to Chopin by his peers. Robert Schumann's "Chopin" accentuates the lyrical side of Chopin, filtered through the German composer's forward-looking harmonies, while Edvard Grieg's "Hommage à Chopin" offers volatility, lovingly rendered.
The smartly programmed set is capped with more Chopin, but with a nod to Mozart: the finale from a set of variations based on an aria from Don Giovanni. It gives Trifonov a chance to display his lightness of touch, plus a few pianistic fireworks. Smiling, he treats the tricky filigreed runs and hand crossings as if it were a child's game. Look closely and you can see the piano shake.

Aren’t we fortunate to have a musician of this caliber alive in our lifetime?
Exactly~
He brings something special to every piece he plays. Beyond just his top level technique and execution, his emotional way of playing and interpreting often brings me to tears, and stays in my mind for weeks or months after hearing it. That’s why I believe we’re so lucky to have him.
@@HieronymousLex
He is truly one in generation gem,,, and for me the pinnacle of his performance is undoubtedly Rachmaninov pieces
I read Danila was forbidden by his teachers to play Rachmaninov until the age of 20-21, until he fully matured physically for those incredibly demanding pieces
yes.
jesss!
jesus, please give a great applause to the sound engineer
absofukinglutely! Knows how to Mic a Piano
Great sound!!!
that would be daniil.
Если бы добавить звук с чуть более дальнего плана, чтобы молоточки так не долбили по ушам. Но, тем не менее - звук рояля очень хорош.
@@LazoIV Учитывая замкнутое пространство, звуки - не что иное, как чудо!
This is so wonderful, thank you so much for giving me such joy and musical love Daniil Trifonov. 🌷🌷🌷 and thank you NPR Music and your fabulous team. 🌷🌷🌷 (Holland-eu)
You can really tell that he’s in love with the piano. It’s beautiful.
With music*
@@dankg55 with music... the piano is just his personal tool... and WHAT a tool it is!!!!
Yes, both with music and with piano!:)
True
Daniil, such a marvelous pianist, love your playing so much!!❤️🙏
Daniil Trifonov - the most modest person you'll ever meet, but what a genius! I was lucky to meet him at a performance he gave in a small church in Israel shortly after winning the Rubinstein piano competition. At that time you could see that the publicity and adoration he was receiving from the Israeli audience still left him a bit shell shocked. He is the type of artist who appears once in a hundred years.
This man doesn't just play the piano, he makes love to the piano and it's beautiful to listen to.
彈得真是好聽，超棒的，神態自若優雅，果然是大師級別，神人，讚！
00:00 Chopin: "Fantaisie-Impromptu, Op. 66
06:49 Schumann: "Chopin. Agitato" (from Carnaval)
08:27 Grieg: "Hommage à Chopin, Op. 73, No. 5
11:47 Chopin: "Variations on 'Là ci darem la mano' (from Mozart's Don Giovanni) - Coda. Alla Polacca"
Thank you so much 😻🙀
Yess. Scrolling down for this comment. Thinking/hoping I was going to have to do it. Thank you
He knows how to choose good pieces. Not just the usual. Don't know the last time I heard that Schumann, Grieg, or especially the Chopin variations.
I just fold in love with the idea of sharing also classical music through this channel
Your comment just made me subscribe to this channel
Absolutely true!
@@jamien.5528 lol
Nice
I'm addicted to his playing, and I don't know why, I'm just drawn into every single performance he gives. Loved this setting.
Me too. He is unique.
He is very unique and EXTREMELY underrated.
I’m blown away, man.
Tears. Of pure joy.

The studio looks like an angry teenager’s bedroom. Quite a contrast to the organised beauty of Trifonov’s Art.
He plays the remembrance of a long lost soul. I feel my face change in accordance with his expressions. What an astonishing thing a living human life can be.
I just saw him today here in Orange County, CA at Soka U. All Bach program. He is a remarkable human being. Possibly the greatest musician I have ever seen perform. Absolutely remarkable.
The recipe to the best interpretation of Schumanns Chopin: ignore the forte, ignore that it’s called agitato. This is hands down the best interpretation in my book. He truly evokes Chopin with that piece.
He is probably the best pianist ever......
He is fantastic!
I just saw him last night @ Disney Concert Hall. Played Brahms. Absolutely stunned by the performance and my arms are sore from all the applause which was/is well deserved. Very highly recommended if you have the opportunity to see a concert pianist of this caliber! 👍👍 BRAVO!!
TE AMO TRIFONOV, ERES UN GENIO.
That last piece blew my mind. Like I need to have a lay down. Bravo Daniil, bravo.
Divine concentration...de ces doigts qui virevoltent.
Echo céleste.
Mon écoute seule est bousculée.
Mon âme s'indicipline prennant le chemin de l'enchantement des sens.
Merci.
Christiane
Every generation only one true great pianist is born. Daniil is that pianist.
I saw Daniil live last month at the Walt Disney. He is the best of the best. He is so talented and he kept playing songs after he finished because the crowd didn’t want him to leave. He was so gracious and sweet to play like 4 extra songs. One of my favs
Cuando Chopin escribió estas obras una minúscula porción de la humanidad pudo escucharlas... Gracias a Dios ahora pueden ser disfrutadas por todo el mundo e interpretadas por los más increíbles pianistas. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
He becomes the music he is playing. Daniil Trifonov is a genius musician. Definitely the best of his generation - I love him. He should get an insurance for his beautiful hands... ❤
Good thing NPR decided to ALLOW a Russian Artist to play on their Program in these times. TOO BAD Symphony Orchestras and especially Opera Companies in the USA were NOT ABLE to KEEP POLITICS ASIDE for the SAKE OF ART.
Spectacular! I love how he shows, through his playing, not just what an amazing technician Chopin was, but also how gifted Chopin was as an improvisor.
Amazing to see Daniil here! I had the privilege of attending the Cleveland Institute of Music at the same time as him and I even had the opportunity to record him a few times too - WOW has his career exploded! Congrats Daniil!
О,эти пальчики,божественная душевность в исполнении,Глубина чувств-всё это подтверждает гениальность этого юноши-слушаю его с подъемом настроения и желанием жить.Благодарю-ты даёшь нам Божью Благодать.дорогой !
Трифонов Даниил Олегович - пианист - интеллектуал, виртуоз мирового уровня. Восхищение от Его исполнения произведений классиков.
A Russian playing music by a Polish composer, a tribute to that Polish composer written by a German composer, and said Polish composer's own homage to an Austrian composer. Proof of the power of music to bring people together.
True!
Music transcends nationality. Plus, we're all mixed now anyhow.
Most of them were actually Austrians with different ethnic backgrounds.
This music is how emotion and state of being is comunicated. I dont understand any of it. Im just a simple farmer with no musical training, but some classical music, especially the solo piano, just makes me feel so much connection. I feel like its inside me. Ah, words are usless to express this stuff. I love listening to it. Thats all.
Surtout la preuve que le génie se situe en Europe! Et vous avez oublié son père français.
Gives a whole new meaning to "tickling the ivories". Just beautiful!
WOW! This guy's fingers are moving as elegantly as ballerinas. Out of this world! I've never experienced such a visually pleasing piano performance.
Julie Julie I recommend you (if you don’t know him yet) a Mr. Paul Barton here on UA-cam. Such a delicacy to the eyes, ears and heart!
only he and Yunchan Lim his follower ,the best ,the Top! thank you so much!
❤Гений планеты Земля
He's simply a genius!
Definitivamente un maestro con técnica, fraseo y elegancia para tocar el piano…Congratulations!
Chopin liked to perform in the salons more than concert halls. A lot of his music (which is mostly just piano music) sounds the best played in intimate, smaller environments such as salons (His piano concertos obviously aren’t meant for salons). Not only did Trifonov play very well, but he chose music just right for this environment.
Пальцы купаются в клавишах, а это исполнение прикасается к сердцу , и теперь уже и душа купается в этих нежных, порывистых и рассыпающимися радужными брызгами звуках. Спасибо, Даниил!!!
🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷🌹💐
How amazing he always plays with all his heart! His performance is also an art, but the appearance of the performance gives a bigger impression. This is a musical devotion that can not be heard without tears. Thank you for sharing.👍
Beautifully said. I couldn't agree more.
Bravissimo Daniil !!! Always a delight to listen to you.!
I just heard heaven. Thank you for bringing such an amazing human being into the office & sharing.
Tiny desk impresses once again
너무너무 좋고 행복한
음악속에는 완벽한 조화와 아름다움이 있고
사람이나 물질적인 어떤거에도 없는
온맘을 흔드는 설레게하는 지복감 있는
완벽한 일종의 깨달음같은
지금이순간에 철저하게 몰입하는
수십년째 클래식 덕질
HAPPY~~
He seems to be in the same category as Martha Argerich to me. Extremely virtuosic but with soul and good interpretive abilities.
Yes extremely lyrical.
Tears 😭
A living legend! Daniil Trifonov never ceased to impress us with such a rich musicality!
What a clever set list! He could choose far more showy pieces like liszt, rachmaninoff, etc. but instead he gave us most intimate music just adequate for such a friendly stage as Tiny desk.
lol the Chopin variations seems pretty showy to me
Good insight
Fantaisie Impromptu definitely is showy
@@nikoladelerue1000 to most listeners, yes. but i think by the original commenter’s standards, it isn’t, as the fantasie impromptu is one of the more “introductory” level pieces to the upper level of piano.
Holy shit tiny desk. This shit is awesome.
When so many pianist play this piece it is difficult to write that this is the best one. They all have theys way of playing it….that make music the most spesiell of listening arts…
It's not only beautiful to listen to, but also to look at!! So much love!! I'm crying happy tears.
He has more than others. If Rubinstein had heard him he would have just known . Music from this man comes from somewhereelse. Nothing ever sounds like you've ever heard before. Trifonov finds where it came from and clothes music with its essence. One day he will give us op.101 orHammerklavier or op.90 or Schumann Sonatas or Kreisleriana or Fantasy and then it will never be forgotten.The Carnaval Chopin says so much and yet we hear Schumanns joke and the sincerity simultaneously!!
Sie haben ausgesprochen was ich ebenso empfinde. Alle Musikstücke die sie erwähnen sind auf You Tube zu finden.Hammer Klavier finden Sie unter: Daniil Trifonov "Rameau".
Carnegie Hall Rezital Dezember 2023.
Inzwischen ist alles von Ihnen gewünschte auf You Tube zu hören . Ihr Kommentar entspricht dem was ich auch fühle.❤
Thank you for bringing him to the Tiny Desk Concert. He's truly a great pianist.
This is wonderful! Thank you. Wish to see more classical musicians on tiny desk :)
perfect, bravo!
I can feel his whole heart being put into the piece...wish I was there!
Only a true artist would come to such a stage, immense respect
Στον Μαέστρο μας με αγάπη . Χιλιόχρονος !!!!!!
😂 that’s cute. Indeed, he is a Millennial!
Genius.
This is so mesmerizing!! My heart!
What a privilege to be able to experience this intimate recital thanks to the Tiny Desk concerts. Awesome technique, matched by depth of emotion, in a thoughtfully selected programme. Thank you!
So much wow. That transition from Schumann to Grieg was flawless!
Holy cow! That was amazing.
Wow! I just love how in the Fantaisie-Impromptu, when the main beginning theme comes back after the slow section, he plays it faster and more passionately than the first time. It is so intense and provides a great sense of progression!
It's marked presto on it's return so yes, faster, more intensified
the middle 'cantabile, slower' section gets me. Seems so many pianists use it as a break between the 'virtuosic/fast' parts. Simply stunning. It makes me want to just play that section over and over after hearing his interpretation.
Ultimately.. I end up here again.
Daniil is phantastic !
1:03 Perhaps the most beautiful bit of music.
Прекрасный пианист и композитор. Брависсимо!!!
I did not know that Daniil Trifonov also composes!
I'm seeing him live tomorrow, so this got me excited.
I saw him last nite in Bern doing Beethoven 2nd PC. As was the case just now, I dont know which is more thrilling, his presto or his legato. For me that is what is most unique about him.
Totally bedazzled by Trifonov. His tender interpretations move me; his technique is mesmerizing. Love!
This great musician embodies true lyricism throughout with such modesty! And he is a composer too!
it seems he's almost hurting inside when he's playing. Music and him are one and every time he touches the keyboard he gives all his being. Must be so nice to have that feeling of truly mastering something, so that it becomes an extension of yourself and lives deeply inside of you.
Come to us , and play for us . 🐻🐻🌲🌲🇸🇰🇸🇰
So amazing
Genius music💯💯💯👏👏👏👏
Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Encore! Thank you!
He has so much fun! I love watching someone play with so much passion and joy.
Wow, his playing is really something else.. absolutely incredible!
Absolutely amazing....i also was waiting for a tear or two to drop on the keys...
Yo creo que Actualmente es el mejor Pianista del Mundo . Es Increíble como se deja llevar por la Música y nos trasmite lo que está sintiendo ...Ya la cuestión técnica la tiene Resuelta ..solo se concreta a Sentir , Expresar , a volcar su Alma según la Obra que esté ejecutando ...mi más profunda Admiración por este Joven Artista del Piano ..el Mejor Exponente del Conceptismo . Reciba Mis mejores deseos y Felicitaciones de los Músicos Clásicos que tiene México , con mucho Aprecio para, Daniil Trifonov . Muchas Gracias por Compartir .Bravooooo!! 💖💓💓💓👏👏👏👏👏👏🎹🎼🎵🎶🌸🌼🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻
So beautiful. Thank you!
Never heard such highly sensitive performance & intense yet subtle transmission of feelings.
Rare experience!
Moltes gràcies! ❤
Крутейший чувак! Очень эмоционально играет ))
He's one of the top young pianists. I always enjoy listening to him and it's great to hear him in the intimate setting of Tiny Desk.
How can anyone say anything negative about this? Pure genius!!!
Only the envious and the tone deaf.
By definition, God is better...but not by much.
@@pyboppybop3896 And God doesnt exist...
@@jeffreylebowski4927 he does.
@@3SuspectAGB007 Prove it, or at least present good evidence - else accept that there is no evidence and that therefor its made up and therefor its as likely to exist as santa clause - actually less because there is alot of evidence AGAINST god like pointless illness and tragedy and an indifferent universe that only behaves according to physics and chemistry... and none for it.
So until people like you present any good, objective evidence you will be dismissed as deluded nut jobs like you should be...
Daniil is awesome. Thanks for playing.
I like his style, he strokes keyboard and smiles like a cat.
Do cats smile?

@@alessandrofarina2852 yeah they do! Look at my profile pic ;)
Такой душевный , тонкий, гениальный ...Спасибо
Thank you Daniil, thank you NPR...
Did not expect this wonderful treat tonight from NPR Tiny Desk. Memorable, and many thanks❣️
was about to clean up my room but ended up staring at his fingers. amazing
Юиорист😅
Such magnificance in is hands movements, such emotions on his face when he plays too. Incredible showing right there
His technique is impeccable, but the way you can feel the music flowing through him! Amazing
A bit left field perhaps but since sax is in your username, one other musician that gives me the same feeling of music flowing through him is Patrick Bartley, alto saxophonist. His genre is jazz but every note is infused with soul and rhythm.
Totally blown away! Bravo! Want to give him a standing ovation every time I listen
Out of all musicians!!! Daniil is my favorite concert pianist. Hope he gets a ton of extra exposure from this. My generation is behind on transcendental music from the likes of Chopin and other great composers.
Sooooo incredibly beautiful, thanks~ ☀️
