He completed what may be one of the single greatest performances for a solo instrument of all time. Not many other musicians in the world could sit there and play the entire transcendental etudes to that high a quality while still playing them with as much emotional detail as Trifonov does in this performance. Truly one of the most amazing performances by one of the greatest classical performers of the 21st century.
I'd argue that Daniil is one of the most talented/skilled classical performers of human history. Granted, it's hard to measure that since before basically 1880, we have no way of truly judging the sound of performance The edit is because my phone autocorrected Daniil to Daniel
Fun fact: Not only did he play all 12 études in one go, but he also played an entire concerto with an orchestra during the same performance as well as other introductory solo pieces. This man is an absolute monster.
To play a single transcendental etude is an achievement by itself, to play the 12 back to back requires a fantastic amount of raw talent, dedication and countless hours of practice, but to play all the set of etude with this amount of ease, control, colours and emotions like Trifonov did is absolutely insane and mind blowing. A living legend, Liszt would be proud of this man!
Indeed, as did the 18-year-old phenom, Yunchan Lim at the 2022 Van Cliburn competition. Unbelievable talents for us to marvel at. th-cam.com/video/KsGLmrR0BVs/w-d-xo.html
@@FelixMendelssohnTheCat OK maybe not for Preludio and Paysage, but overall you get the idea. The fact that they are easier doesn't mean they're easy, by far.
I cannot help but think that here, we are witnessing one of the greatest set of work dedicated to piano, interpreted by one of the greatest young musician of our time. What a sweet time to be alive! Liszt and Trifonov, WHATSUP!
Konstantin Ridaya hard disagree. I believe oftentimes confuse technical skill with interpretive depth these days. When you listen to Trifonov play pieces that require more filling in the blanks we’ll call it, he can’t pull it off like someone like Martha argerich can. He undoubtedly has the technical skill but not the intuitive artistic depth that makes an outstanding performance a legendary one.
@@AlexAlcyonePeople were mocking Liszt because of his facial expressions... not quite 'noble' but rather a description that woukd befit Trifonov's playing, too.
When the sweats of pianist drop down, thousand tons of mass falls down simultaneously in my heart for each drop, because i feel, what it means for the performer at that moment. It was a beautiful performance!!! - Thanks & BRAVO!
His play is full of breathing, singing, swinging, joy, drama, tenderness and above all endless compassion. There is so much space and suspense he let happen between every note, resulting in a unprecedented clarity for this etudes. He masters the bows, as he is every second telling a touching story, never just rushing through. Quite no smearing, uninspired rushs. The awesome technique has one goal, to serve what he has to tell musically. And that seems to be out of the soul of the composer reaching our soul - an experience from soul to soul, the music as carrier. The musicality show here is truly transcendental. Experiencing this live is like a bless from a pure world.
Nah it just makes his whole play look ridiculous. A piano piece isn't a theater play. It doesn't signal compassion or love for the art, it signals extreme discipline and if anything it looks fake as fuck, it actually distracts hugely from his actual playing, which is amazing, it's quite annoying.
this is one of the best solo performances we have on video, of any instrument, ever. the stamina, emotion, and technique required to play all of this in one sitting is nothing short of fucking amazing. if you've played even one of these etudes, you know what i'm talking about. this man is an absolute monster.
@@ariella2658 Ваш Юн Чан Лим-- спортсмен от пианизма.Техника на высшем уровне,а музыкальность, душа,если хотите,где?? Подождите годиков где-то 10 или 13 а там посмотрим...На одной технике и скорости далеко не уедешь. Петербург.
The power at times, the speed at times, the clarity, timbre, and voicing throughout, the endurance and pacing overall; the level of virtuosity happening here is almost beyond belief.
"almost" only because we are actually hearing it!! and yes!! although extremely hard to believe it is of this world, when in reality belongs to the Universe.
This is one of the most impressive performances available on TH-cam, perhaps THE most impressive. Trifonov plays almost as if he were a member of another species; his abilities are so incredible as to almost defy belief. He is perhaps the only pianist I have ever heard who fulfills the meaning of Liszt's title: Transcendental. He has transcended the technique necessary to play this work and broken through to a whole other level of performance where one can finally hear the transcendental meaning of this music.
you don't need to be able to play a piece to write it.... Although I'm more than certain that Liszt was able to play this, I also doubt that he was able to play it like this.
Seriously, it's been like almost 150 years since Lizt died and his virtuosism, innovation and compositive talent to put his insane skills at the service of the composition remain unreachable in my opinion. These studies, (and Mazzepa particularly) are some of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Amazing performance for such amazing music.
Virtuosity was a word you could have used, but you are correct about this youngster's skills. I saw him play Tchaikovski's no.1 at the Hollywood Bowl, and he was absolutely stunning.
@@flouz2 Apparently Liszt and his pupils could play it in 4 minutes flat, which would make it horrifically hard. I think Trifonov takes a bit more time with it and because of it you can actually hear the chords clearly and I much prefer it that way.
Chasse-neige was glorious!! I can almost understand why some reviews have detected danger and an almost "skating to the edge" quality. Though at time it seems frenetic is it always accurate, artistic and most importantly, fits in with the interpretation. Bravo for a superhuman effort of incredible virtuosity!!.
Certainly the greatest live performance of these masterpieces ever filmed. What a feat of power it is. His sonority throughout is a wonder. Never is anything left to happenstance, every voice, sings clear; perfectly differentiated. Which, while a technical marvel, is far more than just that, it is a sign of his musicianship. I have come back to this video several times. His studio recording is also incredibe. One of the all-time best, up there with Arrau's. Trifonov has a true voice in these Etudes.
@@benjaminravail5028 I know Berezovsky's video well. It is perhaps even more of a technical marvel than Trifonov is here, but I don't think he is nearly as musical and colorful, as Trifonov.
For anyone who happens to be wondering, Daniil is a wonderful human being. I was lucky to go to school with him, receive advice from him.... He was always (and still seems to be) so humble and always striving to improve- great and helpful guy, and obviously a brilliant musician.
@@ezrahernandez9317 He went to CIM. Most musicians who’ve attended a conservatory have ran into, were friends with or met touring musicians. Example- Yuja Wang took lessons with my teacher at Aspen, subbing for Argerich’s Tchaikovsky performance, prior to making it big. I also had a friend in the Van Cliburn. It doesn’t matter because he’s not me, nor does it imply that I’m any good. The music world is small though.
This was on TH-cam and then disappeared. I am so relieved and delighted it is back again. You see this chap in shirtsleeves come in and Sit down. Nothing prepares you for the literal explosion of sound that erupts. Liszt at his most difficult under complete control. Just TRANSCENDENTAL.
You are so spot on Mr Dickson. The madman looks, the Gollum fingers and posture, and most of all the heartstopping talent that mystifies us all! Just precioussssssssssssssssss!
Right on the mark. He is a genuine wunderkind. His exquisite performance of slow, meditative passages is the equal of the impossible technical passages. The world is lucky to have him around.
I also remember there was a similar one before. I have the previous copy. Looks like the two are recorded differently, and this one is better in sound quality.
The quality of each note is perfect. That's what I love in Daniil's performance. His technique is so precise. I can hear only ~5 levels of the key volume and can do only 4. Daniil can produce infinitely precise volume control of each key. I can hear each note clearly and perfectly. All thousands of notes. He definitely thinks in sounds and music not in words and images.
Not only to perform it on a technical level, but also, to display it's most inner voicings and melodies. Trifonov interpretation on this set is history being made, full of criativity, the care for the small details even in such etudes as no.3, voicing is superb. To be able to hear someone face this lifelong challenge is just joy to hear and show how far effort and passion can take you.
Haha I knew someone in the comments was gonna say ….”But so so is better” …. This mania of comparing artists , especially in the classical field, is getting kind of tiring and ridiculous actually. We r spoiled because we can see such amazing performances like these in the confort of our houses. Let’s not take it for granted and appreciate all the talents out there who provided such rich variety of sounds and interpretations of centuries old treasured pieces!
@@pritchy007 everybody has a taste and therefore everyone can say his opinion about a best pianist. Nothing wrong here. "But so so is better" said nobody.
@@bboyo8307 he’s not the best yet lol. But I bet he will be considering how insane he is for only being like 18-19 lol. He played Prokofiev tocatta at like 11
I downloaded this from TH-cam when it first appeared shortly after Trifonov played it in Lyon in November 2014. When it was pulled I was horrified to think that only his mediocre version soon afterwards in America was available on TH-cam. But I am glad that I have heard both performances because it proved that occasionally any genius at anything can have just one night in their life when they play out of their skin and give an inspired rendition of a piece of music that one can hardly believe one has heard. Daniil is a brilliant pianist, but that night in central Eastern France something happened to him and he gave one of the greatest interpretations of anything ever played on a piano. I cannot explain such a phenomenon, I can only be thankful and enjoy it.
My Daniil Trifonov is in a class of his own !! He slays these Etudes with his mastery. It feels as if hes stepped off the planet and is enjoying musical with Liszt and the music angels. How beautiful this playing is. Bravo Bravo !!!
Arrau, who was one of the greatest technicians of all times stated once that playing those 12 studies in concert was an almost impossible task. Having studied #10 (and struggled to make it sound only "acceptable"), i can relate. I don't have words to express my admiration to those artists who can achieve such a level.
Oh, how playing the initial level of difficulty of these etudes must have sounded to Arrau. If these editions are difficult, I don't know what he'd say about the S.137, or Douze Grandes Etudes version of these etudes, which were revised to this point because of their initial level of difficulty.
@@vnwa7390 You're leaving multiple comments around here like this isn't impressive. Please get off your high horse. You make it sound so easy, how about you play the "hard versions" of Liszt etudes consecutively and post it on your channel?
@@wholemilky This has nothing to do with whether I think Trifonov's playing here is impressive or not. What I think about his performance is that he had great clarity and technique throughout all of these etudes, although as a pianist he can be hard to watch because of his dramatic and constantly changing facial expressions. I'll repeat what I said to another person spewing ad hominems just as you are in a related comment thread here; this isn't about me making something sound easy or not, and whether or not I can play certain editions of pieces Liszt wrote, revisions, and so on: "They're not necessarily "easy". Liszt simplified them because lots of people couldn't play them (referencing the S.137), and many pianists have confirmed this, from Robert Schumann himself, saying that these etudes were too hard to bother learning, as well as modern day pianists like Marc Andre Hamelin. You can compare them yourself from what I linked. My point was that these are not nearly as difficult as some Liszt pieces, including his 2nd version (this is the 3rd version, all based off of the pseudo S.136 versions) S.137. Using ad hominems to try and dispute my pretty credible factual arguments isn't going to be very effective, thanks." If you need any confirmation, even the Liszt scholar Leslie Howard has described the 8th Grand Etude's beginning, which later became "Wilde Jadg" in the S.139 Transcendental Etudes, as an "impossibility to play". There are a vast number of reasons why people don't record or play the Grand Etudes (nearly as much), but why a lot of pianists play the Transcendental Etudes.
@@vnwa7390 his études d'execution transcendente d'apres paganini (The original paganini études ) are supposed to be harder than the original transcednetal études. Atleast no 6 and especially 4b.
There are many talented artists...but Trifonov has a special gift...a once in a lifetime rarity. I feel sorry for those who are unable to appreciate the magnificence he generates from the keyboard.
Trifonov is crying at the last etude - probably because he's ran out of energy by that time 😅. But then, Liszt would surely be proud of his sacrifice - by playing and completing the 12 transcendental etudes all from his mind. Plus, the encores. I love it! 😍 BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO! Flowers are not yet enough to praise you for all your hardships, Trifonov. I love the way you delivered the etudes. Also, thanks to the uploader of the video 😉.
Unbelievable. I'm making involuntary noises as I listen and watch... Bravo maestro, incredible power and sensitivity in the slower parts! Incredible composition too, judicious dissonance, light and shade, everything you could ask for Xx
This exceptional pianist was dry as a desert when he started playing, but was drenched with an ocean of sweat at the end of his performance. The amount of physical exertion required to play these etudes would be equivalent of running a 20 mile marathon or more! No wonder he shuns wearing a jacket at this performance.....he would be totally dehydrated by the end!!
He has a congenital disease of craniofacial hyperhidrosis. A disorder of the sympathetic nervous system. I is treatable only with surgery but side effects could be worse than the condition
I agree, but I feel he used too much pedal in Mazeppa. I always found that piece much better with very little pedal, like György Cziffra’s performance. Nevertheless, Trifonov is a very talented pianist.
Every day I listen & watch this I'm ever more astounded, profoundly inspired, by this pianist, this composer, the Piano & the power of positive human possibilities.
I was watching a good soccer match when this came on. The match was soon ignored ! I tuned in to WATCH Mazeppa being played by Trifonov... but it was his manner of playing etude no2 that grabbed me the most. I loved Mazeppa for sure, but it was etude no2 that blew me away. Wonder if even Liszt himself would have put so much of himself into playing it. Trifonov is a God given gift to all humanity.
Watching etude no10 hugely impressed me too. Next time around I'll close my eyes and listen just to the piano. But this time, I tuned in for the visual spectacle. I'd love Trifonov to turn his hand to Liszts Hungarian Rhapsodies, and the piano transcriptions of Beethovens 9 symphonies. Cziffra and Katsaris are the yardstick recordings of these, but I'm sure Trifanov could usurp them.
It's fantastic that we have not one, but two magical pianists in Yunchan and Daniel at the same time. They both have made historically important documents in their recordings of these incredibly difficult studies of Liszt. I know I'll be eagerly listening to their output over the coming years.
I downloaded this from You tube when it first appeared shortly after Trifonov played it in Lyon in November 2014.

Daniil Trifonov, what a fantastic performance. 🌷🌷🌷 (Holland 2024) M. Ansarin thank you for sharing ! 🌷♥ I have put this on Face-Book and saved it on my computer so it will never be lost again.
This is a performer entirely impassioned and invested in every moment and movement. His heart even eclipses his technical skill which is indescribable.
Merci infiniment d'avoir posté cette vidéo éblouissante de Daniil Trifonov ! Une interprétation qui arrache à mon âme des émotions inconnues ! Quel génie absolu ! Quelle expressivité transcendante !
Totally agree! Harmonie du soir brought me here. I heard it in the ballet „Mayerling“ in an orchestrated version and it took me a while to recognize the piece. What’s interesting is that in the ballet it really matches the plot so well, although the ballet was created 100 years after Liszt. But it’s all in it- love, desire, desperation, darkness, ecstasy, joy, madness...
I come to this video just for that piece, over and over ... There are plenty of other great recordings of the other movements, but none that match this Harmonies du soir
I wish I could see and hear all the great interpretations of this work but with all due respect, I don´t need another one. His total control of music power, speed, staccatos, legatos, rubatos, and overall tonality is absolutely incredible, This guy is my favorite pianist today, perhaps the greatest in 30 or 40 years.
Trifonov is an icon. But I think Yunchan Lim's performance is worth a listen. I believe Yunchan plays these etudes better than everyone including Cziffra and Wild.
All of you who are criticising his expression have never played on such a level, this is something that will carry you away, technically and emotionally, it will put your mind, your reason out of your head while you’re playing, it’s a different state of consciousness
I doubt even Trifonov can play the original versions of the transcendental yet alone those of the Paganini études( a few of the Paganini ones are impossible).
@@johnjohnhpiano He doesn't, he plays the simplified versions that everyone plays.Those aren't the 1838 études d'execution transcendente d'apres paganini(which are.the original ones) No 4b ( th-cam.com/video/uoudt6eApKo/w-d-xo.html ) and no 6 ( th-cam.com/video/-y5h0jCnvFM/w-d-xo.html ) are the hardest ones, which are impossible at speed The entirty of 4 is impossible Whereas in 6, playing 1:57 - 2:13 as well as 2:31 - 3:04 (many other parts are also much more complicated here than in the simplified/ famous version) is impossible at speed
Not only do you have to commit this to memory, then you have to have total mastery over your ten fingers. Wide leaps, double octaves, pedal control, and the soul of an angel. Bravo Mr Trifanov, liszt would be impressed !
@@BluePiano1 LMAO....yeah I don't know what ever possessed me to type that. This isn't the 1700's, i'd never say that in person for ANY reason, hahah.
The passion from pianists is like no other instrument. The absolute passion in their playing and emotion is like no other . Something about the piano touches our heart and souls like nothing else. I don’t know what it is, it’s mystifying
I have listened to this performance at least 10 times the whole way through. I have yet to find another who plays these masterpieces with such clarity and emotion as does Daniil Trifonov. Truly spectacular in all regards.
Trifonov is still one of my heros. But truly, the 18 yo Yunchan Lim played them better than Trifonov at the 2022 Cliburn Competition. Trifonov is still the most expressive. But when it comes to speed, accuracy and command, Yunchan just set a new standard. For the record, I too, am a concert pianist who has studied these monuments études.
@@tonyventura4605 I shall definitely have to check out that performance. Thank you for sharing. Also, it’s very impressive that you have studied these Études. Truly an impressive feat in and of itself. I’m still a little ways away from being even able to approach these. 😂
KISSIN PLAYED THEM MUCH BETTER THAN THIS AT LESS THAN HALF HIS AGE, AT 15, IN FACT HE PLAYED THEM BETTER THAN ANYBODY EVER HAS, AT JUST 15, STILL HIS GREATEST WORK, AND GREATEST CLAIM TO FAME, AS THE GREATEST PIANIST IN THE RECORDING AGE, BUT THIS GUY HAS WORKED VERY HARD TO BE GREAT AS WELL, BUT NO ONE CAN TOUCH KISSIN ON THESE ETUDES, ESPECIALLY IN HIS PRODIGY PRIME, AT AGE 15 !!! HE IS A MYTHICAL FIGMENT, CERTAINLY NOT OF THIS WORLD WHERE MERE HUMANS LIVE !!!
Magnifique 🤩 Technique is impeccable. Notice how the bottom range of the Steinway never sounds muddy. He knows how to play a Steinway-you can’t fight it, you have to stroke it, otherwise it will fight you all through the performance. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏🤩👏👏👏😅
Daniil hace que la música de Liszt sea más hermosa y más espectacular. Le saca al piano esos sonidos divinos que envuelven el espíritu y te transportan fuera de este mundo. Gracias Daniil Bravo!!!!
The best young pianist out there. His fingers move as if weaving new skies and new suns in some ethereal unseen palettes of sound, so expressive and sacrificial that you wish to follow and fly up behind his souring spirit! Bravo! X
Daniil Trifanov is the new generation wizard! The moment he puts his hands on the keyboard the Heavens open! That's the greatness of this remarkable young! I have heard him and I was simply spell bound at his incredible talent! Anyone not heard him please do go for his Live Concerts and you will have a treat waiting you!!!
Mohammad Ansarin, TH-cam took this away from me. I wish to tell you how grateful I am to you for sharing this with us. I can only hope this will never disappear. Oh, my heart! Thank you.
he is a genious who plays with such intensity, sometimes like a child, then like a virtuose, and makes my soul cry. probably the best interprets I ever had the privilege to hear. Even better than Emile Gilels .
To even play some of the tougher etudes here like Mazeppa and Feux Follets is a remarkable achievement in itself. But to play all 12 etudes consecutively without a break is incomprehendably difficult. A testament to what can be done when genius meets high work ethic.
This is the most stunning performance of anything I have ever heard. It's majestic ; Daniil Trifonov makes music where others make noise. Every nuance is taken into account. Nobody else gets anywhere near this level of perfection. I feel privileged to have heard these études. Thank you for posting.
The first time I listened to this I didn’t care for it. I thought it sounded chaotic and crazy. The more I listened the more I appreciated it. Now I hear the genius of both the composer and the performer. It is a very deep piece. 💯
That's a key attribute of good music. On the first listen, it sounds flat-out atrocious. On the thousandth listen is when you appreciate it to an infinite degree.
Absolutely mind blowing! This man is practically defying the laws of human anatomy! I just would love to know how long it took Daniil Trifonov to learn Liszt's Transcendental Etudes to what looks like perfect technique. Months, years, decades? Just wow! Incredible stuff!
Trifonov is certifiably insane. I saw him play Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic and it was the most exhilarating musical performance of my entire life.
Arrivés à ce niveau, peut-on encore établir des comparaisons entre les compétences des virtuoses ? Ils sont tous épatants, avec leur propre ressenti et Daniil Trifonov est "transcendental". Il "colle" au piano, exprime sa passion dans tous ses gestes, grimaces et attitudes. On voit qu'il éprouve un plaisir immense à jouer. Que de sacrifices pour en arriver là: des heures de travail pour maîtriser la technique, le toucher et l'expressivité. Les mains m'en tombent, si je puis dire! Toute mon admiration pour vous, Mr. Trifonov ! Préservez-vous de toute comparaison avec qui que ce soit ! Vous êtes vous, unique et exceptionnel ... Mille bravos!
Cet interprète est absolument incroyable, en plus de son talent extraordinaire, il a une énergie hors du commun. Lizst doit lui souffler à l'oreille pour qu'il ait tant de virtuosité. Bravo, Monsieur Trifonov. Votre interprétation est splendide. Hors du commun.
An excitingly daunting task to play all 12 in one sitting. But it was done so well! It was thrilling to see he jump up off the bench! I now know to play the Transcendental Etudes, one must be in a trance-like state of mind, and you could clearly see that in his face and playing! BRAVO young man!
Un tsunami musical. Chaque note est habitée et la virtuosité n’est pas démonstrative mais totalement vouée au message musical. Un TRÈS grand et VRAI musicien !
Trifonov... Unmatched. I have such reverence for Trifonov. *THIS* is pure musicianship. Raw, vulnerable, magical. He plays with 100 percent of his passion and energy, and has such a "transcendental" range of color and tone. Truly outstanding. Regardless of accuracy in notes, (though I didn't catch a single wrong note) his understanding of the piece surpasses everything of this world. Bravo!!!!!
depends on wich etudes, Kissin has the best n8, and 5, Ovchinokov has the best 4th and 12th, 6th, 2nd . Cho has I would say an equal n10 with trifonov. And Trifonov has the best 11th
Даниил Трифонов самый яркий пианист 21 века. В его игре поражает не только виртуозность, но и талант музыканта. Он умеет глубоко переживать музыку, вслушиваться в каждый звук ,в каждую фразу.Пианист владеет красивым звуком. От его игры исходит сильная энергетика, которая передаётся слушателям. Ему доступны произведения разных жанров и разных стилей. Благодарю пианиста за его талант и пианистическое мастерство. Браво!!!!!

Not many other musicians in the world could sit there and play the entire transcendental etudes to that high a quality while still playing them with as much emotional detail as Trifonov does in this performance. Truly one of the most amazing performances by one of the greatest classical performers of the 21st century.

Nah it just makes his whole play look ridiculous. A piano piece isn't a theater play. It doesn't signal compassion or love for the art, it signals extreme discipline and if anything it looks fake as fuck, it actually distracts hugely from his actual playing, which is amazing, it's quite annoying.
sven rose what List had to say
this is one of the best solo performances we have on video, of any instrument, ever. the stamina, emotion, and technique required to play all of this in one sitting is nothing short of fucking amazing.
if you've played even one of these etudes, you know what i'm talking about. this man is an absolute monster.
How do you think this compares to Yunchan Lim performance, just asking
@@ariella2658 Ваш Юн Чан Лим-- спортсмен от пианизма.Техника на высшем уровне,а музыкальность, душа,если хотите,где?? Подождите годиков где-то 10 или 13 а там посмотрим...На одной технике и скорости далеко не уедешь.

@user-mh2ey9px6n English? Sry don't understand n can't translate
@@ariella2658His technique is amazing, but his believes his musicality is lacking, he'd give Lim a decade in order to mature interms of musicality.
@@ariella2658 The reviews are saying Yunchan plays them even better...
The power at times, the speed at times, the clarity, timbre, and voicing throughout, the endurance and pacing overall; the level of virtuosity happening here is almost beyond belief.
"almost" only because we are actually hearing it!! and yes!! although extremely hard to believe it is of this world, when in reality belongs to the Universe.
@nandotroyя с Вами глубоко соглсна. Даниил-- пианист космического уровня.

Бог Даниилу в помощь. Если дан Дар такой мощи,то и поддержка нужна равновеликая.
This is one of the most impressive performances available on TH-cam, perhaps THE most impressive. Trifonov plays almost as if he were a member of another species; his abilities are so incredible as to almost defy belief. He is perhaps the only pianist I have ever heard who fulfills the meaning of Liszt's title: Transcendental. He has transcended the technique necessary to play this work and broken through to a whole other level of performance where one can finally hear the transcendental meaning of this music.
now think of Liszt..being the actual composer of this music how HUGE and INCREDIBLE he was compared to all of these "mere" performer..
Abundance
Transcendental meaning...kek
A comparer avec Cziffra .
you don't need to be able to play a piece to write it.... Although I'm more than certain that Liszt was able to play this, I also doubt that he was able to play it like this.
Seriously, it's been like almost 150 years since Lizt died and his virtuosism, innovation and compositive talent to put his insane skills at the service of the composition remain unreachable in my opinion. These studies, (and Mazzepa particularly) are some of the most beautiful pieces ever written. Amazing performance for such amazing music.
everyone mention mazeppa but Wilde Jagd is one hell of a defying piece........
Virtuosity was a word you could have used, but you are correct about this youngster's skills. I saw him play Tchaikovski's no.1 at the Hollywood Bowl, and he was absolutely stunning.
Mazeppa is a beautiful piece.
@@flouz2 Apparently Liszt and his pupils could play it in 4 minutes flat, which would make it horrifically hard. I think Trifonov takes a bit more time with it and because of it you can actually hear the chords clearly and I much prefer it that way.
There were the bread-and-butter pieces and then there were these. Liszt, I never knew you until now. Thank you , Trifonov, for the introduction.
Chasse-neige was glorious!! I can almost understand why some reviews have detected danger and an almost "skating to the edge" quality. Though at time it seems frenetic is it always accurate, artistic and most importantly, fits in with the interpretation. Bravo for a superhuman effort of incredible virtuosity!!.
Certainly the greatest live performance of these masterpieces ever filmed. What a feat of power it is. His sonority throughout is a wonder. Never is anything left to happenstance, every voice, sings clear; perfectly differentiated. Which, while a technical marvel, is far more than just that, it is a sign of his musicianship. I have come back to this video several times.
His studio recording is also incredibe. One of the all-time best, up there with Arrau's. Trifonov has a true voice in these Etudes.
please check Berezovski rendition at La Roque d'Anthéron in 2002 if I remember well
@@benjaminravail5028 I know Berezovsky's video well. It is perhaps even more of a technical marvel than Trifonov is here, but I don't think he is nearly as musical and colorful, as Trifonov.
For anyone who happens to be wondering, Daniil is a wonderful human being. I was lucky to go to school with him, receive advice from him.... He was always (and still seems to be) so humble and always striving to improve- great and helpful guy, and obviously a brilliant musician.
And besides, I have been told thay he is also a wonderful composer
can i get lessons from him 😅
THEN, IT IS ONE OF THOSE PERSON WHO WITH THEIR ONLY EXISTENCE, MAKE THIS WORLD BETTER.
source: trust me bro
@@ezrahernandez9317 He went to CIM. Most musicians who’ve attended a conservatory have ran into, were friends with or met touring musicians. Example- Yuja Wang took lessons with my teacher at Aspen, subbing for Argerich’s Tchaikovsky performance, prior to making it big. I also had a friend in the Van Cliburn. It doesn’t matter because he’s not me, nor does it imply that I’m any good. The music world is small though.
the most astonishing performance i’ve ever watched
This was on TH-cam and then disappeared.
I am so relieved and delighted it is back again.
You see this chap in shirtsleeves come in and
Sit down. Nothing prepares you for the literal
explosion of sound that erupts. Liszt at his most
difficult under complete control. Just TRANSCENDENTAL.
This comment is my favorite of all time.
Actually around the time this video was taken down there was an mp3 file of it that circulated, so I've been able to enjoy it for the duration! xD
You are so spot on Mr Dickson. The madman looks, the Gollum fingers and posture, and most of all the heartstopping talent that mystifies us all! Just precioussssssssssssssssss!
Right on the mark. He is a genuine wunderkind. His exquisite performance of slow, meditative passages is the equal of the impossible technical passages. The world is lucky to have him around.
I also remember there was a similar one before. I have the previous copy. Looks like the two are recorded differently, and this one is better in sound quality.
a sheer JOY of youthful energy combined with an exceptional gifts of dexterity, pianism & musicianship !!!!
The quality of each note is perfect. That's what I love in Daniil's performance. His technique is so precise. I can hear only ~5 levels of the key volume and can do only 4. Daniil can produce infinitely precise volume control of each key.
I can hear each note clearly and perfectly. All thousands of notes.
He definitely thinks in sounds and music not in words and images.
Not only to perform it on a technical level, but also, to display it's most inner voicings and melodies. Trifonov interpretation on this set is history being made, full of criativity, the care for the small details even in such etudes as no.3, voicing is superb. To be able to hear someone face this lifelong challenge is just joy to hear and show how far effort and passion can take you.
Sie sprechen mir aus dem Herzen. Welch schöner und treffender Kommentar !❤
He is a genius ! The best classical pianist in the world ,beautiful hands, incredible technique ,sensible ...
Lots of success in your future!
Alexander Malofeev is for me genius no 1. But this young man is such a great virtuoso aswell. Nobody on earth can imagine that
have you seen M.A. Hamelin?
Haha I knew someone in the comments was gonna say ….”But so so is better” …. This mania of comparing artists , especially in the classical field, is getting kind of tiring and ridiculous actually. We r spoiled because we can see such amazing performances like these in the confort of our houses. Let’s not take it for granted and appreciate all the talents out there who provided such rich variety of sounds and interpretations of centuries old treasured pieces!
@@pritchy007 everybody has a taste and therefore everyone can say his opinion about a best pianist. Nothing wrong here. "But so so is better" said nobody.
@@bboyo8307 he’s not the best yet lol. But I bet he will be considering how insane he is for only being like 18-19 lol. He played Prokofiev tocatta at like 11
Daniil is the finest young pianist there is. To play all of this in a live performance and so magnificently and sensitively is super-human.
Stephen Hill👏👏👏👏👏💕
Insane performance, including the encore. His color palette is out of this world. He never plays an uninteresting note. Bravo.
I downloaded this from TH-cam when it first appeared shortly after Trifonov played it in Lyon in November 2014. When it was pulled I was horrified to think that only his mediocre version soon afterwards in America was available on TH-cam. But I am glad that I have heard both performances because it proved that occasionally any genius at anything can have just one night in their life when they play out of their skin and give an inspired rendition of a piece of music that one can hardly believe one has heard. Daniil is a brilliant pianist, but that night in central Eastern France something happened to him and he gave one of the greatest interpretations of anything ever played on a piano. I cannot explain such a phenomenon, I can only be thankful and enjoy it.
Had same exact story when the recording was pulled around 2015 :)
My Daniil Trifonov is in a class of his own !! He slays these Etudes with his mastery. It feels as if hes stepped off the planet and is enjoying musical with Liszt and the music angels. How beautiful this playing is. Bravo Bravo !!!
Arrau, who was one of the greatest technicians of all times stated once that playing those 12 studies in concert was an almost impossible task. Having studied #10 (and struggled to make it sound only "acceptable"), i can relate. I don't have words to express my admiration to those artists who can achieve such a level.
Oh, how playing the initial level of difficulty of these etudes must have sounded to Arrau. If these editions are difficult, I don't know what he'd say about the S.137, or Douze Grandes Etudes version of these etudes, which were revised to this point because of their initial level of difficulty.
@@vnwa7390 You're leaving multiple comments around here like this isn't impressive. Please get off your high horse. You make it sound so easy, how about you play the "hard versions" of Liszt etudes consecutively and post it on your channel?
@@wholemilky This has nothing to do with whether I think Trifonov's playing here is impressive or not. What I think about his performance is that he had great clarity and technique throughout all of these etudes, although as a pianist he can be hard to watch because of his dramatic and constantly changing facial expressions.
I'll repeat what I said to another person spewing ad hominems just as you are in a related comment thread here;
this isn't about me making something sound easy or not, and whether or not I can play certain editions of pieces Liszt wrote, revisions, and so on:
"They're not necessarily "easy". Liszt simplified them because lots of people couldn't play them (referencing the S.137), and many pianists have confirmed this, from Robert Schumann himself, saying that these etudes were too hard to bother learning, as well as modern day pianists like Marc Andre Hamelin. You can compare them yourself from what I linked. My point was that these are not nearly as difficult as some Liszt pieces, including his 2nd version (this is the 3rd version, all based off of the pseudo S.136 versions) S.137. Using ad hominems to try and dispute my pretty credible factual arguments isn't going to be very effective, thanks."
If you need any confirmation, even the Liszt scholar Leslie Howard has described the 8th Grand Etude's beginning, which later became "Wilde Jadg" in the S.139 Transcendental Etudes, as an "impossibility to play".
There are a vast number of reasons why people don't record or play the Grand Etudes (nearly as much), but why a lot of pianists play the Transcendental Etudes.
Batzorig Vaanchig these are simplified??? So there’s a harder version of these pieces ??!? No way bro
@@vnwa7390 his études d'execution transcendente d'apres paganini (The original paganini études ) are supposed to be harder than the original transcednetal études.
Atleast no 6 and especially 4b.
There are many talented artists...but Trifonov has a special gift...a once in a lifetime rarity. I feel sorry for those who are unable to appreciate the magnificence he generates from the keyboard.
I hope he stays mentally strong. Such a virtuoso gift can also be dangerous
Paysage was just so moving and flawless. Favorite performance of any piece of music i have ever heard.
Trifonov is crying at the last etude - probably because he's ran out of energy by that time 😅. But then, Liszt would surely be proud of his sacrifice - by playing and completing the 12 transcendental etudes all from his mind.
Plus, the encores. I love it! 😍
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO!
Flowers are not yet enough to praise you for all your hardships, Trifonov. I love the way you delivered the etudes. Also, thanks to the uploader of the video 😉.
Unbelievable.
I'm making involuntary noises as I listen and watch... Bravo maestro, incredible power and sensitivity in the slower parts! Incredible composition too, judicious dissonance, light and shade, everything you could ask for Xx
This exceptional pianist was dry as a desert when he started playing, but was drenched with an ocean of sweat at the end of his performance. The amount of physical exertion required to play these etudes would be equivalent of running a 20 mile marathon or more! No wonder he shuns wearing a jacket at this performance.....he would be totally dehydrated by the end!!
Running a marathon is easy - do not smoke and run. Your head does not have to think.
He has a congenital disease of craniofacial hyperhidrosis. A disorder of the sympathetic nervous system. I is treatable only with surgery but side effects could be worse than the condition
@@raymchenry9094 is this proven or are you just diagnosing him because he sweats too much?
By definition, a marathon is 26.2 miles long.
Yes,yes
I keep coming back to this performance. It's just such an unbelievable performance.
Amit Mish'an yep.
Он гениален!!!!👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
It is. So much better than his recording on DG.
@@mellismellis7765 Not as good as Yunchan Lim, who just won the Cliburn though..
I agree, but I feel he used too much pedal in Mazeppa. I always found that piece much better with very little pedal, like György Cziffra’s performance. Nevertheless, Trifonov is a very talented pianist.
He just make me cry with the Harmonies du Soir. Sorry...I'm speachless.
Every day I listen & watch this I'm ever more astounded, profoundly inspired, by this pianist, this composer, the Piano & the power of positive human possibilities.
I was watching a good soccer match when this came on. The match was soon ignored ! I tuned in to WATCH Mazeppa being played by Trifonov... but it was his manner of playing etude no2 that grabbed me the most. I loved Mazeppa for sure, but it was etude no2 that blew me away. Wonder if even Liszt himself would have put so much of himself into playing it. Trifonov is a God given gift to all humanity.
Watching etude no10 hugely impressed me too. Next time around I'll close my eyes and listen just to the piano. But this time, I tuned in for the visual spectacle. I'd love Trifonov to turn his hand to Liszts Hungarian Rhapsodies, and the piano transcriptions of Beethovens 9 symphonies. Cziffra and Katsaris are the yardstick recordings of these, but I'm sure Trifanov could usurp them.
@@GouganeBarra-u4t for me it's the climax of harmonies du soir. It's so exhilarating when he plays it
Yunchan plays it even bettee. Hear it to believe it...
@@annettefallon1652I listened to it, still like this more :) but that is fine because what you (and I) like more is sUbjEcTiVe ;)
It's fantastic that we have not one, but two magical pianists in Yunchan and Daniel at the same time. They both have made historically important documents in their recordings of these incredibly difficult studies of Liszt. I know I'll be eagerly listening to their output over the coming years.
I downloaded this from You tube when it first appeared shortly after Trifonov played it in Lyon in November 2014.

You are totally a genius!! Most amazing pianist I've ever seen in my 70 years! Thank you so much!
Totalment d'acord!!! Es increïble i emocionant!
Musique grandiose. BRAVOOO!
Grand merci !
This is a performer entirely impassioned and invested in every moment and movement.
His heart even eclipses his technical skill which is indescribable.
Troy Chenier Es Fantàstic i emociona!!!
Merci infiniment d'avoir posté cette vidéo éblouissante de Daniil Trifonov ! Une interprétation qui arrache à mon âme des émotions inconnues ! Quel génie absolu ! Quelle expressivité transcendante !
Daniel vous êtes non seulement un pianiste extraordinaire mais vous êtes un très grand musicien 1000 fois bravo et merci
oui
Both Liszt and Trifonov are truly out of this world
Harmonies du soir doesn't get enough recognition. It's one of the most magical pieces ever and Trifonov played beautifully!
I think because it's one of the longer etudes
Totally agree!
Harmonie du soir brought me here. I heard it in the ballet „Mayerling“ in an orchestrated version and it took me a while to recognize the piece. What’s interesting is that in the ballet it really matches the plot so well, although the ballet was created 100 years after Liszt. But it’s all in it- love, desire, desperation, darkness, ecstasy, joy, madness...
I come to this video just for that piece, over and over ... There are plenty of other great recordings of the other movements, but none that match this Harmonies du soir
I totally agree with you bro! An other world
Harmonies du soir is my favorite of the TEs (Vision, another underrated etude, is my 2nd favorite).
I wish I could see and hear all the great interpretations of this work but with all due respect, I don´t need another one.
His total control of music power, speed, staccatos, legatos, rubatos, and overall tonality is absolutely incredible,
This guy is my favorite pianist today, perhaps the greatest in 30 or 40 years.
Trifonov is an icon. But I think Yunchan Lim's performance is worth a listen. I believe Yunchan plays these etudes better than everyone including Cziffra and Wild.
All the 12 in a performance? That's really hard.
E E A dude twinkle twinkle lil star is harder
one could say it is... transcendental.
@@__jan You nailed it.
It's really hard just to have one of those etudes in the performance...
I saw the guy doing the thing in La Jolla, he is like a young Horowitz.
Даниил Трифонов, браво!!!!👏👏👏Это гениальнейшее исполнение! Вы величайший пианист! Слушать вас - огромное удовольствие!!!🥰
This was the first recording I had ever seen and heard of Trifonov - imagine how I felt! It was like hearing these pieces for the first time.
I paused the video in the middle so he can take a break
Owen Wang 😂😂😂 That’s so kind of you! 😉
@@mathildewesendonck7225 😂
That made me laugh! 😂
Really awesome.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
All of you who are criticising his expression have never played on such a level, this is something that will carry you away, technically and emotionally, it will put your mind, your reason out of your head while you’re playing, it’s a different state of consciousness
I absolutely love all the emotion he puts into it, especially at 48:46
i agree, but thats why a listen to brams
a good performer isnt influenced by the emotion of his performance. theyre in control of what theyre doing. this isnt improv.
@@WACHULUKNAT You definitely need emotion even if your a concert pianist. You can have both emotion and control, but i understand what your saying.
Yes look at berezovsky playing these, far better and not much facial contortions like smeagol
Great rendition of these etudes. His Deutsche Grammophon recording was superb.
One of the very few pianists WHO become one with the greatness of Liszt..
Океан эмоций !Чудо! Здоровья Вам, Даниил,на долгие годы!👑💥🎇🔥🌠❤️🌹👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow. Liszt set the bar high. Trifonov jumped right over it.
Lena Next step is writing music like this.
I doubt even Trifonov can play the original versions of the transcendental yet alone those of the Paganini études( a few of the Paganini ones are impossible).
@@dhruvsawant9234 he did play them, just look up paganini etudes and the first result is trifonov playing them
@@johnjohnhpiano He doesn't, he plays the simplified versions that everyone plays.Those aren't the 1838 études d'execution transcendente d'apres paganini(which are.the original ones)
No 4b ( th-cam.com/video/uoudt6eApKo/w-d-xo.html ) and no 6 ( th-cam.com/video/-y5h0jCnvFM/w-d-xo.html ) are the hardest ones, which are impossible at speed
The entirty of 4 is impossible
Whereas in 6, playing 1:57 - 2:13 as well as 2:31 - 3:04 (many other parts are also much more complicated here than in the simplified/ famous version) is impossible at speed
If the bar includes composition then Trifonov is obviously a mere disciple of the maestro. A superb one, however.
Not only do you have to commit this to memory, then you have to have total mastery over your ten fingers. Wide leaps, double octaves, pedal control, and the soul of an angel. Bravo Mr Trifanov, liszt would be impressed !
The amount of passion, heart, soul, blood, sweat, and tears put into this performance is unmatchable. Breathtaking.
I can only pray that I never lose THIS one. It is sheer genius.
From 48:20 - 49:00 ...tears to my eyes, a raw passion I have never heard or seen before on the pianoforte.
48:47 this man is truly a monster (in a good way ofc). Never heard such passion in a piece before.
Překrásné 🌼 jedinečné pojetí, procítění... nepopsatelné...cítím...s úctou 🤍🕊️

@@BluePiano1 LMAO....yeah I don't know what ever possessed me to type that. This isn't the 1700's, i'd never say that in person for ANY reason, hahah.
The passion from pianists is like no other instrument. The absolute passion in their playing and emotion is like no other . Something about the piano touches our heart and souls like nothing else. I don’t know what it is, it’s mystifying
Влюблена в игру Даниила. Слушаю игру каждый день. Чудо.Необыкновенно талантлив. Браво! Браво
I have listened to this performance at least 10 times the whole way through. I have yet to find another who plays these masterpieces with such clarity and emotion as does Daniil Trifonov. Truly spectacular in all regards.
Trifonov is still one of my heros. But truly, the 18 yo Yunchan Lim played them better than Trifonov at the 2022 Cliburn Competition.
Trifonov is still the most expressive. But when it comes to speed, accuracy and command, Yunchan just set a new standard.
For the record, I too, am a concert pianist who has studied these monuments études.
@@tonyventura4605 I shall definitely have to check out that performance. Thank you for sharing. Also, it’s very impressive that you have studied these Études. Truly an impressive feat in and of itself. I’m still a little ways away from being even able to approach these. 😂
KISSIN PLAYED THEM MUCH BETTER THAN THIS AT LESS THAN HALF HIS AGE, AT 15, IN FACT HE PLAYED THEM BETTER THAN ANYBODY EVER HAS, AT JUST 15, STILL HIS GREATEST WORK, AND GREATEST CLAIM TO FAME, AS THE GREATEST PIANIST IN THE RECORDING AGE, BUT THIS GUY HAS WORKED VERY HARD TO BE GREAT AS WELL, BUT NO ONE CAN TOUCH KISSIN ON THESE ETUDES, ESPECIALLY IN HIS PRODIGY PRIME, AT AGE 15 !!! HE IS A MYTHICAL FIGMENT, CERTAINLY NOT OF THIS WORLD WHERE MERE HUMANS LIVE !!!
OMG! OMG! OMG! A gift from the gods! Nothing less!
I look forward to hearing his original compositions
Oh my god I’m speechless. This playing is just … perfect. I don’t know how I forgot about him. It’s been so long. He’s a master

from FRANCE 24 jan 2022
This is my favorite classical piano performance on YT! What virtuosity and courage, what mastery of these BEASTLY works!
Agree!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Magnifique 🤩
Technique is impeccable. Notice how the bottom range of the Steinway never sounds muddy. He knows how to play a Steinway-you can’t fight it, you have to stroke it, otherwise it will fight you all through the performance.
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏🤩👏👏👏😅
Simply astonishing. He's fast yet retains the crystalline clarity of Bolet. I didn't think that possible.
Exquisite! The best interpretation of these extremely difficult etudes.
One of the best pianists ever
Don't even know what to write...he is a beast...a true genius. Thank you for this wonderful music.
Daniil hace que la música de Liszt sea más hermosa y más espectacular. Le saca al piano esos sonidos divinos que envuelven el espíritu y te transportan fuera de este mundo. Gracias Daniil Bravo!!!!
Rina Cravero.Has oido los estudios,me alegro,saludos desde Málaga España..
The best young pianist out there. His fingers move as if weaving new skies and new suns in some ethereal unseen palettes of sound, so expressive and sacrificial that you wish to follow and fly up behind his souring spirit! Bravo! X
Daniil Trifanov is the new generation wizard! The moment he puts his hands on the keyboard the Heavens open! That's the greatness of this remarkable young! I have heard him and I was simply spell bound at his incredible talent! Anyone not heard him please do go for his Live Concerts and you will have a treat waiting you!!!
He is amazing pianist ! Chapeau ! Bravo !
Mohammad Ansarin, TH-cam took this away from me. I wish to tell you how grateful I am to you for sharing this with us. I can only hope this will never disappear. Oh, my heart! Thank you.
Wonderful performance from one of the best young pianists around atm.
he is a genious who plays with such intensity, sometimes like a child, then like a virtuose, and makes my soul cry. probably the best interprets I ever had the privilege to hear. Even better than Emile Gilels .
To even play some of the tougher etudes here like Mazeppa and Feux Follets is a remarkable achievement in itself. But to play all 12 etudes consecutively without a break is incomprehendably difficult. A testament to what can be done when genius meets high work ethic.
The healthy human hand can do pretty much anything on a keyboard, along with a brilliant mind that always thinks ahead.
@@djmotise With a LOT LOT LOT LOT of practice, determination, and focus.
This is the most stunning performance of anything I have ever heard. It's majestic ; Daniil Trifonov makes music where others make noise. Every nuance is taken into account. Nobody else gets anywhere near this level of perfection. I feel privileged to have heard these études. Thank you for posting.
The first time I listened to this I didn’t care for it. I thought it sounded chaotic and crazy. The more I listened the more I appreciated it. Now I hear the genius of both the composer and the performer. It is a very deep piece. 💯
That's a key attribute of good music. On the first listen, it sounds flat-out atrocious. On the thousandth listen is when you appreciate it to an infinite degree.
It’s 12 pieces
Absolutely mind blowing! This man is practically defying the laws of human anatomy! I just would love to know how long it took Daniil Trifonov to learn Liszt's Transcendental Etudes to what looks like perfect technique. Months, years, decades? Just wow! Incredible stuff!

All his life.
Kabiee Hlalo very true, I don't know anyone else that was able to execute all those. do you?
he memorized it all in just 3 months. now beat that.
Trifonov is certifiably insane. I saw him play Beethoven's Third Piano Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic and it was the most exhilarating musical performance of my entire life.
I got to talk to him after a concert. He's so quiet and humble, almost seems shy.
stellar performance. Thank you for uploading and thanks Daniil Trifonov.
He is the marvelous pianist who plays all 12 transcendental etudes in one concert. So cool.
Arrivés à ce niveau, peut-on encore établir des comparaisons entre les compétences des virtuoses ? Ils sont tous épatants, avec leur propre ressenti et Daniil Trifonov est "transcendental". Il "colle" au piano, exprime sa passion dans tous ses gestes, grimaces et attitudes. On voit qu'il éprouve un plaisir immense à jouer. Que de sacrifices pour en arriver là: des heures de travail pour maîtriser la technique, le toucher et l'expressivité. Les mains m'en tombent, si je puis dire!
Toute mon admiration pour vous, Mr. Trifonov ! Préservez-vous de toute comparaison avec qui que ce soit ! Vous êtes vous, unique et exceptionnel ... Mille bravos!
it's really incredible!
What a wonderful pianist!!!
Thanks to Mohammad Ansarin for posting
Cet interprète est absolument incroyable, en plus de son talent extraordinaire, il a une énergie hors du commun. Lizst doit lui souffler à l'oreille pour qu'il ait tant de virtuosité. Bravo, Monsieur Trifonov. Votre interprétation est splendide. Hors du commun.
An excitingly daunting task to play all 12 in one sitting. But it was done so well! It was thrilling to see he jump up off the bench! I now know to play the Transcendental Etudes, one must be in a trance-like state of mind, and you could clearly see that in his face and playing! BRAVO young man!
Un tsunami musical. Chaque note est habitée et la virtuosité n’est pas démonstrative mais totalement vouée au message musical. Un TRÈS grand et VRAI musicien !
6:15 in and im already in tears, i love liszt so much for this incredible music
Can we just appreciate the incredible and virtually unique talent it takes to play arguably the most difficult set of music without stopping?
Hearing Harmonies du Soir immediately takes me to heaven, it's insane.
That’s one of the most beautiful and heart-soaring piano pieces ever
same but for number 10
Richter is the best in this etude:listen to the Sofia recital.
I was introduced to Liszt by this performance
And, what do you think?
@@mrthirdeyeching It was amazing
And dropping Reflects dans l'eau as encore in France, superb!
Trifonov... Unmatched. I have such reverence for Trifonov. *THIS* is pure musicianship. Raw, vulnerable, magical. He plays with 100 percent of his passion and energy, and has such a "transcendental" range of color and tone. Truly outstanding. Regardless of accuracy in notes, (though I didn't catch a single wrong note) his understanding of the piece surpasses everything of this world. Bravo!!!!!
Yes, but can he play Mozart?
depends on wich etudes, Kissin has the best n8, and 5, Ovchinokov has the best 4th and 12th, 6th, 2nd . Cho has I would say an equal n10 with trifonov. And Trifonov has the best 11th
Даниил Трифонов самый яркий пианист 21 века. В его игре поражает не только виртуозность, но и талант музыканта. Он умеет глубоко переживать музыку, вслушиваться в каждый звук ,в каждую фразу.Пианист владеет красивым звуком. От его игры исходит сильная энергетика, которая передаётся слушателям. Ему доступны произведения разных жанров и разных стилей. Благодарю пианиста за его талант и пианистическое мастерство. Браво!!!!!
I don't agree.
Yunchan Lim is the best.
Я сВами полностью согласна, а китайские и карейские пианисты только виртуозные спортсмены.
Great sound and wonderful animated pianist. I love the no-intro-straight-in! approach :)
Daniil Trifonov is the embodiment of Franz Liszt!. Daniil Trifonov is the embodiment of Franz Liszt!.
