Scarlatti - sonata in D minor L.108 - Daniil Trifonov 

Daniil is a gift from God.

I like Scarlatti so much...because of my family name)) This is one of the best interpretations I have ever heard! Real talent!

So beautiful, thank you Daniil. 🌷🌷🌷 (Netherlands)

Great great interpertation, this piece it's really dificult, the expression and the control fo sound, he did a GREAT job!

Quelle délicatesse,quelle profondeur. Daniil est à part...

This is what a good recording sound is. Your sound engineer is fantastic!

-- Délicat, subtil & envoûtant. --

Danil s a gift of God himself

These danged experts sounding off as if rubato is a ‘modern’ invention! How do they know if they weren’t there to hear correct, baroque playing? Let the artists like this be free to express their love of Scarlatti on (shock, horror) modern grand pianos with sustain pedals and unwritten dynamics.

an intimate personal interpretation of a Baroque composer - much like Pablo Casals interpretations of Bach - or Horowitz rendering of Mozart

He plays it with philosophy! :)

You must be a *very* talented and serious musician. I am sure of it.

That's just fine

A very ‘pianistic’ performance which is fine given that he is performing an eighteenth century sonata written originally for the harpsichord, on a modern grand. Attempts to play such music on these instruments as though they are old keyboards are doomed to failure so I am happy to enjoy this for what it is. What I am not happy with is identifying this piece by the obsolete, discredited and misleading Longo (L) number. The internationally accepted norm is to use the Kirkpatrick (K) number which is modern, accurate and barring the ‘Essercizi K1-30, are closely chronological. This Sonata is K 213, the L numbers are useless, confusing and need to be abandoned by the very few people still using them; it’s like pricing things in the obsolete lire, francs, deutschmarks, pesetas, drachmae and all the rest, rather than in the €.

My apology if you misinterpreted my comment. I brought dynamics up since rubato and a wide spectrum of dynamics are two staples of playing music from the Romantic period. Nowhere in my comment I'm addressing you. In fact, I was expanding on your argument. Incidentally, I hold a master's degree in English and I was raised in the USA.

My God haaa haaaaaaa haaaa haaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaa. This make me cry and laugh at the same time.

This is the hundredth comment on this video

Belle interpretation, mais il faut ecouter EDUARD KUNZ , c est divin, c est sublime / salle de concert Verdi a Milano

SCARLATTI THE MASTER OF MELANCHOLY....555 SONATAS , MANY ARE LIKE THESE, BUT HE HAS THE SAME AMOUNT OF FLAMBOYANT SONATAS AS WELL.....CONTEMPLATIVE (SENTIMENTAL) AND MEDITATIVE...NOTHING CHOPINISQUE WHATSOVER WTH THIS IMPLIED BY FREDRIK ZINOS IN THE COMMENTARY BELOW....

I'm sorry that you're such a bitter person who cannot even accept an apology. Again, I was addressing people in general. I used the word "people" and the only reason I responded to your comment was because I see the validity in it. I didn't mean to offend you in any way. I haven't insulted you. So be civil and don't insult me.

He has talent and is musical, but for my taste, this is over-indulgent.

he plays too much with it . .

People forget the harpsichord & clavichord are very limited in dynamics. However, the piano allows various degrees of dynamics. It's faulty to expect pianists play baroque music as if they were playing the piece on a period instrument. Daniil's phrasing and staccato are well-articulated (stylistically correct for the period).

This is wonderful. Also a great production. It makes me forget things, and remember others.

The luck of sharing era with music of Mr.Trifonov is enormous

Trifonov my Favorite in the new Generation virtuoso he is complete and Supreme in all areas of high level Artistic Piano Virtuoso!

Your music is beautiful 🤩

I was never a Scarlotti fan until now. I listen to this every day because of Daniil"s interpretation

He chose this for a competition out of all the technical Scarlatti he could and would be able to have played. Brave and, as I see it, a worthwhile chose to show his musicianship.

Extraordinary delicacy, yet each note has such presence. I would not expect less from dear Daniil's heart and hands.

It's like he's conversing privately with Beauty itself. Pure perfection!

Syblime playing of this sonata. :-)

What a beauty!! Bravo Trifonov!!!

Спасибо! Высокие ноты. Высокий букет цветов! Богатство и история. Историография. Кр.

Video's out of sync, but the music recording was very good. Interesting interpretation. Baroque keyboard sonatas were written for harpsichord, where there was little dynamic expression, and certainly no pedaling. How would Scarlatti have written this if he had the instrumental ability of today, I wonder?

We do not how Scarlatti would have played this sonata if he ever played it in public. Human beings of this caliber were human beings even centuries ago.

Que c'est beau!

Such a heart-opener!

Magnifica esecuzione!

@PPTDicas Apenas arrecadou o 1º Lugar! He took the 1st Place!

I listened to this sonata dozens of times, but I didn't know it was so lovely, till now.

Well, time-period wise he is classified as baroque but his music has many classical elements and had much influence on that style.

Wonderful! Geert Dehoux, pianist. Belgium.

So beautiful, Scarlatti is so moving and I usually hate baroque

since when does baroque music have no rubato?

It's magical and the best !!❤❤

なんて清らかな音♪ 心が洗われます。Daniilの弾くバロックも大好き♡

¡Bravo!

This is the Sonata K213; the K (Kirkpatrick) numbers are used universally; Longo numbers are unhelpful, confusing and used by nobody.

random comment, but i hate when scarlatti sonata numbering uses the "L" system. The "K" one is much common and universally accepted, no?

Un amigo, aquí dijo....... una caricia; es verdad no toca, acaricia las teclas: Es lo mejor que he escuchado.-

Изумительно!!!

по-моему , идеально.

Как прекрасно! Заслушалась...

Clearly, "Concetto" playing (my term): there is at least one other piece present, which Trifonov is gracefully revealing, "weaving" it out of things already in the score (not like the Met's Don G, which added notes), like Michelangelo's "Concetto" carving. A transparent rhapsodism neither rubato nor swung, derived from grace notes and intervals in the piece he is thinking of. The presence of the Modern in the past. Trifonov wins the first Trippiness Award, which I will now make each year.

Interpretazione magica!!

Fantastic piece:)

Because an interpretation doesn't fit your personal standards, it doesn't mean you have to be so derogatory and bitter. I would like to hear yours. Please enlighten us!

This is so beautiful done

Спасибо большое🙏, красиво, трогательно исполнено ❤

Как же уныло.. ((

... una caricia ...

beautifully !!

He was complaining about having too much rubato, not at the presence of it. Don't attack the stick man.

deceptively simple

why are you using the L numbers. thats gross. this is k.213

great feeling. now remove the sustain pedal and try to give the same feeling. you can do it. it needs only more practice.

A beautiful tragedy.

K 213

This is how he played at court.

comment ne pas croire en l'infinie après une telle beauté d' interprétation ...

K 213

Play this on period instuments please

Scarlatti dad or son ?

Кунц играет бесподобно !!

what K is it?

Misschien wel de wijze waarop joew broer geleefd heeft ik weet het niet maar zo voelt het aan!

way too Chopinized

This is crap. This piece really doesn't require all that dainty pianissimo and rubato. Let the music speak for itself.

Too much rubato... but really nice perfomance ;)

Not authentic, but very pleasant.

He added some ornaments. They weren't wise but they sounded acceptable. Scarlatti knew better though.

too much rubato this is baroque that's a huge no-no

I think Trifonov is great, but I don't love this piece. I think everything Bach wrote is pretty much strictly better than it.

Muito ruim a técnica e a dinâmica. Não tem interpretação sonora, só facial! Too bad the technique and dynamics. Interpretation has no sound, only facial! Dommage la technique et la dynamique. Interprétation n'a pas de son, que du visage!

Ну и ЧТО в нем выдающегося ? Хорошо играет . Не больше.
