Rad piece. Insane, chaotic, brilliantly performed as expected from Miester Trifonov. Can't believe I just stumbled onto this. Thank mass of smart humans working for creating youtube and the library of brilliance so easily accessed.
I had the pleasure of being in Carnegie Hall for this scintillating performance. There was an electricity in the air that was mesmerizing; you could sense the audience sitting on the edge of their seats, hardly daring to breathe.
Trifonov is supremely aware that this was originally an orchestral piece for a ballet and in this amazing performance the piano truly becomes orchestral and the pianist becomes one of the marionettes in the ballet.
Wonderful wonderful, i see the puppet the moor and doll and all the characters come alive in this extremely exciting performance. He plays with every cell in his body. A gift.
No other pianist I know has such an endearing conversation with the keys than Daniil! He plays like he doesn't believe the piano has limitations...warms my heart.
Trifonov does something quite extraordinary. He is not just a supreme virtuoso of the instrument, with a rigorously and sublimely developed musicality...he is channeling the composer, the composer's music, the piano, the acoustics in the hall....he is an artist for all time.
So full of life! I recently learned of him, and I can't believe what he is able to do! In college at Indiana University my piano teacher, Hans Graf (visiting from Vienna), performed this in 1972-ish, and I had never heard anything so thrilling. And now here's Daniil inspiring me like that after 45 yrs. and teaching piano 43. Love his rhythmic vitality, unusual interpretations, clarity, and variety. I'm amazed that anyone can have such a superhuman capacity! Makes me want to run to the piano with some of that energy. Ha! He lives in a whole other world than most of us pianists do. Thanks, Daniil!
I just saw Trifonov this evening with Sergey Babayan in a duo recital at Walt Disney Concert Hall. There wasn't any Petrushka, but there were two Rachmaninoff suites and a Rimsky-Korsakov encore. Trifonov is an exciting pianist. What a night!
I was in Bloomington about that time. Guest. Didn't get around at all. Some strange things happened. Very strange. I left. Chicken necks and puppy poop on walls and an amigo for a psychology department.
Hanna Stanfield Me too, am awed by this guy, only a recent discovery for myself, now one of my favorite pianists if not my top choice! Yes am inspired by his playing & do make me want to run to my piano after graduating from the American Conservatory of Music, Chicago in 1988!!
This Stravinsky I liked. I can imagine the poor sad puppet gyrating and flopping (even without Daniil's graphics). Beautifully rendered. Thank you very much Daniil. Cathy
Have you heard Yeol Eum Son's rendering of this seminal piece? It's very different Trifonov's. It's charming. It's not better or worse but it's just amazing to me how two musicians can play the same notes and produce something so different.
how lucky we are to be alive and hear Trifonov's playing. In an age when most pianists play music as if it's their daily routine, Trifonov always plays with such deeply-felt feelings that the only worry one has is that he might burn himself out too quick too early.
Daniil Trifonov, the musical shining light of a thousand suns, realizes heretofore unheard clarity and virtuosity with the performance of this transcribed version of Stravinsky's Petrushka. He's able to make lightning fast changes in mood and character in his interpretations--simply brilliantly stunning.
We just saw him, this afternoon, to perform in Chicago. It was an awesome performance (played Petrushka too) and other very difficult technical pieces - Schumann Toccata in C major, op.7, Shostakovich five Preludes and Fugues, op 87. His technique is mind-blowing. He has such a light, gentle touch. You should travels any miles to see and hear him.
Je ne pensais même pas que l on pouvait sortir de telles sonorités et dynamiques d un piano , c est vraiment génial et tellement immersif dans l univers Musical de Stravinsky , encore mille bravos !
The most characterful interpretation and exciting interpretation of this piece (or these three parts of it) that I've ever heard, whether in the piano arrangement or for orchestra. Bravo!
Absolutes highlight of pianoperformances - ever !!! Incredible rhytmic presens and control-special in 3. mouv.! - its grooving and swinging realy like a Jazzpianist! ( sometimes like a offbeat :-) ...) And all the "original orchester- colors" he knows to creat at the piano! He is a wonder!!!!! I am speechless.... Thanx for shaering here!
Daniil Trifanov is one of the most electrifying pianists of such conviction, love and fire that i can't recall a single performance which fell flat. He is advancing into a position as potentially one of the greatest pianists of this era. God bless this wonderful pianist. 🌹 🎹
@@republiccooper Her performance is an impressive technical feat, to play this piece with such light touch is impressive to say the least. Pollini's performance as you said is extremely controlled (rythm, evenness). Again, I'm extremely impressed, but not moved. What Yuja achieved is mostly due to the fact that the piece wasn't technically challenging enough for her, so she was able to focus on bringing out the orchestral origin of the piece. I was both impressed and moved. It's thematically a dramatic children's piece, it should move you.
@@LightSearch I am more impressed by Yeol Eum Son in this piece than Yuja Wang. Yuja does bring out that childlike playfulness but Yeol Eum brings out something mature and balletic. It's a fully staged ballet to me, with a lot of music thought. I think for Yuja it was in fact very easy which meant that some of the musical thoughtfulness that could have been wasn't. Needless to say I'm still very impressed by both of them. Pollini's performance doesn't move me as it once did but it is the most impressive.
I love how he attacks the piano almost stands up to do it - the piano is after all a percussion instrument - Danill is dedicated to exploiting that exciting feature
Dopo l'esecuzione "storica" di Maurizio Pollini, che rende l'essenza pianistica di questo pezzo, non quella orchestrale, ecco apparire questa di Daniil Trifonov, che la trascende.
A match made in heaven. Surely the dedication would have been to Trifonov, not Rubinstein, had they been contemporaries. Would like to hear T. play the Agosti version of the Firebird.
To all who like Trifonov - His 2013 Carnegie Hall CD is one of the greatest ever made. For sheer bravura I'd put it up there with the Cliburn Moscow CD. Two sonatas (Liszt, Scriabin) precede Chopin's 24 preludes and Medtner's FairyTale no 2), The artistry and technique is beyond reproach. He NEVER speeds for the sake of speed. In this he is joined by the scantily clad (and incredible pianist) Yuja Wang. Kissin is great but it's been noted several times that he is far better recording than live due to his habit of blurring the notes from playing so fast (and missing a few). The old masters did not need to prove themselves speed demons.
It is the third time I listen to Triffonov and I still find Maurizio Pollini version better, I mean his dynamics are out of this world. He make it sound more natural, effortlessly.
Maurizio Pollini version is far better than Trivinov's . My favourite versions by modern pianists are in order of choice Yuja Wang, followed by Khatia Buniatishvili, then Yeol Eum Son and lastly Trifonov.
And 'certain that master Trifonov has discovered a new way to play the piano. The proof is that at no time the piano is able to adapt to its feverish search.
