Seeing Trifonov smiling, looking so happy at the end of the concerto makes me shivers! Thanks for speaking about classical music! You do it very well, with simple words and sensibility.
Thank God he did the original cadenza! ( Despite the term "ossia", It is in fact the original cadenza.) This and Beethoven's Emperor are my favorite concertos!
I was not aware that the "Ossia" Cadenza is the original one. Should have guessed as much, considering that Rachmaninov often revised his works, sometimes considerably before publishing them. Not always to the benefit of the works (Sonata No.2 and Piano Concerto No. 4 are both better in their original form)
It's my favorite concerto but it's extremely dense, definitely not easy to enjoy it as its fullest on first listen. I remember falling alseep to it at first, haha
Agreed. I always loved rach 2 more but as I have grown older I have fallen in love with Rach 3. It is just so colorful with so much expression. But it's not digestible on first listen. The climax of the third movement is probably the best in classical music imo.
This has to be one of the best piano/orchestral works in my opinion, perhaps tied with Prokofiev's 2nd Piano Concerto. The chords at about 49:49-50:01 is one of the most euphoric climaxes. Gets me every time.
That concerto is really a unique experience, the first movement is so hard to digest but i think that's what reinforces this feeling of liberation at the end of the 3rd movement, as if we had experienced an ordeal with the musicians. That looks like an entire life put in music.
@@jameswiglesworth5004 i'm mostly talking about the first listening, when you know the piece it feels more natural, but i remember my first listening and how i found the first movement really complex, i needed a lot of focus to ear it properly
@@giovannib27 Rach 2 is beautiful, love it to bits. I just find it a bit too romantic in comparison, that's why I have a better liking for his 3rd. The man wrote beautiful, heart-wrenching melodies in that 2nd concerto I will admit. I've never gotten to listen to Tchaikovsky 1 right through, I just get lost somewhere in the 1st mvmt. Love the opening though.
Rachmaninov is sublime, brave for posting. Your head covered the point when it got fast @ 11:00 or so when he was trying to nod to the conductor to slow down. DT is a superb pianist, every artist has their own sound and style.
I would also highly reccomend listening to Yunchan Lim's recording from the Cliburn as well after listening to this one, very contrasting performances!
No comparison, either. I caught several mistakes in this rendition, and I think Yunchan Lim's was note-perfect (except where he improved on the score...)
@@KenBreadbox Trifonov’s performance is of great comparison. I would argue that it is better than Lim’s in many ways and in many other recordings of Trifonov playing this concerto as well. These recordings are some of the best ever recorded. Music isn’t about being note perfect it’s about interpretation which in this aspect I think Trifonov is among the best in the world. (Having said this I am definitely fond of Lim’s performance of this piece especially at his age)
The guy the far right you were asking about was playing the Bassoon. It’s a large double-reeder instrument. The best known of double reed family instruments is the Oboe. There is also cor-anglais and contra-bassoon.
👏 Rachmaninoff is my favorite; brilliant composer and player. Also, Daniil is one of the best pianists in the world!!❤ Listen to him play Rach's Concerto 2! Chill bumps!
Rach 3 is probably my most favorite classical music piece. It took a while to get into but the night I heard Nikolai Lugansky perform this live in 2018 I think, I was HOOKED. I remember that day was Pride Parade day so I was super exhausted and almost didn´t want to go because the parade was exhausting but I did and it changed me as a person. I bought the sheet music so I could read along while listening (not that I could ever play it) and I go to every single performance in the area. I so love the part 32:48 - 34:09 . The resolution into that waltzy theme is so well done, as is the transition between mvt 2 and 3. For a long time, Lugansky was my favorite interpreter of this work, but you can NEVER go wrong with Trifonov. Not only is he extremely technically accurate, but he puts ALL of himself into his music. You really notice during a performance if the musician loves what they´re playing. But recently, Yunchan Lim won a prestigious piano competition and played this piece in the finale and I must say, it has probably become my favorite recording of the piece altogether, and the guy was barely 18 at the time (which is especially impressive because this music requires quite some emotional maturity).
Writing this as I am about to watch the video, I have been listening to his second concerto multiple times for the past like 3 days and wanted to check out his 3rd tomorow. Guess, I will check it out now with you. I know this a reupload but so excited nonetheless!
@@bboyo8307 Oh, my goodness! I completely forgot. I have been listening to so much Classical music; lots of composers including Rachmaninoff, but I still forgot 😂 I will listen now! Edit: I just listened to the first movement and goodness, I adored it and the cadenza was cathartic, exhilarating and gorgeous. Time to listen to the other 2 movements. Maybe I won't be able to listen to them today because it's late, but hopfully tomorow! I can already tell this concerto will be a favourite.
I recommend movie Shine, an insanely good movie based on a true story with Geoffrey Rush as a main caracther. 3rd piano concerto is maybe the second main character in this movie.. Maybe you could even record your reaction. Most Rach 3 fans know that movie
I have 2 comments(sorry). But wanted to tell you that the movie "Shine" is a sweet movie about a young pianist. While trying to memorize this concerto & then performing it, his life is forever changed. I won't give it away, but you should watch it!
now you’ll need to do the first and fourth one as well! i recommend anna fedorova’s performance for the first piano concerto. glad that this is back on the channel
Lol. I just suggested this to you on another video 😂 This pianist is one of the most animated, eccentric, unique performers I’ve ever seen. Definitely fun to watch!! Still prefer Horowitz but this was very enjoyable. There’s a movie called Shine about a pianist who lost his mind trying to learn this song(in part). Great movie.
volodos, yuncham, horowitz, gavrylyuk, seong jin, malofeev?Try these. Argerich is good but she just flies through it like there’s no return. On the other hand Trifonov takes too many liberties in this piece. Rachmaninoff IMO should be deep but not too sentimental. Of course they all play well. (Just my opinion)
Who can do it better than the man himself? This is the proper tempo, many drags it out to 45 minutes but the composer himself plays it in 30 minutes, with the passion intended. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2uqZhnqHMAg.html

Funny how Trifonov starts out playing in a posture that seems so clean and regal, almost detached, and then as the music progresses he slowly starts to crawl more into the keyboard until he sits there all hunched. He also did not have his best day on the night of this particular performance. Quite a few wrong notes, especially in the cadenza.
I actually think this recording is really bad unfortunately. The performance is amazing but the piano volume is wayyyyy too loud. I alsp physically fant stand whatever it was the pianist did at the end of the forst movement. Really inappropriate place for showing off. Completely ruins the flow of the first movement. Okay after listening further it gets even worse. I cant stand this recoeding. The pianist is to busy trying to be Liszt that he forgets to play the music. Probably the single worst version of rach 3 that ive heard. Sad to know this was your first time hearing it.
Good camera work on his fingers. But I always find the way this guy looks so off-putting. Especially when he goes hunch-back mode and the stiff jaw. He’s like the ultimate Mekon. (Sorry Daniel).
