Already is. Came across him surfing for music on youtube without any foreknowledge of who he was; and was completely overwhelmed with his incredible musical insight, emotionality tied to amazing control, and mind boggling technique. Doesn't play music so much as channel the spirits of Chopin, Lizst, Rachmaninov, Stravinsky. Instantly recognized him as belonging to a pantheon of greats, if not already at the top of the heap: Horzowski, Rubinstein, Arrau, Richter, Horowitz, Argerich. Mind Blown.

He's average. At best.

@@andrewchernack7084 я с вами полностью согласна . Даниил исполняет музыку то- лько тех композитор- ов,которых чувствует,то есть тут работает какая-то ме- тафизика, что-то трансцендентное.По- этому он так не похож ни на кого.И поэтому так непопра- вимо гениален и недостижим для всех собратьев по цеху. Петербург.

pianist of the century, to be

@@sarcastaball I’m afraid both the Rubenstein and Chopin competitions don’t accept “average” pianists. Even making the competitions suggests you are above average

I absolutely agree

Daniil should have been the first prize winner!!!!

Je déteste les jurys qui ont leur préférence avant que les candidats ne jouent!

Trifonov is a great pianist but if you watch and listen to the versions by Kate Liu, and Krystian Zimerman you understand the difference between first and third place. I just found myself wondering if DT would make it to the end without taking a breath at this speed and it was full of mistakes (not fatal by any means but if you are showcasing your virtuosity first and foremost then not a good look). Liu's version is better than this musically but still too delicate. Zimerman plays it in such a way that by the last minute of the piece you have to stand up and you can feel the excitement in your chest. Every nuance of the keyboard is explored. He's a musician's musician and a showman at the same time. Trifonov improved after this, but this is not first place playing. A close second to Zimerman would be Yundi Li. He also won.

@@jondavwal13 literally every single video, people debate over who’s better in the comments. Please don’t push this silly discussion so much. It’s too subjective. Even in a sport like basketball, the conversation has completely taken over all other meaningful discussion. And despite the fact that basketball isn’t even an art, people can’t agree on who’s the best of all time or even in a given year. It’s just a fruitless discussion and it’s more based in negatives than it is positives. The truth is all of these pianists are far better than we could ever hope to be and the opportunity to hear them play is a blessing that improves our lives so much. Listen to what they have to give and don’t let your mind compare and categorize so much

I totally agree. A master of the keyboard. I'd like to hear him play Rachmaninoff piano Concerto No 3.

Alexander Mirkin I completely agree. Even if I don’t agree with a particular interpretation I know that it’s the product of serious thought and the next time I hear him play it he might have changed his mind and heart and interpret it differently. He lives and breathes the music and the word that comes up more frequently describing his playing than I’ve ever heard used before is how he caresses the keys-really an astonishing pianist and a great gift to the world

Billy Joel is a 'piano player.' Daniil is truly a master. But so glad you appreciate the good stuff. Best Wishes to you. Hugs and Best Wishes. I'll bet the Schumann was indeed sublime. What a wonderful experience it must have been. I am jealous. I had tickets to see/hear him at Carnegie in NYC. I could not attend.

I just heard same concerto in Lisbon on live sending. Really amazing!

Have you seen Yundi Li play this on his competition (and won btw)!?!?! Sorry no one tops that performance of this piece.

not the best... Sokolov, Volodos, could claim too for instance. (and I like deeply Trifonov but I love Volodos too, with larger colors in my opinion...) anyway,it makes not really sense to think this way, there isn't first pianist but many fascinating ones.

it is new arturo benedetti michelngeli

The D. Trifonov should be dubbed DOCTOR Trifonov.

No conozco a Benedetti pero Daniil es incomparable, inigualable e insuperable ♥️☺️💖🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎵🎹

I wish to have some of his dexterity!!😊😲😳😀😀😃😀😄

The pianist made it sing 🎶🤭😍

More human FEELING than MIND I think, but YES this performance could only be called "TRANSCENDENT." A truly GLORIOUS achievement! Beyond brilliant. It is simply EXQUISITE.

Thank you dear Mr. Trifonov for your brilliant and perfect performance of Chopin's Andante Spionato and the Great Polonaise Brilliante. You undoubtedly are one of the greatest and sublime interpreters of Chopin in the 21st century. I wish you a lot of success as one ot the most talented virtuoso pianists of yhe 31st century.

You undoubtedly are one of most successful interpreters of Chopin in the 21st century as well as one of the most talented and virtuso pianists of the 21st century.I wish you a lot of success in the future.Your technique as well as expression on the piano is beyond perfect.

marina

yes!　I think　so　too

He actually caresses every note and creates such exquisite music.

Exactamente

Well said so beautiful. This is my problem as well...who cares about work when you can have a transcendent experience. I love Trifinov but either had not heard him play this in many yrs or never have...it is as if I am experiencing the Op 22 for the first time. Incredible.

@@AS-iw3ft Not even by a long shot! Liszt's bad music, transcriptions and copy catting does not make him a great composer!

@@abe_48 he did advance the idea of concert pianists and social customs around the piano a lot, but both contributed greatly by their own rights

@@brianlipiano7113ironic coming from you “I f*ing hate Liszt” lmao

@@BrinaSun bro whatre u doing here lmao

But don't forget Liszt

nie przesadzałbym, cały na pewno nie, niektórzy są na pewno bardziej dumni np. z Wojtyły albo Lewandowskiego

Because (seriously) we've lost the ability to appreciate utter genius when it reveals itself.

Truly. Classical music's goal is to please listener's soul, he really can do that.

Chopin would kiss His forehead !

l just found this.What sheer joy.He plays so well.Chopin makes life worth living even in the midst of all this crap we are having to endure.God is good.
