Beauty will save the world.

Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter, il est merveilleux comme pianiste!

At the transition into the Arietta Trifonov looks like he say the ghost of Beethoven. So intense and transcendent playing!

Daniil Trifonov is the greatest pianist in the 21st century.

Daniil’s playing of Beethoven’s Opus 111 is utterly sublime. This is music beyond words, and I agree with Thomas Mann’s comments about the thirty-second, and last, piano sonata of Beethoven in his novel “Dr Faustus.” Not long ago I was asked what two items I would take with me into space. Knowing that others would take cameras etc, I, without hesitation, chose the Opus 111 and Bach’s “Art of the Fugue” played by Daniil Trifonov. Having again heard Daniil play both, my decision is stronger than ever. Words cannot express my thanks, Daniil, for being able to experience, in some small, your incredible gift and love for music

Trifonov, in my humble opinion, the most brilliant pianist of his generation.

Otherworldly. Liszt held Bach as the highest form of genius, I imagine that it takes one to know one. Trifonov stands alone as the greatest pianist of our age.

Music making on another level.

Божественно,какой талант

Greatest pianist of our generation

and after this incredible performance.......12 trascendetal etudes....no words, just a joy for the soul

I personally think he is one of the greatest pianists in the 21st century....

The care and attention paid to each and every note in the Bach/Liszt transcription was mind-blowing. All the voices in the fugue were joint soloists in this meticulous performance, The complex and most demanding Beethoven was a masterpiece throughout. Thank you for this memorable recording.

Soy de familia músicos. Para mi , Daniel lo tiene todo y lo sabe transmitir, sensibilidad, talento, arte y sobre todo luz. Es un ángel en la tierra llega al fondo del alma. Muchas gracias por existir.

Divine. Both the composition and the pianist.

I want to hear everything that this guy plays. Even his home rehearsals.

Cela ne veut rien dire. C’est un immense musicien, bouleversant et habité. Mais cette manie de classer les artistes, vraiment...

God gave him a pair of pianist hands,thank you Daniil Trifonov!!!You are the most talented boy

Huge talented pianist!

Daniil is fantastic and one of the greatest concert pianists of all time. I am completely in a trance watching him and listening to him perform. He is also extremely handsome and smartly dressed.

Mr. Trifonov's playing is so expressive, sincere and heartfelt that he always makes me cry! The Beethoven second movement variations were transcendental. His understanding and re-creation of the architecture of that piece was truly inspired.

First time i really listen to Trifonov. My God have I been missing out.

WOW - that Opus 111 is extraordinarily good. quite incredible. one of the best I have ever come across in my near 40 year obsession with this sonata. the almost "fractal" (in the sense it plays with self-similarity) metrical changes in the Arietta are at once free-flowing and spontaneous-sounding but true to what Beethoven intends, which is a constant tempo, divided in two or into three, again and again until it becomes regular fast pulsation - the "twinkling star" of those high trills. it's a recreation in his own way of the older "divisions on a ground" variation technique, it's geometry that manages to convey a kind of joyous celestial clockwork, a "music of the stars" to follow the constant temporal instability of the first C minor movement where you have changes of tempo every few bars on some pages. this is perfectly realised and turned into song in Trifonov's performance, which is deeply touching and really reveals the conception of the piece itself.

HE plays as if inspired by the ANGELS - sometimes doesn't even look at his hands. THIS is full concentration and inspiration! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

He is an angel...is he real..???.magiccccc fingersss....❤thank you....I wish I met you...

Wat een concentratie,wat een inlevingsvermogen! Groots!

J’en ai écouté des versions de l’opus 111, de brillantes, « trop" jazzy, cultes, virtuoses, lentes…etc., depuis quarante ans, mais je crois n’avoir jamais été autant suspendu, attentif, admiratif et ébahi devant la façon qu’a Trifonov de nous emmener dans ce crescendo. Beethoven est là, et toute la musique.

Quelle splendeur, cette interprétation de l'oeuvre extraordinaire de Bach, transcrite avec tant de sensibilité par Liszt. La suite de Beethoven est du même niveau. Voilà un jeune pianiste de l'école russe qui nous offre le meilleur. Bravo! C'est magnifique.

Brilliant !!!

His op.111 shows he has the mind and can recreate Beethoven's awesome mighty world with weight and no false sense of pathos. The 2nd movement has never sounded so earthy and yet spiritual simultaneously.Yudina is back ! Hetotally there living it! And what beautiful sounds he can make at ff. As well his pianissimo is full bodied. He has it all . Richter would nod his timings,releases,pauses everything so very right !

Has a more beautiful and magnificent piece of music ever been composed for the piano than Beethoven's final sonata? And Mr Trifonov's performance! The sorcerer transports us to the very heights of Mt Olympus with those enchanted fingers... I am in tears because there is nothing in this world, in this moment, which has moved me so profoundly as what I just heard... This is Rapture. Bravo, bravo!!!!

00:00 Bach/Liszt 13:11 Beethoven 40:05 end

Beyond words.

Tout est sublime mais op 111 c'est un choc ,merci de ce partage

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks sooooooo much. I've cried. I already thought the previous performance from Daniil I heard on youtube to be exceptional, but it is utter garbage compared to this. He must have loved Lyon to give you such a performance there. This is simply stellar, and he's a bloody genius.

Um dos maiores pianistas da atualidade!

Quel artiste hors normes!!

Who disliked this? This is one of the greatest interpretation of the OP. 111 I've ever heard. Trifonov's flame burns brightly. To hell with the haters.

Si hay alquien en el Planeta de la MÚSICA , QUE SEA PERFECTO, ESTE ES DANIIL TRIFONOV , lo digo con plena conciencia y desde lo más sublime de MI ESPÍRITU!

Bravo! Impressive playing. I forgot to breathe. Beethoven dreamed of heavenly joy. Tears are the most true human language. Thank you!

merci de nous livrer cette merveille et sa grandiose interprétation

Probably the greatest pianist of all times. He is inspired, or possessed by the music at a level I have not seen before. His understanding (or creativity?) is what distinguishes him, beyond perfect instrumental mastery. Spellbinding is the best word IMO.

This man is a musical monster........1000000 x bravo. Also 1000000 x bravo for Beethoven.

Daniil toujours le grand pianiste

One of the new young generation of great piano virtuoso of the 21 century if not the best with musical soul and insight ,musical mature intelligence, staggering power living the music not just playing it! Bravo, bravo, and bravo!

Quelle interprétation de Bach !.. et je découvre celle de Beethoven, une merveille ! Merci

my favourite!

Very ferocious and thorough playing. I’m sure Beethoven and Bach had appreciated to hear him play their works.

This is an absolutely stunning interpretation of Liszt/Bach BWV 542! What is particularly outstanding is the transparency, avoiding that the heavy parts of the prelude become blurred. I can't wait to hear his interpreation of BWV 1080 which was scheduled for his 2020 tour and still awaits recording...

Génie notre Daniil

Un pur génie du piano joué par un autre pur génie, la sonate op 111 est ici hors de toute comparaison possible ! Grandiose !

This is legitimately amazing. I forgot I was listening to a live recording at some point.

My favorite Beethoven sonata, by a long shot.

Outstanding interpretation ! A true dedication to the Art !

6:48 His holic touching touched me a lot.

Never listened to a more harmonious and inspirational interpretation of Bach. Unpretentious and yet with great depth.

I love his Beethoven, singing and dancing with such an intense depth and renewed spirit. Beethoven would have loved it himself, no doubt! And his Bach, one of the most grandiose piece of organ ever written, is simply transcendenting the music well beyond the notes. Bravo Maestro Trifonov !

Pure brilliant 😍👂

Magnífico! ¡Oh Daniil eres sobrenatural!

This is the greatest recording of Op.111 I've ever heard - and I've listened to dozens of versions for over 50 years. In fact, I can't imagine it being done better. It's as if he's got right into Beethoven's brain, and the music just pours out of his fingers. I am in complete awe. On a five-star system he scores six.

Bravo!!!

Cziffra was, in my opinion, the finest pianist of the recording era. But Trifonov is going the right way to emulating him. I'd like him to record Liszts Hungarian Rhapsodies with the same fire, passion and electricity that Cziffras recordings capture. Come on Danii !

Liszt is the only composer in my opinion who can capture the sound of full organ in a piano

This man is brilliant piano player, he does not play piano, he is music.

Thanks life, thanks Liszt. Thanks to Daniil Tifonov.

Nádherné 🌸 děkuji Vám 🤍🕊️

Visca Trifonov! Un dels més grans!!!!!!

As an organist that plays this piece regularly, I would have throught that it would be almost imposible to transcribe it for piano.. Particularly the fugue. But this is ABSOLUTELY amazing. A totally stunning performance of an incredible transcription. Blown away by it!!!

Was soll man noch sagen ...keiner kann sagen wie Bach dieses Stück an einem Flügel unserer Zeit gespielt hätte..ich glaube er hätte diese Interpretation für sehr gut befunden...ich habe das Stück schon öfters auf unserer Orgel gespielt u. habe jetzt ein neues Bild bekommen was noch möglich ist... in jeder hinsicht ....vielen Dank!

tecnicamente straordinario e grandissimo interprete. Un grande dono ascoltarlo.

Best,Best!!!!!

Daniil Trifonov, cet artiste exceptionnel, musicien, interprète et compositeur génial, dépasse tout ce qui nous a été donné de voir et d'entendre depuis bien longtemps, y compris les plus grandes figures actuelles du piano (inutile de les nommer, ce ne serait pas généreux), et donne à l'humanité un nouveau rêve auquel nous ne croyions plus. Longue vie à toi Daniil, puisses-tu combler la vacuité qui se creuse en notre sein depuis des décennies, depuis la disparition des derniers grands pianistes virtuoses-compositeurs (eg. Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev), et nous éclairer de tes sublimes partitions. Tu as tout du nouveau Messie musical.

Truly one of the best pianists alive, and at quite a young age. Hope he gives more masterclasses after covid, and that it get's posted online lol

Oh, btw, he played all of Liszt's transcendental etudes and an encore after this

Trifonov is an artist for the ages. Prodigious, unexcelled technique in the service of a very profound personal engagement with the expressive limits of his instrument, fueled by a passionate identification with every piece of music he plays. It doesn't matter what he plays...let him play everything with the same commitment and vulnerability... it will pay every honor to the composer, and console and inspire us all.

КОЛОССАЛЬНО!! Одни превосходные степени!

Absolutely one of the best interpretations of the Op. 111. Extremely intrinsic and deep.

Linia melodyczną oszałamiająca Prowadzenie akordów -wysmakowane .💓💓

Trifonov é o Midas da música clássica. Tudo que toca vira ouro

Not from this World ! Not to discribe in my poor Words , but wath Daniil has to say in his Play reaches the bottom of my Heart.🌠

Awesome

C'est un pur délice

You are fantastic, thank you very much.

I am so humbled by his performances and feel so sad that I cannot see him in person more than perhaps yearly. He spends so much time in Europe, and I am in Socal.

Grandiose, profond et d'une extrême sensibilité, et quelle virtuosité ! merci !

straordinario

The genius of his generation 🔥🎆🔥🎆🔥🎆

straordinario pianista. l erede di sviatoslav richter

He really sounds to be at his best in this performance.

Enlightened. Transcendent. A great reflection and intense interpretation of the original intent. Bravo Daniil Trifonov.

❤❤❤❤

Yes.

He is the music, while the music lasts (TS Eliot).

My gosh, op.111. This is profoundly superb! I have to admit that I am always intrigued and fascinated by Trifonov's playing, but I don't always connect with it. This was different for me.

there are dislikes to this video???? WTF? the best LvB sonata rendition since Arrau and RIchter

❤️🔥

Grande compositore grandioso pianista. visto all'auditorium e non mi stanco mai di sentirlo e vederlo . le mani di Trifonov sono ali sulla tastiera.

Beethoven ipnotico, meraviglioso. Una 111 che scrive una pagina di storia.

Daniil .....vous jouez cette fugue magistralement C'est vraiment de cette façon qu'il faut l'interpreter et non lie

Cool how he sometimes gets so close to the keyboard with his eyes. Something close to something Ms. Clinton said when confronted with speaking fees . . . "Because that's what they paid!" . . . for him . . . 'Because that's where the sound is (in the moment).
