This isn't just one of the greatest interpretations of Rach 3. This one of the greatest videos on KZfaq.

This man's hands need to be declared unesco world heritage

he can't forget a note, he is completely inside the music, a memory lapse would be like forgetting his own name, what a performance!

One of my favorite composers, conductors, and pianists. DON'T NEVER EVER DELETE THIS VIDEO, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!

I’m always impressed when I see some play this piece but what leaves me in awe and wonder is how a human being sat down composed this then wrote it out with a pen and paper. Rachmaninov must have been a super human

How his fingers don’t slip from the sweat on the keys and his hands is unreal 😂 but by far the greatest performance of Rach 3 possible- utterly sensational 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻👍🏻

Oh merci ! ...une cascade de sueur pour un océan de pur bonheur !

Il est certain que ce garçon exceptionnel est habité par l'oeuvre et son piano, d'ailleurs le piano c'est lui, avec ces regards carnassiers, ces mouvements de mâchoire, cette manière de se pencher sur le clavier, il n'interprète pas, il vit l'oeuvre, purement et simplement ! Et c'est magnifique !

He knew exactly how to deal with that cadenza in the first movement. Exactly how.

Daniel Trifonov est le meilleur! On en a les larmes aux yeux, son jeu est impressionnant qd on sait la difficulté de ce concerto.!!!!..il est tout simplement époustouflant Le piano fait corps avec lui.. On ne peut que l aimer .. Rachmaninov serait fier de lui..

Yunchan Lim brought me here. Mr. Trifonov is one of Yunchan's favorite pianists and he is great. But I love Yunchan's interpretation, perfect! Thank you for letting us enjoy Mr. Trifonov's performance.

I feel put through an emotional wringer, listening to Rach3. God knows what it must feel like for the pianist. He looks transcendant at the finale. Amazing performance.

Daniils smile from 44:45 is pure gold, a triumph! For me this is absolutely the best performance of Rach 3 I ever heard.

I heard Trifonov perform this last night with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is still magnificent.

I am breathless. I just burst crying at the last note of this amazing performance. I never felt so much things listening to 3rd Rachmaninov, listening AND watching ! Oh my god, these expressions he has. Look at him smiling while watching the orchestra and the conductor at some times, like if he was saying "what a moment, what a journey we are having". He breathe like if he was in absolute love with the music. Trifonov I love you, what a musician !

After this? I absolutely need to see Trifonov perform Rach 3 in person. I had never been so moved by music before this video

This is undoubtedly one of the greatest performances of Rach 3 that I’ve heard. Daniil’s playing is not only perfect but the interpretation outstanding. The clarity of each note played comes through in such a way as I’ve not before experienced which leads to a transcendent quality to this performance which is beyond description but intensely and deeply felt. Thank you, so very much, Daniil.

The expressions on his face at 44:40 are incredible, you can tell he is living the music he is playing

I never quite understood these “weird” facial expressions that pianists make, but specially Trifonov’s, which are very different and somehow even scary. After many years of playing the piano and some unimportant recitals, I decided to perform in the school’s breaktime Chopin’s Polonaise Op. 44, which is a reasonably difficult piece. I thought I was already used to performing publicly, but in school the nervousness was in a completely different level. My whole body was shaking throughout the piece, my hands sweating and sliding through the piano while my heart was beating so fast it seemed it would come out of my mouth. I managed to play it anyway, but that’s not the thing. That state of nervousness blocked any kind of rational thought into my brain. Past and future didn’t exist anymore. It wasn’t like I was focusing on the present moment, it was like there really were no future or past anymore. I couldn’t think of the way or how I was going to play the next part, I was being guided by some ultra pure intuition, maybe the most insane experience I ever had… and, of course, i felt much more immersed. When I finished, I didn’t even remember how I played it at all. Now, every time I see this performance of DaniiI, I remember that. I can recognize the exact feeling of how it is, and I can only imagine how his could be so much bigger than mine.

The opening minutes with Daniil are just pure magic, and then, without knowing how it happened, fortynine minutes have passed.

The Rach III demands all a pianist has. Physically, youth helps. Artistically, maturity matters. Rarely does a pianist bring both youth and maturity to a performance. We are fortunate here.

Danil Trifonov is a once-in-a-century-phenomenon - but maestro Myung-Whun Chung and the Paris Philharmonie also really give their full share here. What a fantastic performance ...!!!

Trifonov IS the heir apparent to Horowitz. He is the total being amongst all the other greats. We are truly blessed to witness his extraordinary gift!

Besides the incredible performance by both Daniil Trifonof and the orchestra, I think the audio technicians also did a wonderful job. It's one of the few recordings on KZfaq where I can clearly hear both the piano and the orchestra in the last few bars.

44:49 - 44:55 It's so touching to see a performer like him enjoying so much...

Trifonov was born in March, 1991. This makes him 24 years old at this concert. Unreal, isn't he. Twenty-four years old. I feel sure that Rachmaninmoff was watching this performance from whatever space in the sky he now occupies. I am confident he would be quite amazed and pleased. Trifonov is this piece of work -- he and the score and the piano are one with the orchestra and Myung-Whun Chung.

This performance is nothing short of a triumph of the human spirit. Chills all over.

Beyond words. A life of dedication and you can see what it means to him to perform this so flawlessly.

People complain about his 'body language', but to me there's no fake theatrics in it. The look on his face at the finale says 'I'm coming to you from another world.' And he is. His playing is indeed transcendent. POSTSCRIPT: Of all the performances of the concerto I have heard from him since this early one remains to me the most inspired.

He is absolutely fixated. Like a man possessed. He only wants to make beautiful music and I thank him for that. Impeccable playing and amazing focus. He is one of the modern young greats.

This guy is a trip! Such a rollercoaster of emotionality, virtuosity and priceless facial expressions.

Daniil plays like a man possessed. Highly charged music that surges wave upon wave in lyrical effusions. He delivers a momentous performance.

I just had the chance to see Daniil Trifonov playing this masterpiece tonight in Montreal... I have no word to describe the emotion. He made me cried many time. By far the best concert I ever saw.

Honestly the absolute best 👍🏻🍻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I like this version so much. The energy, the feelings, the delicate and the furious, all in a perfect blend. The tempi are just right, not rushed, and not slow, so everything the music has to give is conveyed with clarity and brilliance. Goes straight to your mind and your heart. The orchestra and the director are fabulous, full of colors, the sound is clear, we hear all the nuances, the balance is perfect and they give so much! I am short of adjectives. Daniil is completely inhabited, possessed. He's my favourite pianist. A marvel to hear and to watch.

Lucky enough to hear him live in London a few years ago playing this, with Ashkenazy conducting: we were all on our feet at the end, As close to a perfect performance of this great concerto as I ever hope to hear.

If only this could be heard on every speaker in every town and Village across the world. I would never leave the house with ear plugs ever again. There is not the smallest minutia of human emotion not seen and felt in every measure. The Spectrum is endless. Why oh why do so few people find the milk and honey of classical music While others are drones to the beat of drums.

I must have watched it over 100 times now and it is still just as amazing

I sometimes forget how incredible Myung-whun Chung can be with an orchestra: that ending was about perfect!

my God...what I wouldnt do to see and hear this magnificent artist

I think Rachmaninoff would be honored by Trifonov's interpretation of Concerto No. 3. The artistry that Daniil delivers to this piece is both beautiful and riveting.

it is the first ime in my life that I listen all the plenty notes of this tremendous concerto ....it is really amazing and very nice .

This performance was beyond incredible and the audience should have given him a standing ovation, because it was that good !!!!!

Daniel es ángel en la tierra. Estubo en Barcelona al principio y cuando se dirigía a firmando discos, dio la casualidad q cuando salió del camerino lo tuve al lado , tuve la sensación de que no tocava el suelo , su andar era sutil ,suave y seguro. Señores ha llegado un ser especial para recordarnos lo esencial del ser. Mil gracias Daniel por venir a compartir tu don❤❤

Si Dieu existe, son coeur palpite à travers lui et Rachmaninov guide ses mains dans la fulgurance lumineuse des notes. Les touches épousent ses mains et ce mariage ce n'est pas une interprétation, ce concerto c'est LUI, divinement lui...merci de nous arroser de votre génie musical Monsieur Trifonov ! ! Écouté un million de fois et toujours la même émotion, les mêmes frissons, explosion d'un bonheur indicible, touchée par la grâce!

The most beautiful performance of Rach 3 I've ever heard.

Wizardly exquisite and expressive. So much tones and colors that really portrait an emotional journey of Mr. Rachmaninov. I have never been this moved. Thank you Mr Trifonov for playing and uploading this video so we get to enjoy this masterpiece anywhere in the world 🎉

I’ve never seen a pianist so in the music - you can see it in his eyes and every fibre of his being is invested in the journey - the subtleness he can achieve and the polar opposite is exquisite 👏🏻🍻🥃

Trifonov isn't a regular genius. He's above it. Something about every single one of his performance is prodigious. It's not just perfect, the level of emotion and passion - it's unrivaled by any. I really really really hope he never burns out as a pianist and continues to dominate his performances.

Absolutely wonderful performance. Not a beefy muscular rendering alla Bronfman or Gavryluk. Trifonov found more than that in the score. Phenomenal pianist.

My favorite interpretation of the Rachmaninov III.

This guy is a wizard. Not only plays, he is a shaman conjuring up the magic to emerge from those keys, levitating Rachmaninoff's very spirit into the concert hall. Amazing to watch his hands, his body language and his face gestures as he does his thing.

Rachmaninov's theory of composition for the piano was, "Why write one note when twelve will do."

I think Trifonov version of cadenza is best verion of cadenza ever i heard. I can clearly hear a main first theme melody in cadenza!!! He emphasized first main theme melody very well. tempo and rythm also Very clean. And the low key chord didnt make it messy It is the best

The piece was so intense he even hit the piano in the wood to make sure it sounds well! Amazing

Brilliant in every way Bravo !!!!!

44:18 This is the magic of Russian orchestral music performed with such soul and love. Absolutely marvelous interpretation of a wondrous piece of art.

Extraordinary. Trifonov is a man with his own ideas so we are treated to a performance that is different and unique. Credit to Myung-Whun Chung who does a superb job in accomodating the orchestra to Trifonov's fregquent changes of tempo. What can one say? Daniil has put an immense amount of thought into how each section of the concerto will be played. And no one puts more effort into the performance -- he plays like a man possesed. A wonderful and memorable performance.

And by the way, the conductor also deserves a lot of applauses. Perfect tempo beautiful in all senses just brilliant!!!

An outstanding performance and a real spectacle. A timeless masterpiece and one of the most sincere and wild performers of our time.

I am deeply moved by this amazing performance! Thank you

The final coda is for a heart attack! The best ever! It's not easy to understand how Rachmaninov could, not only conceive this master piece but how he could he write it into the pentagram sheet paper. It is that complex ! Trifonov really sinks into the piece. Outstanding!!!

Este hombre es increíble, su forma de tocar, lo que transmite!! Pasión infinita.

Truly amazing….this is the best Rachmaninoff.no3 I ever heard.

45:20 He has a great gut. Look at his face no one even could find his mistake. Really great play!

As a former professional violist, I have been in several orchestras when this piece was scheduled. It is extremely hard and a serious challenge to perform for everyone.

Это чудо какое-то! Даниил-Гений с настоящей душой, живёт музыкой, купается в ней, блаженствует и никакого позёрства, всё честно. Спасибо!

You play with so much life and passion. One of the top interpretations of my favourite piece✨🙏

Rach 3, the ultimate performance for a pianist. Danil Trifonov gave a magistral performance. Extase !

monsieur Trifonov, je viens de vous voir et entendre à l'Auditorium de Radio France avant hier soir. Vous êtes un génie authentique et je vous remercie pour le bonheur que vous nous donnez. L'Auditorium était plein et enthousiaste! j'ai aimé quand ,au bout de 5 rappels, vous êtes apparu "enfin"apaisé, semblait-il! je vous aime, jeune homme autant qu'un fils. Je sais tout ce que votre excellence, voire beaucoup plus, , représente de travail, de volonté, de sacrifices aussi. Je vous dis et redis au delà de mon admiration toute ma reconnaissance.. Merci à vous;db

Grandioso!!!... Il dialogo col pianoforte è straordinario. Daniil Trifonov domina i tasti sprigionando un suono meraviglioso. Bravissima l'orchestra e un grande direttore. In questo concerto Rachmaninov è tornato vivo...

Rachmaninoff, is by all means incomparable in this indescribably magnificent piano concerto,, Composing such a work with this utter complexity and remarkable beauty in the mean time, is some kind of a miracle... As for the performance, this was really one of greatest I have heard and seen concerning this concerto, Trifonov especially, was absolutely magnificent, technically and emotionally, his articulation was superb, and of course needles to say how Chung was brilliant master in spinning this remarkable orchestra with the piano, in order to obtain in the end such a historical performance ,, We wouldn't also forget the highly skilled sound recording, and finally, a great salute to everyone that shared in this dazzling performance.

This is one of the most difficult piano concertos to play. And one of the longest. And this performance was brilliant. I like the way that Trifonov plays with such intensity, energy, and enjoyment. And I like the way that he smiles at the end. Like a kid at the circus!

Whoever thought of inviting the greatest pianist in the world to join up with the greatest conductor on the planet must have known something staggering was going to happen. As usual the French got it right. I will never hear this concerto played better, this is my 125th listening , live, tv, youtube,radio and cd by 31 pianists. I'll be happy now.

Skip the way Daniil looks in certain passages. He is a master, and we usually allow masters to do whatever they want to do. Hopefully also this time. The way he plays this Rach 3 is astonishingly good, and we all can sit there and enjoy it for free. So be happy, instread of making up plans for your saying that you dont like it. You are looking at music history here. Some time in the future all "knowhowers" will sit there in a studio and use many words in trying to explain the grandness of this Daniil Trifonov.

God bless Sergei, the man was a genius .....and thank you Daniil for providing such a fitting performance. You can feel your genuine love for this piece watching you play, love it!

After Tiny Desk Consert, when he even talked to the public, I have come to love this man. He is what we all want, the post-post-modern romantic genious we all wanted so long. And in this modern times it is not easy to find a genious, dont you agree?. But here he is. For he is a little bit different from the rest of us. And that is all we want, someone that finally tells us that it has not to be the way we all think, and are fed up with. No, he shows us that if you look at things with a very sharp eye, there is a possibility.

Даниила Трифонова признали во всем мире, что неудивительно. По-моему, он не "покоритель" рояля, а его партнер. Для меня Трифонов - маг, волшебник. С роялем он общается "на равных", за что инструмент дарит исполнителю все свои возможности.

This is without doubt one of the greatest musical experiences I've ever had the pleasure of hearing and seeing. To have been there that evening would have been an utterly Godly experience. Divine.

32:07 OMG that GLISS!!!! It was SO DELICATE that it made me DIE more than the whole concerto!

that was one of the most stunning cadenza interpretations i’ve ever heard!

Daniil, brings the beauty out of the composition! ❤❤❤ he is truly talented

Родина, Россия, Отечество... Любовь, Думы, Переживания-Все Сплелось В Музыке Гения И Исполнено Гениально!!!

This is absolutely stunning. beyond words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone's Timing is tight, like a Tiger... Thank you France Musique for posting this mesmerizing performance!

Massive power from such delicate hands... Bravo!

The clarity of his playing is amazing. Unlike many other performers he doesn't drown the piece with excessive use of pedal.

When you play the piano at a certain level, it can become an out of body experience. this is the ultimate reward for me and can rarely be achieved. the feeling cannot be described. to do this with an orchestra must feel like the peak of human being -- even before applause and bravos...

Daniil always puts himself into the music and it never fails to move your heart.

Rachmaninov plus Le Pianiste D Trifonov nous font vivre de grands moments où se mêlent la tristesse de la dépression. d autres ou l espoir renaît avec douceur mélancolie et force Comment ne pas être déchiré ( ees’ es ) devant tant d émotions mélangées Ce concerto fait partie de ma vie

40:10 seconds those chords are heaven and soooo full of longing emotion - stupefying perfection 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🍻🥃

Well - it does not get any better. Then and today. What a music,what a talent. Rachmaninov could not play it better and with more passion. Thank you for this magnificent video!

I just saw Daniil Trifonov perform this exact piece in Montreal So worth shouting BRAVO in between the last note and the thunderous applause. It was a privilege to see Trifonov... I'll never forget it as long as I live!

Man, he hit that piano. Good for him. When Rach is presenting beauty and love, he is without peer. When he ramps it up, it sounds like a war. Such contrast, not for the faint hearted pianist. A genius.

Todo el sentimiento y la genialidad de Rachmaninoff interpretada magistralmente por Danil Trifonov insuperable, perfecta.

Un pianiste que j'apprécie beaucoup, et qui vit sa musique quand il l'a joue.

Incredible, What a memory this Daniil Trifonov must have to remember such a difficult piece of music and to play this with so much feeling.A stunning performance by all .

...his pianissimi are a stunning contrast as they flow into very strong transitional passages... a thoughtful and thought-provoking performance in gorgeously grand style...brilliantly phrased throughout...

First time in my life I see such a crazy behavior and looks performing the greatest concerto of all times!

I took my 9 year old son to see this virtuosic musician play this in concert here in Vancouver BC. It was a treat. Never will forget it.
