Lol clapping 😂😂😂

[@jean-samuelgagnon8588]

These 2 pianists are awesome. They are beautifully synchronized.

[@michaelroberts6894]

The speed they play some of this is almost unbelievable! What great artists both are!

[@jmtibbetts]

What a fine duo those two ladies make! It is always such a joy to listen to them and watch them together.

[@tamaramorozova8060]

Спасибо за возможность насладиться гениальной музыкой П. И. Чайковского в исполнении талантливейших пианисток !!

[@garysandiego]

Tchaikovsky was genius. I think that every time I hear the Nutcracker, regardless of the form of performance (or tempo!).

[@kooshva8193]

This is my favorite version of course!!!!! The beauty of the harmony between the two pianists is incredible!!!!

[@predvcecerom]

that turning sheet job is probably the best job on this planet ffs

[@yumoses]

+predvcecerom It would be so scary...what if you zone out and miss a page hahaha, or you lose your spot in trying to follow the music!

[@muppetm1999]

page turning for that length of time IS so hard! you have to stay fovuse and follow the music at the speed they are playing it- you can't afford to daydream!

[@Ternaldius]

If you know the music and sheet by heart, yes you sure can. Just gotta wait for the exact moment :p

[@nord1486]

I remember turning pages for a church organist at a local choral society concert. I accidentally turned 2 pages at once and he nearly had a coronary

[@salottin]

Was thinking about the dangers of doing the same smith did... I would die if I ever did that

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

One of my favorite selections to play and perform at the holidays. Martha and Lilya are absolutely superb . Favorite rendition. Bravissima Always so enjoyable to revisit this.

[@neilhilgrovecolledge2232]

What an awesome feast of music. Two of the greatest women pianists in history, elevating the wellbeing of mankind in such a beautiful way. May God bless them both.

[@LedraMusicSoloists]

This arrangement is by Nicolas Economou (1953-1993). I think it should be mentioned in the title.

[@ThuanaoThiBich]

Absoulutely right!

[@willearl9923]

Definitely

[@yourlocalpikachu]

I played the Ouverture Miniature with my friend before. This brings back so many memories.

[@ComposerInUK]

A real joy! Doesn't it make it all the more remarkable, though, that Tchaikovsky's invention survives intact without the orchestral textures? A master of melody, harmony as well as setting perfect little miniatures to music. I've heard a lot of people say that Tchaikovsky uses orchestration to hide his (alleged) deficiencies in other areas. Not here!

[@gezginpaksoy9665]

Deficiencies like sacrificing musical form to emotion, melody or not to have the abilty of building complex, organic, intermingled symphonies like Beethoven? They are not deficiencies. It is his style. His style was making an highly emotional music just the way it is and not bothering with building mighty structures or developing it. He even said 'I hate musical ideas that needs development'. Even though he said that he has a couple of fugues which are great. For his orchestration, his orchestration was not colorful just to be colorful but his expression and intensity demanded it to be colorful. He best expressed his emotions using ingenious orchestral combinations, textures so on. If he used an oboe in some random swan lake piece he used it because only an oboe there would give the most emotional result.

[@ryofurue]

+Gezgin Paksoy "He even said 'I hate musical ideas that needs development'. " --- Wow, did he say that? He was a different sort of genius from Beethoven for sure. I admire both. But, La valse des fleurs is overwhelmingly beautiful.

[@AKitchell]

Melodies was what Tchaikovsky excelled at. What he usually struggled with was transitions. Nevertheless, his Nutcracker Ballet (and Suite) are amazing!

[@joteibes]

Completely astounding!! Perfect, beautiful, divine... two piano goddesses!!

[@Facconti]

They both are wonderful and have so much fun while playing!

[@missjohnnyhayes]

They should've given flowers to both.

[@luizg8034]

martha's the soloist. the 2nd pianist might have received flowers off stage but i believe it is tradition to hand flowers on stage to the soloist only

[@mellisatolosa21]

My favourite part of song is after the dance of the sugar plum fairy...... I really love that!!!!....

[@ANWORDPUHobez]

Great play! To those complaining about recording quality etc.: sometimes it depends on your hardware. Try use good headphones - this MAY help.

[@psychoshamrock]

9:27 my favorite variation when I danced. Dark, moody, brooding. I love "Arabian" to this day.

[@marybethdietrick79]

Saw it danced at the Joffrey last year. VERY sensual.

[@juanterrades770]

un gran honor para mi escuchar una de las mas grandes pianistas del mundo actual como es m. argurich y su acompañante Zilberstein con ese muy buen arreglo para dos pianos del cascanueces de Tchakoski

[@HappyGlobe]

O'zbekistondan ko'ryapman! Juda Go'zal! Salomat bo'ling!

[@zeppelita]

Hermoso! Gracias por compartir este video .Que descortesía entregar un solo ramo de flores.

[@marcsmith3653]

Such masterfully playing and a wonderful transcription full of color. Thank you maestros for this beautiful performance!

[@msotil]

Nicholas Economu made this arrangement for Argerich's two young (then) girls (who must be very good pianists!). There is an excellent version of this arrangement played by Argerich and Economu.

[@maycallo6354]

アルゲリッチさん、いろんな方と共演を楽しんでいて素晴らしいです。好きですよ〜

[@guiwat]

You can hear the orchestra playing... Amazing!

[@SS-rl1mt]

大変貴重な動画をありがとうございます！！

[@katerinadimitrakaki6983]

Sublime!! Thank you so much for this wonderful performance!!

[@BB1951]

Whenever I watch too many mindless videos on KZbin, I can come here and watch the miraculous playing of Argerich /Zilberstien.

[@AlineMag]

Perfeito... O arranjo ficou excelente, a execução extremamente harmoniosa. Ouvirei sempre, obrigada por postar esse vídeo.

[@loictrip]

Une des plus sublime interprétation que j'ai pu voir !!!

[@docc1]

The arrangement is by Nicolas Economou, and is easily available from a number of sellers on the internet. What's not always so easy to find is a performance like this one. I don't know what these ladies were on. I doubt it was anything from Starbucks.

[@macbookwithak3968]

Beautiful!

[@pianoandmaths4040]

Beautiful 'Valse Des Fleurs'!!

[@scrippslarry]

Brava! I loved it, and really appreciate the post!

[@goodchessactor]

That's a normal reaction when playing two pianos. It's called catch-up. They try to maintain strict time but that's hard to do so you have this back and forth speed up and slow down.

[@goodchessactor]

I thought this was my first viewing. 4 years ago seems like ages.

[@annamccormack4101]

I love the dance of the mirlitons so much!

[@bootes53]

That's always been my favorite :)

[@Valeria-hs8zr]

Entrambe eccezionali! Molto bella la trascrizione.

[@pamelagb.585]

13:32 POOR GIRL oh goshhhh the page turner for Zilberstein got confused,id rather dieeeeeeee

[@16Lizards]

She grabbed two pages at once, but realized and corrected it very quickly. Zilberstein was not thrilled!

[@perlazgheib1447]

Yess and the way Zilberstein looked at her at the end...... Ouch.....

[@bootes53]

Eh, it was a sympathetic look, like "We've all been there". I'm sure Zilberstein turned plenty of pages for people when she was younger.

[@msotil]

Nicolas Economou made this two piano arrangement of the whole Nutcracker Suite (which includes the Waltz of the Flowers) for Martha Argerich's two young (teenagers then) daughters.

[@chrisczajasager]

how refreshing and delightful an antidote to the french sisters........

[@danielapimiento2854]

me quede sin palabras...de verdad que es fascinante

[@siegfriedgl3977]

always my favorite pieces of Tchaikovsky. In fact, I love the piano arrangement more than the original orchestral ones.

[@raimondomancino901]

Always amazing even if is piano solo. I am 16 and I damn LOVE this.

[@bootes53]

I have a book (Schirmer I believe) with almost this exact set of pieces as solos. Not really difficult though of course not as ornate as this version!

[@roberthanna8013]

Superb music

[@eirikfesker197]

I like it fast, but the concert hall is too big, its almost an only blur, too much reverb.. dont know how to describe it in english..

[@docc1]

Mystery solved. One has to enlarge the screen multi-fold. The tempo for the Trepak is marked "molto prestissimo con cocaine. Figures.

Nicolas economou's arrangements are very excellent!♡ I miss martha argerich and nicolas economou's performance..

[@herdemith]

It is available: Look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnKTmqmLZ9yYa68

[@MaxLima1]

Martha said somewhere that the transcription is by Nicolas Economou.

[@brucemcintosh8260]

As much as i prefer The Legendary Economou recording, (paired with "Cinderella"), this performance is a Stunner. Ms. Argerich works well with ANYONE, and this is why i Love watching Her perform 2 Piano Works, because, as usual, She is NOT Focussed on Argerich, or Zilberstein or Kissin or Lang-Lang, Her focus is The Composer. If you want to Hear The True Voice of ANY Composer, listen to Ms. Argerich playing it. Period. A wonderful Performance sadly marred badly by a terrible recording.

[@donkgated8074]

Argerich is a legend, but having heard her go through Schubert's D951 Rondo with Lang Lang, I must sadly disagree.

[@elspirit2000]

一緒に合わせることが凄いです

[@benjovi1866]

Lovely music.

[@tamarisauster6094]

exceptionaly well played technically correct 100%. But ladies, WHAT train are you catching...

[@Bulbophile]

+Tamaris Auster really? train? don't hear it.... sorry. just right tempi.

[@Bulbophile]

+Bulbophile if anything, that sugar plums twice as slow

[@AngelCaida1]

Tamaris Auster I agree. The Overture was way too fast.

[@carmenflamenca2011]

Who cares about tempo listening to such an inspiring interpretation!!

[@faithhopelove9567]

The beginning was too fast, but the rest was fine and it's still a beautiful interpretation.

Pity the sound is a bit distant and echoey.

ye :c it's a great prestation tho .

[@nellytoledo4259]

MARTA ARGERICH GENIAL CONCERTISTA--

[@leafararellano1167]

i feel that the both have different time one is faster i think is argerich althought that the sound is beautiful and the arreangement is amazing

[@Janaceks_Dad]

Beautiful performance, but how odd that flowers were only presented at the end to Argerich, not to them both...I realize that Argerich is the bigger "star", but still...

[@PiAn0mAn99_pianoman]

I thought exactly the same.. it was such an uncomfortable scene to watch and they both played brilliantly

[@danneidlinger4511]

Agreed. Zilberstein should have got her due.

[@florianchurch]

Feine Sound from A to Z.

[@bencarter8324]

OMG! awesome :)

[@nicolasocampo9953]

Martha must be thinking, i gotta get outta here and check out that new diner in 42nd street!

[@MadamePukengkay]

Argerich and Zilberstein must be really great pianists -- their page turners are Asians!

[@carlfriedrich6035]

no they are not they should know what they are playing without the need of sheet music paper and a page turner in the actual piano concert

[@lawrencemao6519]

lol, this made my day

[@ninifang4444]

@Carl Friedrich, Argerich is my favorite pianist and she is very talented! Don't be mean （>～

[@antonioteves5618]

You always use your sheet music when you're playing chamber music! It's not a matter of memory! ...You must be able to follow your partner(s)' part. As simple as that.

[@clintclint7673]

Carl Friedrich Loooollll shut the fuck up please.

[@lucarizzardi6139]

The most beautiful waltz (is it a non-musical statement?) was composed by Tchaikovsky, and not by the Strausses...

[@abbyshotwell]

+Luca Rizzardi, the most beautiful was composed by the Strausses, the blue danube.

[@maximiliane777]

+abbyshotwell i hate this

[@maximiliane777]

+abbyshotwell Hugo Wolf, Gustav Mahler, Tschaikowsky, Richard Strauss...All theese are better

[@charleskesner1302]

[@ruthranaudo1315]

That is a piano a range mentioned of the ballet

[@qwertyytrewq9570]

Where and when was this concert?

[@pianofanful]

This is really, really good ( as usual) Too bad about the bench and the flowers - just goes with the territory, I suppose!!

[@ForeverAyrtonSenna]

She does play very quickly, but she does in such an intensely emotional way, I think that makes it quite acceptable. Some pieces are just wonderful when they're raced through; have you listened to her playing Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto?
