Daniil Trifonov - Sonata in B minor, Op. 58 (third stage, 2010)

[@davidhertzberg]

No matter how many times I hear the fourth movement, I get shivers up and down my spine. Surely this is one of the pinnacles of Chopin's musical achievements.

[@T-J-S]

Same here. Pure genius

[@dka5631]

i get it too, but only from Trifonov interpretation

[@dka5631]

​@@davidhertzberg thank you. I enjoy many recordings, but for 4th mvt. only Trifonov gets me chills. For my taste I think most pianists neglect 'agitato' and have it sound more casual/straightforward. Trifonov introduces triplets, then does accelerando second phrase - really underlining a demonic character. And in the octave form plays heavy russian style But! Trifonov mvt1 im not particularly fan of 🙂

Absolutely SUPERB! Now that's a pianist whose playing cannot be described as "boring". Thats what makes classical music alive.

Perfect performance, and the piano sounds beautiful.

I believe this music came to us from heaven via Fryderyk Chopin. No matter how many times I hear it I can not be bored. Daniil is an excelent performer. I wish I could play like him.

Why? Is it difficult? Sorry for stupid question, never touched a piano lol.

[@rivonthecliff]

it is utterly insane to attempt this sonata on a live stage

[@dora9103]

@@danielbaggins7341 this is a competition and only a few or maybe no one except DT (I'm not sure about this tho) is confident enough to bring such emotionally and techincally difficult piece into a competition. But of course for DT it's a chance to play this brilliantly on the third stage (basically passing the third stage 😏).

[@JohannesC-c9k]

To play like this is genius. 88 keys, 10 fingers, genius mind and genius composer. What magical sounds Chopin brought from the piano. Brilliants pianist you are Daniil.

[@gliddyglupgloopy]

As a student in my last year at University, I performed this work. I was not nearly as polished and mature of a player as Trifonov is now, but I still fell in love with this piece with all its incredible melodies, inner voicings and its exciting arpeggiated & scalar passages, especially in the Finale. Trifonov plays this from a deep spiritual place, in my opinion. I can even see the love that he expresses in his physical technique and in his body language and facial expressions. I am thinking of revisiting this work after almost 40 years, as he has really inspired me. I love your playing of this work Daniil!!

His performance of the third mouvement (Largo) is very unique and special. His personal choice of voicing the upper note on the right hand rather than emphasizing the lower notes on the left hand is executed quite exquisitely. Excellent 👌🏻

[@artje123]

Pity that in a world with so many talented people, no one is dedicated to actually creating new classical music that is accessible and appreciated by a big audience like this music, just because it would be considered imitation or an out of date style. There must be someone around capable of composing music in the style of Chopin or other classical masters that may not be original in style but more enjoyable to the general public than most contemporary classical (ie seemingly random notes and cacophony)...

[@jorianvannee9590]

Yes, agreed :) With 7 billion people there must be enough quality to equal or even improve the kind of music we love the most. I think we shouldnt per se try to imitate old masters, but let them influence us in our writing, so that everybody creates there own identity with all the things they love the most about music. I feel like modern classical music lacks a bit of that inspiration and influence, most of it seems to want to be a completely 'new' and 'unique' thing, but music has always been building further on things that already existed, just like science, we didnt immediately start with wifi and ipads. Making a complete new musical thing just seems so rubbish, I think it would be great if people arent afraid to get heavily influenced by composers they love, and with that theyll make there own thing.

I understand, but technically classical music never died, it just evolved. As baroque went to classical ,classical to romantic,romantic to contemporary, it would be like rachmaninoff to write a 4th piano concerto but it sounds like Bach lol, it just wouldn’t make sense.but yes I agree that this is the best classical music stylistically and it’s gone very downhill with a lot of the works of today lol

[@buckylove6918]

recently discovered fantasy op 49 and reminded me of this piece. It has some similar elements but perfected here. No wonder he wrote this 3 years after. I think this piece kind of goes beyond our reality a bit. Sometimes i think Mozart didn't compose, but discovered, like It already existed. For Chopin, I think he went there, and the score is a tangent point to it. The score is evidence of it like footprints in the snow. I don't know if its real or not.
