Nikolayeva-Tchaikovsky-Piano Concerto No.1-part 4 of 4 (HD)

[@vladibaby79]

Legendary pianist, one of the big ones of the great russian piano tradition. And also an iconic examble of the typical combination of big wide sound and lyrical expression.

[@nancyhamm-tk8fl]

Having listened to much of her repertoire, interviews, students, family, I now consider her my favorite pianist. What a brilliant and wonderful human being!

[@camilocastiblanco6544]

She plays with the young woman's energy but with the knowledge of the looong life. Incredible.

[@Bulbophile]

she plays with the energy of a young man!

This is not playing, this is CHANNELING. You simply have to feel it in your bones.

[@naokoosada4173]

Brava!!! She was the very first pianist, whom I fell in love with one's music, when I was 4 years old. I am particularly fond of her Bach, but this one is also amazing.

[@questionreality6003]

well said; she is amazing, transfixing and spellbinding

[@user-ll1he3mj3l]

Самые лучшее исполнение этой части!, кем либо

[@SEMPRELISZT]

Such amazing passion and energy in her playing. I have no words to say how much I like her truly sensitive interpretation.

[@ЛюдмилаОвчинникова-г6я]

Неожиданно , не только с большим вкусом , но и с молодой энергией. Сто раз БРАВО !

[@bacamor5255]

How good are Russian people playing piano......OMG. A lot of respect, God bless them. Thanks Madam :)

[@AZazaxe]

her interpretation of this whole concerto is slightly under tempo than what is usually heard in concert halls. But, Nikolayeva's phrasing is impeccable - she makes the concerto so interesting with her phrasing. I think this is the best version Ive heard of Tchaikovsky's great concerto

[@elmiramuradova561]

Что за женщина! Талант невероятный. Какая энергетика бешеная. Чайковский думаю оценил бы именно ее исполнение по достоинству.

[@ирина-с7д8ш]

L'ho scoperta solo adesso grazie a you tube. Una interprete straordinaria con una sensibilità e una energia da fare invidia a Sviatoslav Richter

[@PianoAngelicus]

She’s a legend ♥️

[@georgeslambert2968]

Quelle chance d'avoir eu le bonheur de rencontrer cette immense artiste , il y a bien des années , à Bâle .... et quelle gentillesse , alors qu'elle jouait des oeuvres de Shostakovitch

[@mattdavidson779]

Phrasing is so inspiring. As a fellow pianist , youngsters need to be made to sit down and understand. She has insight into this concerto likely to have been passed on direct decent from Tchaikovsky and his friends. Thank you so so much. I wish I heard this 50 years ago. Thank you .

[@KarinWettig]

I fell in love with her playing style - she is a miracle - perfect...

[@НадеждаБогданова-р7э]

Радость видеть её! Счастье слушать ! Татьяна Петровна,вы- само СОВЕРШЕНСТВО!!! Люблю,я,Вас! 28.06.2021.

[@Multieduardo1962]

Incredible, this energy is the outside the body, the age, her fingers are moving with her soul, not Arrau or Horowitz, played like that at that age. great performer, great pianist, one of the best rusian pianists.

[@andrewkennaugh1065]

Multieduardo1962 ...She was actually only 69 years old when she died!😚Arrau,Rubinstein and Horowitz all gave wonderful concerts well into their eighties...!😊😂

[@s.j.sparber6946]

when you catch the very essence of a great composer you are sitting on the lap of their affection!!! Bravo to the orchestra and the Grand maestra!!!

[@phwbooth]

"After the Second World War, Dmitri Shostakovich was Russia's most prominent composer. Although out of favour with the Soviet Communist Party, he was still sent abroad as a cultural ambassador. One such trip was to Leipzig in 1950 for a music festival marking the bicentennial of J. S. Bach's death. As part of the festival, Shostakovich was asked to sit on the judging panel for the first International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition. One of the entrants in the competition was the 26-year-old Tatiana Nikolayeva from Moscow. Though not required by competition regulations, she had come prepared to play any of the 48 preludes and fugues of The Well-Tempered Clavier on request. She won the gold medal. Inspired by the competition and impressed by Nikolayeva's playing, Shostakovich returned to Moscow and started composing his own cycle of 24 preludes and fugues. Shostakovich worked fairly quickly, taking only three days on average to write each piece. As each was completed, he would ask Nikolayeva to come and visit him in his Moscow apartment where he would play her the latest piece. The complete work was written between 10 October 1950 and 25 February 1951. Once finished, Shostakovich dedicated the work to Nikolayeva, who undertook the public premiere in Leningrad on 23 December 1952. Shostakovich wrote out all the pieces without many corrections except the B♭ minor prelude, with which he was dissatisfied and replaced what he had begun initially."

[@Elomere]

I've always loved her Bach, but this is wonderful too!

[@Bulbophile]

you know, we often say, 'is there anything new to add to this concerto?' seems the interpretive potential of this piece is inexhaustible! This time, first time to hear, Nikolayeva's interpretation... is new and different. Even if she's been playing the piece this way from behind the iron curtain for decades. Love it, especially her somehow giving arbitrary scale figurations a kind of melodic feel. Very different. Very nice!

[@EmanuelaZucchi]

[@ChrisBreemer]

If ever there was a Grand Old Lady of piano playing it is Nikolayeva. A prime exponent of the Russian school, looking like everybody's favourite grandmother. Her playing is both awesome and touchingly human.

[@fickle3835]

This is absolutely magnific!!!

[@JessicaWilliamspianist]

We do what we do. We are only limited by other's opinions and our own minds. When you hear this music, you realize that our abilities are vast. Tatjana will always remain one of my favorite pianists, right along with Argerich and Gould. Valentina Lisitsa is another. And yes, McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock also. "There's only two types of music - the good kind, and the other kind." That was Duke Ellington. He was right.

Increadible!!! She is just great!!!! Never heard such Polyponie and raffinesse in this Concert...

[@hyramesshiramess1035]

Just FANTASTIC! I really loved it. To see a stout old grandmother sit down and take over the room in such a grand manner is sheer delight. I love the way she handles certain passages others feel compelled to take at breakneck speeds. Instead she plays them HER WAY -- with intelligence and great musical insight. It's a CRIME that the second of these four parts has been blocked out. Petty tyranny, if you ask me. A wonderful performance!

[@fairly75]

she was greit. very pity that few her writes, as Skrjabin, her work been very good.

[@lkrupp215]

Her command of the instrument is absolute. Not even Argerich plays like that.

[@janicezany]

Umm Lawrence, no - Argerich does not play like that - she plays a whole lot BETTER!! But my comment is not to disparage this lady's playing (bloopers and all). She plays fantastically for her age (don't know what it was at this performance, but she died at 69). Argerich is still going strong at *75*, knocking out Prokofiev concertos as if they were Mozart (and she was 35!), and could probably record the Art of the Fugue if anyone asked her.

[@nikolaacimovic8854]

yes...very expressive playing,what is in the fact the goal of a russian piano school,tonal and expressive beauty surpasses all technical difficulties...Tcaikovsky is on of the most demanding composers to play on piano because he himself was not a pianist.He created such tremendous technical aspects,that are by the most of pianist descriebed as very unpleasent...That is why one should be concentrated on the inividual way of achieving performance level,dictated by individual shaping of the phrasing and knowing own musical goal...Even very experienced pianists put they hand away from this concerto...On the other hand it sounds so fluent,that one could think yes it is very easy to play...I take as a example and very good preparation for playing this concerto the cicle of the "Seasons" of Tcaikovsky...There are so complicated harmonical aspects in it,what implies listening of liturgical works...Tcaikovsky overall:the great tonal and melodic beauty and very difficult battle to get that to the performance level!

[@rigel48]

No, Tchaikovsky was a good pianist. For instance : in 1859 he played brilliantly Liszt's reminiscences of Lucia de Lamermoor, and in 1878 he played the piano part of his violin concerto arranged for violin and piano with violinist Iosif Kotek. But he was not a virtuoso like Chopin, Liszt or Rachmaninov. Anyway he did know how to compose for the piano, no offense to those who claim the opposite.

[@nikolaacimovic8854]

Tchaikovsky was NOT pianist. The fact that he played piano does not qualify him as a pianist, even then when he did play what he did in a very good way. How we can know how good he was? I can only judge of him as a composer, because that is available to us. Almost anyone who experienced playing Tchaikovsky knows about this unpleasent feeling in hands lerning Tchaikovsky. It sugests to the pianist the composer who did not know so much what is for the pianist the best way. Playing Tchaikovsky is not the same fluent experience like with Chopen. It does not qualify Tchaikovsky as a bad composer, in fact, he is brilliant,but his pianistic unexperience ist obvious...

[@rigel48]

I thought you meant that Tchaikovsky did not play the piano. Of course he was not a concert pianist and it is why he asked advice to virtuosos like Rubinstein (Nikolai), Taneyev or Siloti for the piano writing of his concertos.
