[Reviews]
By Harvey Steiman:
"[...] the Rachmaninoff concerto, which in its 1941 revision keeps everyone on their toes. Its high energy could tempt the soloist, especially, to clang away, but Trifonov found ways to soften tone and weave in moments of delicate filigree among denser passages. In the opening movement, his touch was silvery, and sweet against the persistently brooding orchestral melody in the Largo. In the finale, he soared with fleet deftness as the orchestra kept pace with equal verve.
Trifonov’s encore calmed things down: his own piano arrangement of Rachmaninoff’s Vocalise that felt like a jazz ballad. [...]"

By James Roy MacBean:
"[...] Needless to say, Daniil Trifonov’s awesome technical prowess was more than up to meeting and transcending the difficulties. Here, in this finale, we recognise what Martha Argerich noted when she first heard Trifonov play in Carnegie Hall: Trifonov combines formidable technique with an element of the demonic in his playing. Along with Martha Argerich we can only agree that “we have never heard anything quite like that before.” Daniil Trifonov, now aged 27, only gets better and better, if that’s possible. I can’t wait to hear him again and again. [...]"

Interview with KDFC's Jeffrey Freymann in September 2019:

"We can hear influences of music of 1920s. And some, maybe jazz influences, maybe a little bit of Gershwin or Ravel, but at the same it’s still very Rachmaninoff… To me, it’s music very much of a time. Like I feel also some even industrial elements in it, in, for example, how the orchestra very often uses certain rhythmical ostinato that brings to mind all of the industrialization that was happening at that time, and it’s much more urban concerto, compared to his other works.”
"The pianistic writing is already noticeably less full, it’s more scarce, maybe, in the sense that only the most essential elements are in the piano part… But already here, orchestra has a lot of thematic roles, and many places where piano is in the background, or just a part of orchestral texture, for example in development section of finale… The piece also employs orchestra to a much more prominent extent than in his previous concerti, and we’ll see a continuation of that in his next work, which would be the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini."

"With the Fourth Concerto, Rachmaninov pushes musical language in a new direction - and succeeds! The spirit is very much of its time. The feeling is jazzy, mechanical - almost enginelike - you hear the influence of film music, of industry. There are of course glimpses of Rachmaninov’s cantabile melodies in that characteristic Russian idiom, but the harmonies are more risky, the music is edgy. From a technical point of view, the piano playing must be extremely light and explosive - as must the orchestra’s, too. Rachmaninov treats the orchestra almost like a second soloist. The writing is very virtuosic. There is a momentum and drive to the piece. The first movement is like a train accelerating down the tracks, and during the piece you see stations and cities and scenes of nature all flashing by out the window. The Fourth Concerto is like sharing a journey with Rachmaninov through the musical mosaic of his world." says Daniil.

Восхитительный анализ 4 концерта Рахманинова.Даниил не только гениальный пианист,но еще и необычайно умный человек.Браво!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@elisabethbaumer-sn8go]

​​@@Ирина-е8ф2й bin ganz Deiner Meinung Irina ! Das Rehearsal ist zum Dahinschmelzen ! Und es ist mir immer eine Freude, Daniil in einem Interview zuzuhören . ❤

[@elisabethbaumer-sn8go]

Lieber Daniil Trifonov Fan, hatten Sie nicht Beethoven 1 aus Rotterdam vom 14.1 23 in Ihrer Liste ? Jedenfalls ist es nicht mehr auf You Tube. Seltsam, wie viele neue Videos von Daniil verschwinden !? Haben Sie eine Ahnung warum ? 🤔

[@daniiltrifonov_fan]

@@elisabethbaumer-sn8go I believe many KZbin videos have been blocked due to copyright issues. Some of my videos, including Rameau's 'La Triomphante,' were recently removed based on Universal Music Group's copyright removal request. If I get two more copyright strikes within three months, my channel will be terminated. It will be difficult to update for a while. By the way, Daniil's incredible performance with the Rotterdam Philharmonic and Lahav Shani was not on my channel. You may hear the concert here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKWlnZ-ZedBjqs0si=r7IECIUGLoCgtTGl Enjoy! :)

@@daniiltrifonov_fan herzlichen Dank für Ihre leider unerfreulichen Nachrichten. Für mich ist ganz klar ,dass die Politik auf UMG Einfluss nimmt. Nur weil Daniil gebürtiger Russe ist !? Man will alles,was uns noch an Völkerverbindung bleibt eliminieren. Bin in Sorge wie Daniil darauf reagieren wird. Es ist einfach nur zutiefst traurig ! Es wäre ein herber Verlust Ihren sehr guten Kanal nicht mehr zu haben. Sie, lieber Daniil Trifonov Fan haben uns das Beste geboten . Dafür vielen Dank ! Freundliche Grüße Elisabeth Baumer. ❤️

I love the 4th. Especially the etherial passage in the first movement that takes us up to the heavens.

Qué concierto tan hermoso y romántico! Viva Rachmaninov! Bravo Daniil! ❤

[@789armstrong]

Awesome!

[@Vincent-ig2cb]

Wonderful music, wonderful composer, wonderful Trifonov. Is that a Fazioli by the way, does anybody know. It has a more metalic sound than the usual S&s?

[@paulgreen6921]

………..And at 3:58 the piano introduces “the Egyptian Oasis Theme” which title occurred to me when first hearing this masterpiece about thirty-five years ago. This concerto is my favorite of the four. I have called it a distillation of the previous three. Can’t get enough of the “Rach” four. PWG. P.S. brother Trifonov kicks it up several notches of course!

Qué tendrá que ver esta maravillosa música con algo egipcio…lo que hay que leer…
