Tchaikovsky/Gryaznov - Waltz of the Flowers

Merry Christmas! Here is a concert arrangement of the famous Waltz of the Flowers. I underestimated this piece 2 years in a row, so this year I gave myself plenty of time to prepare for the holiday season. I'm sure my neighbors are tired from 3 months of Christmas by now.
I found this piece to be challenging both technically and musically, as I believe it is written in such a way to encourage a different perspective from the usual orchestral rendition. It is pretty faithful in spirit to the original, although at the end Tchaikovsky suddenly turns into Rachmaninoff.
Score: gryaznoff.com/works/published...
Recorded on a Steinway D in my living room.

Weeeelll done! I would never recorded it in one take so clean 😂🙃 even after 3 month of Christmas

This pianist is so pianistic suave; with his arrangements too. The waltz of the flowers has been one of my favorites since, I suspect, from my dear mother’s womb. Perhaps, ole Tchaikovsky was thinking mostly of roses while writing this masterpiece? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm? PWG

[@hackmaninoff]

My favourite pianist delivers again. Bravo mate, your recordings are inspiring! 😊

[@nobbbbbbbby]

Superb! Excellent transcription and performance!

[@ChrisLuan]

Seriously well done! The way you bring out certain melodic lines is just *chef's kiss*

[@yevheniykahanovych7147]

This is absolutely brilliant. Arrangement is richly, tastefully and elegantly «orchestrated» , without a single original note, theme or instrument lost. Performance is equally brilliant: with balanced temper, in beautifully combined tempos and technically inventive. A huge joy! Great thanks and applauses!

Wow!!! That's wonderful, Bravo! Tommaso

[@Espejo-hv2nz]

¡Extraordinario! 👍

[@JPDC624]

Wow. Just... wow. So delicate and perfect. And my goodness, that Steinway not only sounds insanely great (you can hear it in the ambience of your recordings), but however you are recording, keep doing exactly what you are doing. It's like any professional recording, SO pleasing to listen to. I've been recording and mixing since the 80s and I want to hear you describe it all on a podcast or something, lol!

merry christmas goat

[@adrianalejandromonasterios5984]

Espectacular Felicidades. Yo también estoy practicando ese vals. Espero ya tenerlo listo cuando llegue navidad

[@AlansPiano]

Long time no see!!! Merry Christmas 🎄🎄😂

[@kevinzhang5135]

Absolutely beautiful, Mr. Gryaznov! Would you consider making an arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's The Young Prince and The Young Princess? There's so many beautiful melodies and climaxes that I think would be wonderful on piano and I think you would do a masterful job of it. Hope you consider!

[@uzaysametaydin]

yeah maannn

[@virtualpoboy]

Young Lady, No matter what piece you have selected to share, whether it is contemporary or a respected cornerstone of the repertoire, you Always play the way music asks us to play, FROM THE HEART, and YOU are a MASTER OF THIS! Whether it be a little bonbon for keys or a juggernaut of the literature, your heart is there, guiding your fingers to express what the piece elicits for yours. What a wonderful way for us to hear your musical heart, a treat every time! Thank You!

When is Steinway singning you up as a recording artist?

[@user-rh9yp5vr7x]

Lacks the ultimate bravura and imagination of Percy Grainger.
