Daniil Trifonov - Chopin: Scherzo op.54 n.4 - San Marino Piano Competition 2008

[formerlyaskeptic1]

A little ungraceful at times and technically struggling slightly, but musically very effective. Overall, beautiful interpretation.

[jiggsuhhh]

The maturity and artistic depth here are a truly astounding find in a 17 year old young man. He should become one of the greatest. I hope to hear him for many years to come.

splendido! elegantissimo e perfetto!!

[FrankyyBalboa]

Respect man. Perfect play!

Applause for you.

Oh my goodness, this gorgeous...It's the Trifonov effect in full: terrifying virtuosity, unearthly beauty, refined musical tastes, and something deeply compelling that lies perhaps between the notes that does not hesitate to enchant and absolutely envelop the listener...

[rubestuh]

He is already a great pianist, imo.

Such taste, such refined use of stupendous technique, such lack of obvious and empty 'show.'

I've seldom heard such natural phrasing in a teenager.

My gawd, he's one to watch.

if 5 stars is the top grade, then i give this performance ten!!! absolutely incredible balance of lyricism, voicing, tenderness, and agitato which is exactly what i am sure this music represents. bravissimo ..it's like hearing it again for the first time ;)

[TunaFishA444]

Lyricism of the highest order. I don't know if I've ever heard anything quite like this. What an incredibly sensitive and articulate musician.

[TheArvenEvenstar]

C'est genial!

[SergRach1]

He is going to be the winner of the Chopin Concours in Poland, there is no doubt about that !

[legamature]

Is there no end to the number of amazing pianists? How will they all find work?

esecuzione perfetta... x suonare questo scherzo ci vogliono stomaco (per la difficoltà) e cuore (per trasmettere il messaggio del compositore): lui ce li ha avuti.
