Trull: Prokofiev 3rd excerpt (1986)

[magdapiano]

so unfair...she should have won!!!!!!!

[robert982]

Wow.

[lalalol1000]

fail clarinet at 1:39 LOL

[robert982]

@lalalol1000 hahahahhahah

[jhudd2]

Argerich does not play an easier version. Not sure where you came up with that one. She learned this piece while listening to her roommate play it. I just think Argerich's version is better. no bid deal

[jefftam1234]

@jhudd2 Argerich did the glissando in 2:06 part instead of the true way like Trull did.

[musicy88]

exTREMEly exciting! 

[flicfan416]

That was exemplary, to be honest. As much as I like Barry Douglas, I think this woman really brought the greatest technique to competition.

[eloisacascio]

uno dei pochi pianisti che non corregge il tempo dell'orchestra nella parte finale...

[MrZeyn1]

pomoemu krome Virsaladze ni kto ne v sostoyanii  sigrat eti sekundi tak kak napisal sam S.Sergeevich )))i ne tolko sekundi )) spasibo za vnimamie,.P.S no Trull klassno pridumala s etitimi sekundami Brava)))

[jhudd2]

Argerich makes the glissando like passages look like a cake walk. She seems a little dramatic

[meneltar]

@jhudd2 It seems that there are different ways of playing that passage. I don't know it deeply enough, but Martha plays an "easier" version, while Trull is one of the few to play the harder one. I, personally, don't see the difference.

But, anyway, Trull has a different way of playing than Martha, who's more "free", natural.

Natalia was my first piano teacher. I remember her being away for this competition. It's so great to see these old recordings of her.

@zelik23

You're a very lucky person. This woman is the most thrilling interpreter of Prokofiev I have ever heard.

[logenisti]

A russian Patti Smith! :)

[logenisti]

Thanks for posting this.

I remember seeing this on PBS in 1986 when it aired originally.

One of the best performances of this piece ever!

[vincefesalbon]

Thank you very much for posting this!!! This is amazing playing and composing!

[houseofblackleaves]

The double glissando is amazing here.

[chad410]

The Tchaikovsky has very high standards. i remember seeing her on telly and was amazed as i was with barry tooo.

[jannokas85]

She's amazing!!! But Argerich seemed more at ease playing this. Her wrists look a tiny bit stiff...or does it just look like that?

[cdpiano27]

Natalia Trull is currently professor at the Moscow Conservatory at this time.

[weikko79]

I hear she's a very good professor.

[StefanoGuarascio]

@weikko79 She's really a wonderful pianist and also a wonderful inspirational teacher!

[uo12345678910]

OMG those glissando things WOW !!!!!!

[jero13595]

YES!!!!!

[Werwolf2x]

wow, simply wow! she's completely absorbed by the music! still, i don't know, how she played this glissando-like part, which is obviously no glissando?

[cdpiano27]

Great! Does anyone happen to have the playing of Victor Rodriguez, the sixth prize winner, and only Cuban prizewinner of the Tchaikovsky Competition, which was this year 1986? Also, David Buechner, as well?

[medpiano]

yes, but they are given such tiny, tiny excerpts from the Tchaik 1st and some other etude in the prelims--it's one piece but they use like 5 pianists merged together--not really worth it unfortunately.

[3cplantin]

It's Jane Hathaway!

Seriously, what a beautiful job she did. I'd love to hear more of this competition or some recordings. Anybody know if she tours?

[theoshow2]

I didn't know David Koresh played the pianoforte! Way too many wrong notes (as-written??)

[bassethound1]

@theoshow2 What an idiotic statement.

[classicalman114]

WOW.

[dasteufelhund]

wow....this was superhuman performance. The "YES!" appeared in the left over right, was perfect.

[ssprokofiev]

Excellent! I'd like to hear the whole thing, but I'd guess it doesn't exist.

[4444matthew4444]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that....was...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
