I’m not a pianist, nor am I some sort of master of classical music. I’m just a simple man enjoying the simple things of life. This moved me correctly..

Angelical… a music prayer.

Magic

Beautiful. It’s a real shame she never recorded the Shostakovich piano concertos. I guess we will have to make do with this video AND her recordings of the Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues… which are priceless. Thanks to whoever for sharing this.

All those years of playing definitely took their toll on her hands

I heard Tatiana Nikolayeva in Lausanne, where she played Bach's The Art of Fugue. It was one of the greatest concerts of my life. Here, she plays with profound simplicity, free of artifice, reaching the very essence of musical expression. I am moved 30 years after this recording happened.

She plays beautifully but, why do you think this is the most breathtaking moment in music??

Lovely and played with love.

Mesmerizing composition and performance ❤

A moment of pure magic. I choked throughout her sublime playing. Certain modern pianists with their lavishing "hair throwing" and "diva gestures" should learn how to become authentic musicians like Ms. Nikolayeva.

Thank you! Interesting to compare this more emotional interpretation with Shostakovich's own, very dry (which also can be found on RUclips). Nice to have a score to follow!

Wow!!!!!!

Magnifique 🤩 🎶🎶🎼

As a young pianist! 😅😅 These performances by our teachers are teaching us how they was taught and there interpretation of the composition. And l ( as many other students of music ) is a learning experience from our elder teachers. And like Claudio Arrau said ( if you do not like it . Don’t listen. ) But if you do be bless . Because like a lot of students. Any thing that our greatest living teacher ( Martha Argerich) we are studying everything she do . She might as well have a you tube channel. Because her trills, her repeated notes, her octaves. And lord nos❤her one finger scale just blows us away😅😅😅

I was at this concert! Will never forget it. Thanks for this treasure.

Ah but listen to Leonard Bernstein play it.His playing is otherworldly.Nikolayeva's timing is very strange.

Thank you so much!! This is transporting, melodious, and much more. 🎉

That’s such a normal looking dress…

She played this one year before her own death. R.i.P. Tatyana Nikolayeva

Rich, dreamy, sublime.

This piece is soooo beautiful. My goal is to orchestrate this. As I listen, I can’t help but hear the different textures of the orchestra playing in my mind. 🎵

Thank you for making us understand why only men are geniuses.

Beautiful, but I'm with those who think the title is way over-the-top.

Прекрасно!

I was waiting for the most breathtaking moment. There's so many others in classical music that I don't see why this one stands out. Nice bit of music but I wouldn't single it out.

Heard her play the Shostakovich preludes and fugues at the Edinburgh Festival Fantastic A great privilege

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Yes, wonderful ! But "the most breathtaking moment in music" ? Well, that's a rather big claim.

In music, words like 'most' and 'best' are mostly used by fools and click-seekers.

Είναι υπέροχο!!!

I vividly hearing this as a teenager, sixty years ago! The magic still remains. Thanks!

Absolutely beautiful! I hadn't seen this before - what a gem. (I should point out that the conductor is actually Sir Andrew Davis, not Andrew Davies.)

I go for the best (Rachmaninoff op.18/Beethoven op.73/Chopin op.58 ....)

magnifique

Beautiful. Thank you. Shostakovich is my favorite 20th Century composer. But SORRY, every 'most breathtaking moment in music' includes BRASS. See Shostakovich Symphony No, 5.

Beautiful!

Wow…magic.

One of the great pianists of the twenty first century. Great in Chopin.

Wow. A masterclass from both the orchestra and Nikolayeva. The treatment of dynamics is just superb. So much to be learned from just listening closely.

The masks are the only indication that this heavenly ocurrence is taking place in the bowels of hell.

Sir Andrew Davis, who died last year.

Благодарю Вас,конечно! Но как мне хочется и увидеть,и услышать исполнение в полном формате,чтобы видно было и оркестр,и Татьяну Петровну. Завораживающее исполнение! Какая она одухотворённая и красивая!

Ах,как это прекрасно! Я люблю Татьяну Петровну Николаеву, да продлиться её жизнь в вечности,если это возможно. 10.1.2025.

Both composition and playing are so Rachmaninov!

Danke

Bravo!!
