This is the only reading of the Tchaikovsky trio I find to rival that of Heifetz, Rubinstein, and Piatigorsky that I listened to as a little boy. I'm almost 70! If these three stay together, they're going to be setting the bar for a long time to come.
Tchaikovsky's "Piano Trio" is a clear winner of the genre. There are such a great amount of beautiful melodies. Listen to the theme of the second movement, for example. Simple, even naive melody but at the same time very skillful. And here the musicians gives their all for the music. Magnificent performance in all aspects! Bravo!!

What fantastic young musicians! As fine a performance of this deeply moving work as I have ever heard. There is nowhere to hide in a chamber music piece, and their playing is as immaculate as it is heartfelt.
This piano part is the HARDEST piano piece Tchaikovsky ever wrote! Harder than his concerti! ... That always surprises me anytime I listen to this trio!
I'm 74 now. And I find this performance just as exciting as I ever did. Maybe more so. These three young people are flying so high above mere technical difficulty that it scarcely bears mention. The depth of feeling they bring out of it makes me want to smile and weep for Tchaikovsky's love and longing for his departed friend. Sometimes I do. This video is a rare treasure.
Remarkable performance, played with intensity and commitment to this masterpiece of Tchaikovsky, one of the high points of 19th century chamber music. As with so much of Tchaikovsky, the "story" involves the attainment of great triumph, only to meet a tragic downfall at the moment of highest exaltation, leading to desolation and death; with the seeds of destruction having been there all along, concealed in the tragic relationship of the theme of the second movement to the elegiac theme of the first movement. This is the same "fate" expressed in the motto to the Fourth Symphony, always there waiting to impose death where there had been triumph.
such a soulful autobiographical work--that's what make Tchaikovsky so wonderful of his oevre in general---he lays his heart on the line and one cannot help but respond with sympathy, rapture and joy....
A fantastic performance, so very very good it must be true, by three brilliant and inspired musicians, who play with as much fire-even a touch of ferocity at times, as required- as sensitivity and lyrical flair, a disarming abandon that captivates, masking great control and discipline, in so wonderful and creative a cause, revelation of Tchaikovsky as a grand master amongst the greatest of composers,in all genres, notably chamber music
+Ralph Berney Ditto Ralph. These players are bloody tops. And what a rewarding piece! I had never heard Tchaikovsky's rendition in a trio. This is marvellous!
I have listened to this trio countless times so far, and every time I find it more beautiful and moving. Great composition and fantastic performance. Thank you for sharing such a treasure!
As Ralph Berney says below, this is such a free-spirited and inspired performance of much-neglected work. Proof again - if ever it were needed - that Tchaikovsky didn't just write noisy orchestral music (which I love, by the way!) Here he is profound and so skilled in managing the contrasting textures of the trio. Great music, beautifully performed. Thank you for sharing :)
Tchaikovsky’s control of string textures is scary good. It’s amazing that someone with no experience as a string player could understand the “quirks” that each instrument brings to a performance
Who are the musicians? This is a nearly perfect performance of a murderously difficult score (particularly for the pianist). The fall from the peak to the depths brings tears to my eyes.
The 3 musicians met each other when they were pursuing their graduate degrees at the New England Conservatory in Boston. This performance was a project done for the semester at the school. They are now as active individual performers in different venues.
The violin and cello parts are really hard also, but all the pianists think the piano part is always harder than the other's. With Ravel Trio this is considered one of the hardest piece trio for the violin and chelo.
You and all the other piano fans are such insufferably ignorant twats in these comment sections. You think the more notes a part consists of, the more difficult it is to play. It doesn’t work that way. Do you truly not realise how much easier it is to play a note on piano than on any non-percussive instrument? The piano is like a set of drums; not like an oboe, clarinet, cello or euphonium. It’s not a voice. You clearly don’t understand how difficult it is to create even one (1) beautiful sound on bowed string and wind instruments.
@@euomu Spoken like a true ignorant. Do you even play an instrument? I play piano, violin, flute and trombone. Piano and violin I did a double major for in my undergraduate studies and am now doing a master's in piano performance. Both are equally as difficult in my opinon. Yes, I've been playing for violin 16 years and piano only 12 so it was "easier" to learn piano but I found it difficult to do well with my piano repetoire than my violin repetoire. In this piece in particular, I've played all movements only once and played the piano in the last year of my undergraduate and it was one of the most stressful times in my entire university life. I have also played the violin part for the first movement for a mid-day recital in my 2nd year and took me maybe 2 weeks to really get it to where I wanted it and just practiced it to perfect it for the mid-day recital. As someone who plays both instruments, the piano is the most technically challenging in this piece. Both the violin and cello are ALSO challenging in this piece but the piece is so heavily written around the piano that if the violin or cello made a mistake, it wouldn't be easily detected but if the piano did... it wouldn't end so well. I highly doubt you play an instrument and if you do, I don't know how you do well with your mindset. Yes, piano you don't have to worry about intonation and other worries but I find it easier to move more quickly and smoothly with violin than piano. I find the piano more challenging when it comes to knowing proper fingering and how to move about the instrument than the violin.
I love watching students play this piece! For one, you know they put a great deal of work into it, instead of simply adding it to their repertoire like many professional ensembles do, but also it's so infrequent that you hear professionals play the entire Finale. There's a cut that takes away the very meaning of the final variation. I've always thought this was a tragedy. It's a Trio in two movements, but with a Finale that's intended to be the third and final movement. I know, I know...he approved the cuts, but to remove the development from the "final movement" just to save time and energy is just plain stupid. This piece was written in memory of (speculatively) the love of his life. The performers should be as physically exhausted as they are emotionally.
My only complaint is that I fear that the microphones were placed with the camera, and that the cellist’s music stand blocked the acoustic holes in her cello, making the instrument difficult to hear. It could have been a better mix, though the musicians were fantastic.
這是一場精彩的表演。 你們都是偉大的音樂家，我崇拜你們。 繼續努力，你值得表揚。This was a fabulous performance. You are all great musicians and I adore you. Keep up the great work and you deserve much praise.
Excelente versão, ótimo timing e como conjunto, com excelente unidade, sintonia entre os três. Uma das melhores que tenho visto, lembra a virtuosística versão com Heifetz,. A. R. e G.P.. Também gosto da abordagem de Perlman, L.H. e V.Ashkenazy, em andamento mais calmo, no geral. Em outras versões, com músicos famosos, falta justamente a unidade, a integração entre os membros do trio e a própria música. Minha opinião. Sucesso aos 3 jovens do Concorde!
Tchaikovsky wrote a Short PIano Trio Part in the 2nd Movement of his 2nd Piano Concerto. He should've written a Piano Trio Concerto like Beethoven did once. Although it was a pretty movement from the No. 2 Concerto because Violin, Cello, and Piano go very well together with orchestra.
Uh, Albert, this may come as news to you but a piano concerto is not a symphony. And where did you get Amadeus for Beethoven's middle name? Did you forget to take your meds today?

Yes, the Rubinstein, Heifetz, Piatigorsky version is my favorite, but these young musicians do this piece proud.

That's very rock'n'roll of you!
But a microphone does not hear like a human ear.
So this argument for the use of a camera-, "ambient"- or "one point"- microphone is not correct.
Wonderful
