What a lovely and great piece from Spartacus. Played extremely well and impressive, with such a passion and emotion. We were fortunate to meet and spend time with him in several occasions in West Berlin, Germany, 1966 thru 1973. I love all his compositions!
I have been listening to this performance again and again over the last five years . It gets better and better as every time I discover a new subtle tone. This is a privilege to hear especially from the master pianist .
It is absolutely gorgeous, ineffable and may have a transcendence as only felt in communion with the divine and beautiful! Sir Matthew Cameron, great soul and pianist!
One of the most beautiful symphonies ever written, top ten of all time. To hear it done in solo piano is astounding. The innovation, skill and time to compose this and do it so much justice is a reward that gives more to the hearer more than is deserved.
Despite Having absolutely no musical talent myself, I think I can recognize genius when I see it. I am in tears watching this, that the human brain is capable of remembering, and that those marvellous hands can perform so beautifully. And the adagio by Katchaturian is hauntingly lovely. Sad how he was treated. Thankyou Mr. Cameron. I am just in awe. absolute awe of your performance your talent and your gift. -Bill in canada
Great piano performance of this classic adagio by Aram Khachaturian from his ballet suite, 'Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia'. Wonderfully executed as a piano score, Matthew. Wonderful!
Bravo...I have admired the Khachaturian "Spartacus" since childhood, and heard it quite often-now over 40 years-but I have never heard it played so expertly and beautifully as Cameron's incredible interpretation. Thank you!
splendide melodie e armonizzazione in questo brano sublime! Complimenti anche al pianista che ha saputo renderlo in modo trasfigurato e poetico. Bravo Kachaturian ma anche Matthew Cameron!
Bellisima interpretacion! Bravo, Bravo Mil gracias (las lagrimas me saltan de los ojos por tanta emocion y belleza) Mi eterno agradecimiento a Matthew por regalarnos tan bella transcripcion. Ojala la pudiera conseguir aqui en Mexico.
Thanks so much for posting this. It's one of my favorite pieces of music, and this performance is so full of emotion it makes me weep (in the absolutely best way). Truly lovely!
It is really a stunning transcription of this Adagio. One of the most beautiful interpretations of this page I have ever listened to. Matthew, you are indeed absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing your great talent.
Hola. Una noche escuché esta obra en la radio y dije que buen arreglo de "My way", que fantástico quedó, el arreglador debe haber estado muy inspirado me dije, ¿Quién podría haber tomado la canción "May Way" y realizar tan magnifico desarrollo musical?, pero fue una sorpresa al finalizar el programa y escuchar al locutor de radio decir: "han escuchado ustedes Adagio of Spartacus and Phygia"! de Aram Khachaturiam.
Very Beautiful!!, almost unearthly, so sensitive but I also love the beautiful, so soulful Armenian woman pianist Karine Poghosyan on YT. compatriot of Khachaturian... ... pure perfection, Love, emotion Of her whole being. Lovely, so relaxed smiles, full of joy, she is also fully the music.
It was the background music for, Mayerrling (1968) [VHS]: starring Omar Sharif, Catherine Deneuve. It is also played in a portion of the movie Spartacus starring Kirk Douglas. Lovely, isn't it?
More recently, it was a dominant theme in the movie, "The Hudsucker Proxy (1994) starring Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Newman and Charles Durning, though uncredited in the film, it is listed at imdb.
I’ve just bought this heavenly masterpiece on your website, will start working on it right away....Your great performance of this is very deeply impressive. Thank you so much 🌹
Belíssima interpretação! Adorei . Estou estudando essa partitura. É simplesmente divina. Só pode ter vindo a inspiração do céu para khachaturiam. Você nos presenteou com sua interpretação. Nota 100 Matthew.
Don't forget the Coen brothers' superb film The Hudsucker Proxy, where this music features at the start and the end. That film was chiefly responsible for me now owning a Khachaturian CD. The film also features two other pieces by the same gifted composer.
i think must be great fun to play on THIS piano-sounds very very interesting.of corse, the recording is not so good-but someone can imagine how good this piano is!!!! of corse the interpredation is WONDERFULL. i feel this is played "in the name of music" thank you so much for this one !!!
Listened again. And again. This transcription and performance deserves widespread listening and appreciation. Bravo.
What a lovely and great piece from Spartacus. Played extremely well and impressive, with such a passion and emotion.
We were fortunate to meet and spend time with him in several occasions in West Berlin, Germany, 1966 thru 1973. I love all his compositions!
Thank you❤ Wonderful Music❤ Bravo❤
Wonderful transcription. So lush and orchestral. And beautifully played.

And the crowd went wild! Very well played young man.
I have been listening to this performance again and again over the last five years . It gets better and better as every time I discover a new subtle tone. This is a privilege to hear especially from the master pianist .
I love to see a man play so expressively. Beautiful. I am intrigued and deeply moved. My goodness this is wonderful.
Wonderful playing. Unapologetically romantic and expressive. Never stop playing
I listen to this so often and I want to thank you for giving us this wonderful, touching performance!
Just wonderful! Congratulations, Matthew Cameron, for such an inspired transcription of this so beautiful piece.
It is absolutely gorgeous, ineffable and may have a transcendence as only felt in communion with the divine and beautiful! Sir Matthew Cameron, great soul and pianist!
Très belle interprétation, d'autant plus que nous l'entendons habituellement avec orchestre. Bravo au pianiste!
