I love this performance. There's not even a hint of technical struggle, just complete freedom to experiment with tone and colour. Rare for a performance of la campanella!
What makes his playing so exceptional is the fact he strives to add musicality to each part of the music. Doing so constantly engages the listener and keeps them looking forward to whatever may come next in his interpretation. As an accomplished pianist I rarely write such reviews but this young musician has certainly caught my attention.
I love the fact that he doesn't take crazy speed. It is at a good speed but he doesn't try to show off with crazy as quick as he can speed. That make the sound, the phrases even more understandable!
This beloved (some might say overworked and undervalued) composition has finally been definitively demonstrated--right here. This will be the performance benchmark from this point forward. Thank you, beloved Daniil.
I totally forgot that this study was also a piece of music... Its nice to remind me that Daniil. It was long time since I didn't hear it played not just for showing off.
Brady Dill ok. I didn't say that. Just that yoday fast fingers are the only interpretetion. Fast, fast, fast and as fast as you can... I don't like kissin in the campanella I prefer cziffra for playing it fast and well. its more spontenious virtuosity.
Personally I prefer Trifonov because of it's clarity and transparency, it sounds brighter, more natural and much less enforced and hasty than Czriffra's in my opinion. That said Cziffra's interpretation has a very unique touch to it in particular due to the variation in termpi, making it a very intersting performance as well.
La Campanella was composed for violin by Paganin, piano concerto 2, 3rd movement, please correct me if I'm wrong. Finally it was transposed to piano by Liszt.
I've been reading many comments on every video I watch,in order to collect helpful feedback,and I totally respect each and every opinion.However I cannot seem to understand why people argue with each other.I personally believe that every perfomer puts his personality and soul into every performance,as well as physical endurance and mental concentration, and that to me is enough to respect all of them.We all have our preferences,but I do not think that showing lack of respect is honourable.
Thank you for saying this & you said it well. Some people like/love Petula Clark, others Linda Ronstadt. How can one person's preference be deemed as superior to another's is just silly. The same is true of this art form. To me, this man is nothing short of being a heroic interpreter of Liszt. His playing is captivating to my soul. That does not exclude another person's opinion & I'd like to think that this artist might wish to have us to respect anyone who can bring something of wonder & awe to that table we call performance art.
Amazing performance, My professor recommended that I listen to this rendition and I am so glad I did. Was a great help in the making of my recording of this piece. Dawid
Splendid ending, la campanella should be played like this not frenzy inaudible showoff that ruin all emotions in the piece. It means small bell remember not atomic bomb
+SELMER1947 I spoke about the thew versions that I knew, I didn't know the one you said , but gonna listen to it right now and tell you what I think about it 😌
+SELMER1947 Okay man, I think I spoke too much OMG Cziffa's version is INCREDIBLE, but in the end they are all incredible, this song is so hard to learn that I think that just the fact that you can actually play it is beautiful :') 😂
one comment said that tripoonov plays the campanella slowly,,it's known that Liszt played it slower than pianists of today to tease the audieces as ana crobat
Very musically played; especially good when rendering passages ghostly-sinister; also when refusing to take swifter passages with the too-usual Keystone Cops tempi (often hammered with whiz-bang percussiveness). Trifonov is musician as well as pianist.
This is how I always imagined Horowitz would play it (AFAIK he only played it as an encore in his early days and there’s no known recording). I surely hope Trifonov is gonna play the Waldstein and the Moonlight one day.
@@Max-yp1iw Lang Lang can't be better cause he doesn't understand the music he is playing. Every piece of music has its own meaning and interpretation.
Arthur Hau in my opinion lang pang plays la campanella the way it should be played and has the best version of it.. tell me 1 thing to criticise on langlangs version?!
Having a unique style doesn't mean you're not influenced by other pianists. The fact that he's playing piano already means that he's influenced by other pianists.
@torpedone . me too...in Milan and Novara, a true poet and a complete musician, with a surprising technycal naturalness. Compared to him a lot of other pianists look as rustic :-)
+Diego Arizoca You basically learn algorithms on how your hands play and if you already know the piece, you can memorize the piece more easily when learning it. The downside of those algorithms is, that when you get a blackout while playing, you need to start again from the beginning.
Super late reply, but maybe someone else finds an insight of a pianist interesting. La Campanella was the easiest piece I ever had to memorize. It’s basically one theme repeated again and again. So, memorising was an easy task. The technical aspect-that’s a different story. But it’s definitely not the limit in all piano repertoire.
Someone below suggested that Trifonov slows down the difficult passages, not for musicality but because he can't play them faster? That is certainly false and not even plausible. There's plenty proof that Trifonov could breakneck this. My guess is he doesn't even consider the Liszt-Paganini difficult. So he looks for the magic instead -- and finds it!
+croussant You are absolutely right on all counts. I once asked him which of the Etudes Transcendental he found most difficult. He had to think for a moment then said that though none of them was particularly difficult, when playing all 12 he had to conserve his energy a bit or he would be whacked before he got to the end! The man is clearly a genius and a nice guy as well!
What's this about conserving his energy? We heard him at Lincoln Center a year or two ago during the Rachmaninoff Festival with the NY Philharmonic. He played the Paganini Variations, took an intermission, then came back and played the second piano concerto, with energy left over for a prelude as an encore.
what pianists talk about conserving energy isn't what most people thought it to be. it's less about physical strain than over exerting oneself mentally. when the latter happens musician suffers from tightness and stiffness in the muscle and fatigue shows in their playing, this happens when they lose control of their emotion and got carried away in the process of music making, a loss of equilibrium between body and soul, that's where energy is from. as long as that equilibrium is not lost musicians can play as difficult passages as long as they want.
I have never heard this played so well, he is, quite simply, a genius!
I love this performance. There's not even a hint of technical struggle, just complete freedom to experiment with tone and colour. Rare for a performance of la campanella!

He is certainly NOT influenced by any pianist...he's got a unique style, which is rare nowadays
Я с Вами полностью согласна.Даниил удивительный ни на кого не похожий гениальный пианист и композитор.И таким был уже в детстве.
this is the best version ive ever heard
He certainly listens to himself when playing. He is in his own world. I love it!
This beloved (some might say overworked and undervalued) composition has finally been definitively demonstrated--right here. This will be the performance benchmark from this point forward. Thank you, beloved Daniil.
Blows my mind that Trifonov was only 18 years old at that performance and still plays better than most professional pianists in their 30s/40s
Ему в сентябре 2008года было 17 лет.Даниил родился 5.03.1991года.
I totally forgot that this study was also a piece of music... Its nice to remind me that Daniil.

His hand position is so unique. It's like they're hardly even touching the keys but they somehow do :P
The best La Campenella I've ever heard!
very clean and melodically beautiful playing
Apart from his talent, those hands are definitely meant to be for classical piano. So beautiful
no raucous, showmanship, sheer control, and elegance, the exact essence of his poetic make-up
Grandios . Mehr Worte braucht es nicht
Genio! Genio! Genio!jamás visto!
C'est pas compliqué : ce type est génial et on a beaucoup de chance qu'il soit notre contemporain.
Bravo!! So clear sounds..
his playing is fucking creative
why didn't I know him sooner?
delicacy of touch accounted for only by delicacy of soul
Genious!!!
Love performance
フォルテさんや
Высочайшая культура звука. Все во имя музыки, а не ради техники.
Какой же он гений, просто слов нет!
even though little slower, it's beautifully done as one can hear all the little nuances
Until now I considered György Cziffra's La Campanella the real thing. But now I am not so sure any more. This guy is simply inimitable.
Cziffra is of course the benchmark
But Treifonov is equal
Cziffra plays it like an Hungarian
Trifounov as a Russian
George li as an American
Personally I prefer Trifonov because of it's clarity and transparency, it sounds brighter, more natural and much less enforced and hasty than Czriffra's in my opinion. That said Cziffra's interpretation has a very unique touch to it in particular due to the variation in termpi, making it a very intersting performance as well.
Quelle merveilleuse musicalité !
What a wonderful musicality!
He is so special in giving this difficult piece unique musicality and an amazing interpretation. Now that is a true musician.
His touch is absolutely divine, his perfection is incredible. Another Browlosky. A real pianist. Not Ling Lang type but a musician.
Just PERFECT!
La Campanella was composed for violin by Paganin, piano concerto 2, 3rd movement, please correct me if I'm wrong. Finally it was transposed to piano by Liszt.
+Francisco Vazquez Correcto, pero es el concierto numero 2 para violin y orquesta
Tienes razon... gracias por la correccion. Saludos
Superb!!! Thank you!!
I don't see the genius everyone's talking about. One word: Kissin.
it's just such a refreshing and vibrant interpretation
kissin's is a classic though don't get me wrong
Beautiful !
Wonderful!!!
Brilliant!!
A very exceptional performance,with a unique legatto of this gracious piece
i heard his campanella live...it was incredible....

arguing is the most human thing possible, thats why people argue
its not a lack of respect, instead passion
splendido

Очень очень хорошо. Bravo!
Perfect.
Now this is music!
Es el pianista tan virtuoso como apasionsdo de este siglo...por momentos de profundo extasis....
Необыкновенно точный комментарий о Данииле.Большое спасибо.
Петербург.
Sublime
Enchanting interpretation!
Какие серебряные звуки. Даниил Трифонов браво!!!
simply awesome interpretation
It's like a little precious music box.
Trifonov já é meu predileto
Splendid ending, la campanella should be played like this not frenzy inaudible showoff that ruin all emotions in the piece. It means small bell remember
not atomic bomb
There is something with his touch and his interpretation which really mesmerized me.
Having watched him play this piece yesterday in London, I must say his interpretation is breath taking. Truly amazing and better than Lang Lang.
Lang Lang isn’t even in the top 50 for this piece.
Very Nice Well done
Never heard so much unique ideas in La Campanella from other pianists and I never heard so much errors from Trifonov Lol
As natural as nature❤❤❤❤❤
so Unique!!!!!!!
I've never heard La Campanella played quite like this... quite wonderful. Excellent rendition! ^..^~~
Best version I have ever heard, and I thought Yundi was the best so far, until I saw this
+Céline R Best version ??? Before to say that, you should listen to Cziffra's version, by far the greatest of all in Campanella...
+SELMER1947 I spoke about the thew versions that I knew, I didn't know the one you said , but gonna listen to it right now and tell you what I think about it 😌
+SELMER1947 Okay man, I think I spoke too much OMG Cziffa's version is INCREDIBLE, but in the end they are all incredible, this song is so hard to learn that I think that just the fact that you can actually play it is beautiful :') 😂
+Céline R lang lang did the most entertaining version of la campanella
Have you listned to evgeny kissin's version? By far the best imo, thos this one was ok as well
I never heard this feels good of this song. Usually I become have to listen to them .Everytime he play,I wana listen more
this piece is sooo hard!
one of the few videos where this etude is played with a lot of soul and noble emotions...
음 하나하나가 살아 움직이는...다닐!! 당신은 참으로 진실된 피아니스트입니다! 우주 최고🎉❤
I'm not usually a big fan of Trifonov, but this was nice.
greatest version
wow all that set up for the finish!! this is the most dancy la companella i ve heard.

Sublim !!!!!❤
Gentle campanella~~~
Ich verehre Trifonov, aber die mit Abstand beste Interpretation liefert Kissin.
stimme zu
Sowohl Kissin als auch Trifonov sind extrem expressiv, sogar expressiver als Grosse wie Horowitz oder Barenboim meiner Meinung nach
Excuisit ❤❤❤❤thank you 😊😊😊😊
I feel Trifinov plays a little to hunched back
Me too
Trifonov est l'un des plus grands pianiste du monde avec Lang-lang et M.Uchida
This is how I always imagined Horowitz would play it (AFAIK he only played it as an encore in his early days and there’s no known recording). I surely hope Trifonov is gonna play the Waldstein and the Moonlight one day.
there's something very lite and delicate in his playing, makes it sound like a mozart's piece
영혼을 터치하는연주...!!
Lang Lang=actor
Trifonov=musician
You can't compare them...
Yes
gabriele Iorio lang lang is for me the better player
big facts

Quelle intelligence déjà dans l'interprétation !
У него отношения с инструментом.
i love his sounds.. always not heavy but so deep core touch and ofcorce plus beautiful ..bravo .
Its true that he makes his own version, but I think he could make more contrast between some parts, anyway nice version.
누구도 따라올수 없다
@vaxx2007 but if it is played like he plays it, it is impressive nonetheless.
Does he really live on our planet?
Yes
Jes- but he gets inspired in Higher Dimensions of Music .
Constantly amazed by the creativity in his version. I dont like chopin that much before, but his interpretation is an exception.
This isn't Chopin, it's Liszt's transcription of Paganini's piece for the violin
4:14
