In 1893, Rachmaninoff returned to Moscow, where Tchaikovsky agreed to conduct The Rock for an upcoming European tour. During his subsequent trip to Kiev to conduct performances of Aleko, he learned of Tchaikovsky's death from cholera. The news left Rachmaninoff stunned; later that day, he started work on his Trio élégiaque No. 2 for piano, violin and cello as a tribute, which he completed within a month. The music's aura of gloom reveals the depth and sincerity of Rachmaninoff's grief for his idol. The piece debuted at the first concert devoted to Rachmaninoff's compositions on 31 January 1894.
Not only had he lost a dear friend, whom was with him since his early days in which he was still a student; but, also, a composer whom Rachmaninoff revered to. With this combined, the large degree of impact to which Tchaikovsky had on Rachmaninov’s life, is unmistakable.
Вы абсолютно правы. Большое Вам спасибо за такой полезный комментарий. Да, Рахманинов был и по сей день остаётся настоящим гением своего времени ❤️❤️❤️
@@davecsullivanjr Yeah. I would be one of those. As much as I can recognize the skill, the brilliance, the scope, Rach's music never spoke to me. *At all.* I think it's mostly about my lack of feeling for the Russian aesthetic in general. Too much angst perhaps.
@@jacklindahlperhaps your fixation on the angst of the aesthetic is what holds you back from enjoying Russian music. Rach’s prelude in G major depicts transcendental beauty, his second piano concerto is all about his joyous victory over a dark period in his life, and his Italian Polka is just a lot of fun. Sometimes the most beautiful parts of music are made more beautiful by the dark brooding and anger that comes beforehand.
I wasn't crazy about the very beginning, but the more I listened the more incredible things got. Rachmaninoff is just fantastic and isn't afraid of a beautiful melody
Nothing I say can add to the transcendent beauty of this work. You can barely listen to this without tears coming to your eyes. The only thing better than this recording would have been to be sitting in the hall where it was performed. Thank you for posting.
Начальная фраза этого трио практически совпадает с основной темой романса Рахманинова "О нет, молю, не уходи!" (Oh no, I beg you, do not abandon me! ") И в той же тональности d-moll.
I would put this in the top ten piano trios. A great piece to convert fans of solo instrumental works and large scale works to meet together here in this magical and moving chamber work. Thank you for posting this. Beautiful playing by this trio!
Glad to hear this trio again, now with the score. I found this interpretation and it was my favourite. Converted the video to Mp3 and been listening like a madman to this. Then one day the video was gone. Thank you so much for posting this
It seemed to be one piece. But there are literally hundreds of parts that can be used as the theme song to any movie. I associated a lot of parts with space epics (like "Battlestar Galactica"). Russians and their composers are simply spectacular!
Excelsa y extrema pieza a trío de uno de los grandes compositores de Música Clásica, toda una aventura sonora. Enorme carga de sensaciones, un tobogan para los sentidos.
Thank you for this. At 18:50 is D minor not D Major at piano but the violin melody is ok. Other strange time interpretations (38:40) (40:00)...! Strange partiture effect! But the pleasure is great! A juvenile composition however full of musical meanings ... ah ... Rachmaninov ... !!
I cringe at your phrase "juvenile composition". It demeans a great work. Among the aspects of this piece that I enjoy are that it is: 1) heartfelt and emotionally engaged; and 2) accessible: you don't have to be a musicologist to figure out what's going on. The greatness of the work shouldn't be judged by the age of its creator or how many gymnastic tricks it takes to play.
The first movement presents some bewitching structural transformations and a variety of rich textures, but man is this thing shouty and pretending to cause more emotion than it actually does. Two of the worst tendencies of Romanticism as they are: a tendency to greater and greater emotional solicitation and a mania for grander, longer works. But if you can stand that, this music is rewarding enough and beautiful on its own right.

26:10 "Somewhere, over the rainbow..."
Yes..right..
This whole piece is amazing, but that first movement is absolute god-tier....
@Alberto and 12'30.
Agree and agree. And also...6:00 for me. So yummy. Noise cancelling headphones...anyplace, anytime...tranquility.
I found it boring. He’s just repeating ostinatos endlessly.
@disinformationworld9378 says someone with no musical taste
@@disinformationworld9378He repeated that deliberately.
8:04 this passage of tonic to thirds is absolutely gorgeous

Really copy pasted this from Wikipedia, wild
How can you not love Rachmaninov!!!
They're out there. Crazy.

It is the greatest opening to any chamber music ever heard
I wasn't crazy about the very beginning, but the more I listened the more incredible things got. Rachmaninoff is just fantastic and isn't afraid of a beautiful melody
For me is 49:10 the absolute best part because its captures the grievance of a beloved one so perfect and on point. Its absolutely stunning.
9:58 this just strikes directly into the heart, such an incredibly strong emotion
Hollywood.
The variation starting at 29:38 is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard
8:00 is spectacular!

from 9:40 to 10:27 this building climax has my whole heart

I don't remember when was the last time I didn't heard such a beautiful piece. damn
4:15 (especially from 4:40) it's gorgeous!!!
50:12 Although not written, the 8va bass enhances the mood.
5:57 is just beautiful.
So powerful...
7:51❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Best interpretation!
goodness me, that first movement… ethereal.
Pure perfection
My heart started beating fast after 11:25
8:00
My goodness

11:20 - piano sounds like the beginning piano flourishes during Liszt's Totentanz, maybe Sergei heard it used it to conjure the same images of death !
definitely a Totentanz quote
11/10
Элегическое трио «Памяти великого художника»-появилось под впечатлением смерти П.И.Чайковского.
my favorite part 8:05 so sad.
Best 4:17 and 17:17
How is it possible to create such music....
bravo!
8:05 Rachmaninoff was obviously inspired by Hans Zimmer...
Qué maravilla chingao...
Sounds like there was an edit at 37:24. But hey, who cares, this is amazing either way ;)
Thank you for this. At 18:50 is D minor not D Major at piano but the violin melody is ok. Other strange time interpretations (38:40) (40:00)...! Strange partiture effect! But the pleasure is great! A juvenile composition however full of musical meanings ... ah ... Rachmaninov ... !!
Maybe different edition. Rachmaninoff used to make cuts to his works although he didn't always want to.

12:28 Prelude op. 3 no. 2 ?
Very close it's the same sounds but prelude op. 3 no. 2 is written a half step down
18:56
11:21-11:28-Liszt, Totentanz quotation?
🤨😐
Dies irae
Yeah, I've noticed it too
5:00

Самая глубокая и жуткая вещь, которую я слышал
Amazing! I can hear Tchaikovsky's influence quite strong in this. Such a sincere composition 💙
