Rachmaninoff was all of 19 years of age when he composed this haunting, beautiful trio.
Msotil - this is Tchaikovsky trio
@@rushana1956 Thank you very much for the correction.
@@msotil :) I mean he borrows a lot
You're joking! 19 years old. I am glad I gave up my career in music. 19!!!
I thought he was 18
This single recording changed my opinion about Lang Lang as an artist. Gorgeous--touching--deeper than describable--something past drawn to the moment in a sound. Music to cry to, both for its beauty and sadness.
Lang Lang 🤩🤩🤩
What opinion did you have on Lang Lang earlier?
As a person who has played this trio I recommend you listening to other executions. Lang Lang's version imo is a bit too piano-centered and sounds more like a piano with accompanying violin and cello whilst (again imo) they should be more equal overall. Try Borodin's trio version for example, they aren't perfect but capture the spirit a bit better
Since we didnt see Lang-lang acrobatic playing here, the bias is lost
Rach knew my heart better than anyone...❤

This also features the little motif at 8:07 that Tchaikovsky uses in his Nocturne for Cello and Piano... A beautiful homage from one artist to the other.
Love the quote of Tchaik 1 piano writing at 4:43
In fact, the theme from the beginning is the beginning of Tchaikovsky's 1st piano concerto but reversed.
This beautiful piece was written in memory of Tchaikovsky. Rachmaninoff was deeply touched by his death. And I guess Rachmaninoff was inspired by his great teacher.
@@user-ub7lh5zh7g You're confusing with the second trio, composed just after the death of Tchaikovsky. The first trio is just a hommage to his teacher.
@@clement103 my bad! This is D moll i am talking about.
this piece is so incredibly beautiful and haunting... it's a beautiful example of the passion evident in all of Rachmaninov's work.... I aspire to compose like this some day...
To think that for the remainder of his career he only composed one other chamber piece after the two elegiac trios--the cello sonata, which is so great. Wish he had done more.
he composed i believe 5-6 more chamber works. You should check them on wikipedia
Went to see this Trio last night. Wonderful piece, always great to see Rachmaninoff's music.
Never heard this version before. Love it! Thanks!
Great performance,wonderful piece!
This piece is all more the reason for me to become a concert pianist
I can't believe he composed it in 3 days
@@JennaLynnNagy This is true of another trio - d-moll op.9, but this trio g-moll was written 18.01.1892 - 21.01.1892
@@JennaLynnNagy The trio you're referring to is his Trio élégiaque no. 2; that is the trio he began composing after hearing of Tchaikovsky's death in 1893 (you can just tell by its mournful beginning). This trio is only inspired by Tchaikovsky's own Trio in A minor op. 50, that's why some passages are so reminiscent of each other.
This is the best classical piece I've heard in my taste (Beaux Arts Trio performance specifically), if anyone's got anything similar to recommend I'm thankful
So heavy, it just gets heavier until on the verge of tears! So beautiful😭
Thanks for putting in the work on this, I know it takes a lot of time. I was just looking for a recording to share with my class, but this is even better!
This is so beautiful I cried
+fensmarkfarm That happened to me the first time i listened to it.
Same
Лучшее исполнение из ранее услышанного этого произведения.Благодарю.
Великое наслаждение!
да)? какое счастье, что я сразу попала на это исполнение))....это правда - гениально...!!!
Minunat! Felicitari!
Sounds fantastic.
This is music make for a god.
Thanks Rachmaninoff for this marvelous piece and all the pieces that you wrote to the world...
A tremendously beautiful piece, played with consummate skill. Thank you so much for posting this!
The holiness of music in the very first few piano chords
This is heartbraking.
*breaking
This is hart braking.
Perfection.
beautiful musique!
The great Rachmaninov wrote this in memory of his great friend Tchaikovsky....amazing composition.
Not this trio, but the second one.
In memory of Tchaikovsky he wrote trio #2,not this one.
This is top level composing
for me this trio is top level ideas, but not the peak of Rachmaninov's form, if you know what I mean. I love this piece, but top level composing is consisting both from top level ideas and form and many other aspects - which Rachmaninov sure achieved, I just don't feel it all is present here.
Eh it's mostly copied, but a good start to where he was eventually going in his compositional output
Maestro Prodigy This was in fact, written in memory of Tchaikovsky.
@@geuros he composed it when he was 19, he had still a lot to learn !
Hay! Giai điệu thật ấn tượng!
How have I never heard this before?!
Don't sweat it! I'm 84 and just heard it for the first time about a year ago; I'm just discovering so many chamber works - guess I was concentrating on Beethoven, Brahms & Mozart. So much music - so little time left!
Lang Lang actually interpreted this piece decent.
How is it even possible?
Ling Ling would of course interpret it better.
Ikr I was actually surprised when I found out he played in this hahah
eh- i think trio borodin and the beaux arts trio play this better
Everybody loves to disparage Lang Lang. I did for years. Just on the visual basis of his performance. Not fair.
and who said classical music was boring??
ignorants
You just did.
Well, plebs, chavs and the uneducated normally, isn’t it.
Increíble
Wonderful
Bien ejecutado!
Rach and Roll baby! Rach. And. Roll.
Высочайшее мастерство
The beginning instantly reminded me of Tchaikovsky´s piano Trio...or is it just me...? Beautiful trio.
He wrote his in memory of Tchaikovsky, since Tchaikovsky was an important figure in Rachmaninoff’s early musical life- and he was devastated to find out that the composer he had admired just died.
@@vikli5966 You're confusing it with trio no. 2 as mentioned in other comments. The first trio élégiaque was an hommage to his teacher, apparently.

Thanks. BTW seems Hungarian has interesting names for musical instruments.
Πανέμορφο
Yay a violin piece from rach
Ten utwór jest w pierwszej 10 mojej listy "najsmutniejszych utworów muzycznych świata"...
🔥🔥🔥RACHMANINOFF🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Superb interpretation.
+++!!
Precioso
What can even follow up such an amazing piece of music?
How about the second Trio Élégiac? :P
8:45 11:30 favorite cello part 10:50 favorite violin part
Those people who downvoted clearly have no heart at all.
Love the part from 8:21-8:40
😻😻😻
This piece is haunting me.
Lang Lang leaves out the final portion of the arpeggio at 8:41
This remind me tchaikovsky op.50
Begining reminds me of - Formidable by Stromae
Arabian Nights from Aladdin
As great as this is, does the bowing in the strings parts sound a bit off?
🥰❤️❤️❤️
I actually like Lang Lang... BTW - I made a score-video too. :)
Just suberb...
Lou Reed
Davit Pivazyan TRIO FOR PIANO, VIOLIN AND CELLO op.33
Love this piece!! But I feel that the pianist is too rubato while the string players are write on so it always feels a little off-kilter, which I feel is inappropriate for this work. I don't like the recording, but I love the piece and I love Rachmaninoff!
+Rhett Jaramillo its lang lang, what do you expect
+Benjamin Meit Oh Yeah. Well Lang Lang drives me insane. This is a trio, not the Lang Lang piano solo show. Learn how to play in an ensemble, is my advice for him. He infuriates me. Definitely my least favorite pianist.
Exactly my thoughts...
and mine
How tf do you play measure 17?
It's a copy of the beginning of the first movement in opus 5, the Fantasie-Tableaux.
Bizarrement, Lang Lang passe bien mieux avec du Rachmaninov. A mon avis, il a un jeu beaucoup trop agressif pour Chopin et Liszt.
this music is the epitome of russian gloomy music that's represented by rachmaninoff
Melancholic, yes. But I see this music not as gloomy but as passionate.
8:44
Quit that fancy music making. Quit it. It makes you more popular then me.
no one notice that this is sounds exactly like tchaikovsky trio in a minor. 100%
I just heard the Tchaikovsky on the radio yesterday and thought the same thing (am working on this trio so it's in my head all the time!)
This trio has to have been heavily influenced by the Tchaikovsky trio. The Tchaikovsky was written in memoriam of Nikolai Rubinstein years before. Rachmaninoff was a student at the Moscow Conservatory, where Tchaikovsky was a major figure.
He wrote this in memory of Tchaikovksy
@@vikli5966 Not this trio, but the second one.
Queeen q oh, sorry for the mistake. I thought this would be it due to the similarities haha
this is real music not what they do nowadays... I was born in the wrong generation!
Ew Lang Lang
And what if there is a composer currently living that writes like this now? He is I.
I really don't like Lang Lang playing. this it's loud all the time
Reminds me of Tchaikovsky"s trio in A Minor op.50 and just as badly written. There's something about this type of russian writing that just doesn't work. I think they really need the full orchestra to express all the colors they want.
+Kratos safado Then again, Rachmaninoff was 19 years old when he wrote this..Maybe not that young but still, not mature enough to play with colors either.
Mr.SergeiRachmaninoff Yeah, but I don't think he ever did. Just IMO though. Great composer when it comes to harmony and melody, but his music is just that. Beautiful sounds, completely disconnected from each other, no form, no good development, just ultra expressive music. But his great "crime" as an artist was having nothing to say. His music is beautiful, but that's just it, beautiful sounds that in the end amount to nothing
All IMHO
Kratos safado Enjoying the music is the only important thing there is. It either awakens your emotions or not. If his sounds are beautiful, why go through theory and search for flaws in the ,,system" of his beautiful music? I think he managed to say more than enough since people cry hearing those singing melodies. I understand that's your opinion, but it's a bit cocky to say that ,,his music is JUST THAT". Just what? Is it not enough that his gift for melody was so great that almost every composition gets stuck in your head and makes you want to sing it every minute of the day? Every composer is good at something, and nobody said that a successful composition should have all of its elements emphasized and fully drained. If the harmony and melody are simple, then do something interesting with the rhythm and so on. Most of the modern classical compositions are theoretically ,,perfect", especially those by composers who endeavor to write atonal music. They usually think they know everything and shamelessly state that they overcame the aesthetics of the traditional, tonal music. Most of them write music as if it was a mathematical problem, they use a thousand compositional techniques in order to create as much diversity as possible, in all of the composition's elements, they put all their knowledge and zero emotion. What do THEY have to say in their music? Prove to us that they know a thousand ways to vary a motive? These discussions should end at the point where one says ,,it's beautiful", which you did, and there should be no ,,BUT.....". As for Rach's development skills, listen to his piano etude op. 33 no.4. The whole piece sounds pretty diverse, but it is made of just two motives, always rhythmically/melodically recognizable, and the polyphony simply kills. Unlike Chopin who almost always places the melody in the right hand (the highest voice), Rachmaninoff moves his melodies to whichever of the many voices and still manages to emphasize it.
Mr.SergeiRachmaninoff Pal, I get what you're saying, but you're... reaching. I mean, does it just need to be beautiful and THAT'S ALL? All there is to art is beauty, beauty and beauty? Sorry to break it to you, but Debussy's harmony, Beethoven's orchestration, Alkan's somber sonority were NOT considered beautiful at first, yet today there they are. Beauty is one of many art's aspects. Hell watch "Cannibal Holocaust" from 1983 and tell me if you found any beauty in such a sickening freakshow, yet it is true cinema art. Go read "Crime and Punishment" and tell me if there's a whole lot of beauty in that. Again, we're talking about a masterpiece of Literature.
I wasn't making any statements about art itself nor music, I was talking about the composer. He is regarded as one of the greatest ever, and I've always felt that modern ignorance did that, not the beauty of his music. He puts a lot, a lot and a lot of notes in his pieces and he knows no economy; his symphonies are regarded as good, yet they are never played in public (really, even Bruckner is being played more often these days than his half-ass symphonies); he is commended as a great harmonist, but I feel it's just basic harmony with a shitload of notes, making it appears to be better than it actually is.
Don't mind me, as a composer (and a tonal one), Rachmaninoff has become my pet peeve. There are a lot of things I envy and admire about his music, but in the end I put Rach's work in a nutshell like this: A fuckload of notes, one or two expressive melodic lines, a lot of tonal noise that makes no sense at all, but with a perfect cadence in the end with a pure minor triad to make everybody clap.
Again, IMHO. Peace.
+Kratos safado I haven't listened to this piece for a couple of decades, since long before youtube. I've just thought now may be the time to check it out, and LO! I still have a similar feeling about it as you've said: lots of beautiful notes that somehow rings empty, don't move me. And I usually like Rachmaninoff. Except his symphonies and this and still a few others of his. I have to agree with most of what you've said.
