      My god, that Largo from the first suite. (~13:30)

        Trifonov fun fact: He lost one of his baby teeth during his orchestral debut (a Mozart Concerto).

          Wow, that Tarantelle from #2. Amazing.

            I've always though Babayan was one of the great pianists of our time - sublime performance with his student, Trifonov.

              Phenomenal performances! The Tarantelle is a little too frantic, but they pulled it off. Trifonov looks like he's possessed when he plays. Has an incredible technique. Thanks for sharing!

                Always liked Rachmaninov's Suite #1 Op.5 ever since I first listened to it probably 25 or so years ago. Will have to come back and listen to the rest later. Thanks for sharing, @jon-nyc .

                  I’ve seen Babayan a few times. There’s a big Armenian piano loving contingent here and yes Kluurs, he is phenomenal.

                      The Lisztudes were pretty impressive. He has the right level of insanity for these kinds of pieces (see above).

                        I really love that brutal cutoff at 1:06:45.

                          You're just showing off that you listened to the whole thing.

                          Education is extremely important.
