As beautiful as it's played, he was up against the Brahms' second piano concerto in that final. So, tough task...Not the same technical and artistically requirements neither the same level of profound emotional input by the composers and the interpreters.
Мне повезло его слышать в КЗЧ, он играл один из концертов Рахманинова, ему было 15 или 16 лет. Мне он тогда был незнаком, но то, как он играл просто сразило наповал. Я запомнила это имя раз и навсегда . Зал разрывало от восторга и аплодисментов. Это действительно пример, когда дар даётся человеку свыше. Огромный дар. Жаль, что он говорил гадости о России после начала сво, чтоб обосновываться заграницей , это очень гадко. Но - сам человек - отдельно, а его талант - отМне повезло его слышать в КЗЧ, он играл один из концертов Рахманинова, ему было 15 или 16 лет.

It baffles me no end WHY the West thinks so badly of Russia when history's finest symphonic composers and compositions arose from its rich tapestry of people's. Indeed, talents such as Alexander Malofeev proves such greatness. Other nations have shown such creativity but fall significantly short of Russian composers. A country's music is its soul and Russia has soul which is unparalleled!
Superlative performance! Alexander's hair is wild but his hands seem possessed!! There are a couple of times when he is looking at the conductor and not at the piano, but his fingers just keep going, totally faultlessly! Just look how he smiles and enjoys the crescendo chords of the 'romantic bit'! I have not seen/heard this fabulous composition for a long while, but I did remember how the whole piece just ends in a sudden and abrupt whimper. Half of the audience did not seem to be aware that this was going to happen though - and their rapturous applause came with a distinct reaction delay!
This is first time I heard this Paganini variation. Rachmaninoff made a symphony of it. Magnificent! And always amazing Alexander- lovely for the eyes as well as the ears.
After listening to this concert numerous times over the past five months, I have realized a few things. It is my favorite Rachmaninoff/Paganini theme interpretation by far, in large part because Alexander Malofeev is such a fantastic pianist. But I neglected to mention what a wonderful job conducting that Alain Altinoglu does! The orchestra is so terrific and their playing and interpretation is so benefited by Altinoglu. Congratulations to all who contributed to this stellar concert!
I love his talent and his hairstyle. Alexander is very talented musician, reminds of the big bopper while playing the piano. Goodness gracious great balls of fire!😂
Mister Alexander i am thankful i am able to listening to your exquisite playing and for your commitment to practicing so hard to make your talent even greater. I strongly believe that great composers and instrument players are as indispensable as great doctors and teachers. I am wishing you all the best in life and the strength and luck to be able to play piano as long as you wish for!
