Mikhail Pletnev playing Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto no. 1, op. 1, with the USSR State Symphony Orchestra under Vassily Sinaisky, live in Moscow, 7 March 1983. Михаил Плетнёв - Сергей Рахманинов - Василий Синайский
It doesn't get any better than this. Rachmaninoff repeatedly asked Horowitz to play this Concerto. This is the way it would have sounded.The Cadenza at 10:40 is superhuman.
Потрясающая трактовка, в отличии от всех исполнителей-- очень романтичная и супер эмоциональная , как и следует писать юноше,- молодому Серёже Рахманинову, а не уставшему от жизни и невзгод человеку- СергеюВасильевичу !!!Всему -- своё время !" Здесь больше полета, восторга , радости, борьбы и немного грусти , а вследующих концертах много философских воспоминаний , трагедии жизни , больше слез и дивных мелодий !!! Такого исполнения 1 концерта я еще не слышала -- гениальная передача чувств юного гения и виртуоза Рахманинова и такого же гения - интерпретатора Михаила Плетнева !!!! СЛОВ НЕТ --- ЭТО ПРОСТО ОТКРЫТИЕ В ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬСКОМ ИСКУССТВЕ !!БРАВИССИМО , МИХАИЛ ВАСИЛЬЕВИЧ !!!
NEVER seen a so great mastery of a music instrument, besides he gives impression to play almost effortless the most difficult passages. I'm astonished and delighted.
I just love that split second at 26:22 when it seems he's JUST about to have a memory lapse- or basically play the solo material from the same passage earlier on in the movement. But he reigns himself in just in time. A vintage 'Pletnev moment! What a master!
This is magnificent! No trace of the cold, over-analytical or overindulgent playing that I sometimes detect in his recordings...he clearly has a wonderful grasp on Rachmaninoff's style!
pianopera He is younger here. I think the kind of eccentric playing you describe must be a more recent phenomenon. Here everything is well-balanced, phrases beautifully shaped, and what bearing! He makes one of the best cases for this underplayed (though maybe not in Russia) but wonderful concertos I have ever heard.
James Vaughan Yes, I agree, and that is also thanks to the very sensitive accompaniment, a great ensemble, the timing is immaculate...when there is good "chemistry" between conductor and soloist, they don't even have to look at each other!
He makes an EVEN BETTER case for the Tchaikovsky 2nd Concerto. No one can touch him when he's on like that. Kissin is not even in the same league, seriously. This guy understands sound and power
Wel interessant om deze video van 1983 te beluisteren! Ik mis wel het grote scherm bij deze mooie uitvoering van dit werk dat ik nooit eerder heb gehoord!
Pletnev gives a benchmark performance of this Concerto, 2nd only to the composer.His slow movement is like hearing the music for the first time.A revealation.The conductor even lets you hear the triangle in the last movement, as it keeps the beat while the piano plays "Staccatissimo", pure magic.
ADGO hmm... can't seem to find that recording of Janis with Kondrashin on youtube, only with Reiner. Could you maybe tell me where to find that recording?
This is the piece from MP that returned me to classical music although the actual recording on my CD is with Libor Pesek and Philharmonia Orchestra 1992
As Raxmaninoff himself said: if my concertos were parked next to each other in my garage in California in the order they were composed, they would be 2 Ford T models on either side of two Rolls Royces...
@@etcetc5592 i think Rax was saying not about the chronological order, but about the quality... i.e. that the Rax 3 and Rax 2 were a lot better than Rax 1 and Rax 4. Unless Rax was mad and somehow thought 1 and 4 (which he made revisions to) were better...
Are you kidding? He nailed it! And I mean not only playing fast and loud, he really brings out the passionate and desperate side of the work. And his sound quality is magnificent.
@@user-le8bg9dn9l правильно писать рахмаНИНОВ ская поптому что фамилия рахмаНИНОВ а не рахманин)))))) каденция композитора все ок))) исполнение ублюдошное каденции потому что плетнев показывает в ней полное отсутствие Рахманинова и тупо играет Плетнева это абслютно не Сергей Васильевич
@@worot5 Спасибо за замечание, снебрежничала. Я тоже сразу поняла, что это не Рахманинов, но не думала, что у Плетнёва могут быть такие неудачи. Обычно мне нравятся его "предложения".
@@worot5 Я слушала его интерпретацию, да, она впечатляет. Послушайте Natan Brand интерпретацию Крейслерианы. Нечто совсем особенно прекрасное, я сегодня его услышала первый раз
