This is a master of his art. No need for flashy hysterical gestures....pure tone and clarity in its simplest form. Almost as if there is no effort involved.
Замечательное исполнение! Очень интересно слушать. Полное погружение в музыку и отражение сути исполняемого. Прекрасный альянс фортепиано с оркестром и взаимопроникновение - создаёт впечатление, что звучит симфоническое полотно, где фортепиано становится частью этого сложного организма. И это дарит слушателю непередаваемое наслаждение от восприятия Музыки! Да! Высочайший уровень, где два Маэстро и оркестр создают настоящее чудо! Браво!
Before you read what I'm about to say, I am a HUGE Pletnev fan. I grew up with his (and Gavrilov's) astonishing recordings. I checked in and listened to the second concerto first. What is he doing? All the notes are there - he makes them look so easy and, as anyone who plays this work knows, they are not easy to play. But where is the excitement? The drive? The musicality? It is like watching a perfectly programmed robot go through the motions and play the notes with absolutely no feeling whatsoever. Pletnev is known for his cold impassive demeanor when playing but this is off the scale
Hi I just saw that your Volodos at Fondation Louis Vuitton video got taken down - would it be possible for you to upload the video to Dropbox or so? Thanks!
