Bonjour Eva , merci de cette vidéo ! Hier soir j’étais salle Gaveau à Paris pour écoute, voir , m’imprégner de la musique offerte par Mr Alexandre Maloveef, et c’était... fabuleux, sa recherche permanente de la nuance la meilleure est une régal. J’ai suivi ses doigts presque toute la soirée et il leur fait faire ce qu’il faut pour que nous , public , soyons entouré et noyé par et dans le son . Il a d’ailleurs un petit geste avec sa main gauche qu’il fait depuis toujours comme pour aider le son à suivre une trajectoire , magique. Il doit ressentir beaucoup de pression en ce moment et je crois l’avoir ressenti dans son interprétation de Medtner qui m’à littéralement étouffé ! Cette sensation de ne plus pouvoir bouger ou respirer ! Je pense qu’avec Rachmaninov il s’est libéré, quelles envolées , quelle fougue, tout y était ! Même s’il est jeunec, je me demande où il va puiser toute cette énergie pour rendre le public aussi attentif que fou lors des applaudissements. Alexandre Maloveef est d’une grande générosité. J’espère que j’aurai d’autres opportunités de l’écouter.

@@brunoguitteny5862 Hello Bruno, thank you so much for sharing your views to me. I heard some sound recordings of his Amsterdam recital which was just 2 days ahead of his Paris recital. I’m also surprised by his Medtner. It’s more intense and more dramatic compared to before. The colors and the depth are more richer and deeper. I’m amazed by his development. Related to the suffocating feelings, I had the same feelings when I heard his recent Rach 3 cadenza. It’s also a kind of feeling that you can’t move and hard to breathe. His live concert is really such an unbelievable & unique spiritual experience.

Heard many many pianists in my life, but Alexander is absulutely unique! He moves me to tears. 😢 He must have a connection to heaven.

[@gideonpark8621]

He plays like a one man orchestra - that’s the best way I can describe his playing.

[@pghagen]

What an extremely talent this young man is! Can't stop listening to him.🎹🙏

[@kaymohr5646]

Before hearing what Alexander just said about his intimate feel with the piano and bonding his music with his audience, he has come across to me in that deeply intimate relationship that he has spoken of, and when I hear him play certain excerpts from Rachmaninov, my heart swells and my tears flow, knowing I am experiencing that wonder which is flowing from Alexander's finger tips. It seems to matter not which media he is using, that magic touch is still there. I love that young man for what God is doing in him and through him. Kay Mohr

What can be said of Malofeev's performances? The luminous transparency of the music, the power of pure expression without sentimentality or personal imposition, the exaltation of the music even beyond the instrument itself. It's exhilarating and almost miraculous.

Listening you playing feels like uplifting to the beautiful place on earth.

[@annedunford7638]

I wonder if Sasha is thinking about pieces for the 2023 Tchaikovsky? This Sonata by Rachmaninoff is so beautiful the way he plays it! I also love how he interprets Schubert. His Medtner’s Forgotten Melodies is unsurpassed in its sensitivity! And he gave us Mozart’s 20th Piano Concerto with all the depth of feeling I’ve ever heard it played❤️

A great artist that often makes one feel like they are hearing the music for the first time. especially Medtner.

[@richardsawyer9711]

Another fascinating look into the development of a young pianist with great talent and a promising future. His comments on why he likes to perform pieces for solo piano, rather than with orchestras doing major concertos, got me thinking about my own responses to this program contrasted with my reaction to his performances with orchestra in the concertos that have been available on KZbin. The latter have been familiar to me for many years (85 or more) while most of what is in this program is my initial hearing, and I have a more subdued emotional response. Thank you, Eve, for this look into Sasha's artistic personality and the music he produces that illustrates it!

[@majorjessecarnes5303]

Sasha, like the main protagonist in one of my short stories, plays with intense passion (heart) and also with determined focus & accuracy. It's what I call, as a pianist myself, "Walking the Tight-Rope." Sasha has an incredible BALANCE of these 2 main ingredients, which delivers superlative renditions of the pieces he performs. "Walking the TightRope" . . . or in Russkie, "Хождение по музыкальному канату» дает лучшее, что пианист может донести до своей аудитории."

[@MrInterestingthings]

The first time i realize the difference btw Rach and Medtner. Medtner isnt trying to be huge,bigger than life he is natural and direct. I never cared for his many Sonatas now i see better how to approach him. These things can take decades!
