Alexander is a superstar in the world of pianist, and his energy is pervasive and creative.

[@irishamusic5509]

Какой светлый, талантливый чудесный молодой человек! Как хорошо, что в мире есть такие люди!

[@АндрейЗенков-с7ч]

Есть у меня на KZbin папка "Навсегда", в ней я собираю все то, что тронуло меня до глубины души....Этот гениальный молодой человек рядом с Юлией Фишер, Максимом Венгеровым, David Gilmour...и многими, многими другими... Впервые услышал в его исполнении концерт №2 Сергея Рахманинова...Это был Апокалипсис в моей голове, я просто оцепенел от такой подачи музыки, такого понимания глубины сказанного композитором...Александр безусловно один из самых одаренных пианистов, которых рождали Небеса! Бесподобен и прекрасен, как та музыка, которую он нам дарит! Храни вас Господь!!!

[@DrSvetlova]

Прекрасный музыкант, как я люблю Ваше творчество. Будьте здоровы и счастливы, Вы Гений, но при этом такой милый и обаятельный.

[@galinamelnikova9855]

Симпатичный, скромный, талантливый человек! Всегда приятно его слушать, слышать его исполнение и даже просто смотреть на него за роялем! Успехов, Вам, Александр !

[@boriskhalizov2131]

Он только коснулся клавиш, и я не смог удержать слёз... Никогда раньше, когда я слушал других исполнителей, такого не было.

[@lyncrawford2109]

Wonderful young gentleman . I am so glad I’ve had the privilege of being able to hear him play. I hope to be able to listen to him play live one day. His hands speak for him! Xxxx

[@mike6324]

I see and listen him today for the first time and honestly he has got the most beautiful hands I've ever seen.

[@evewong3221]

Congratulations! You’ve discovered a treasure!😁 His hands are beautiful. The way he plays piano is much more beautiful. Listening and watching his performance is a kind of joy.

[@philipsmith3084]

Beautiful playing Alexander! Thank you Eve.

[@НатальяГлебова-й8й]

Спасибо . светлого пути...!

[@evewong3221]

Thanks @alex Simpson for translations. 👏👏👏 I just copy his words on below. “questions are very simple, from nice , simple folks from Arkhangelsk. Alexander gives nevertheless mature professional answers. Questions were about how he deals with nervousness, emotional condition before and during the concert, the answer was that condition is natural, but he has enough time to prepare during rehearsals, which includes space , concert piano , etc. the question about his most important, in terms of impact winning of prize on competition, I am not sure but I think he answered the prize he won when he was 11 years old , he had opportunity to meet remarkable musicians and whole thing did boost his confidence and encourage his professional persuasion. One question was also about his habits and if they are similar to his generation, which is busy with tick tok. He just simply said that he isn’t on tick tok , but is posting his musical performances on line and his generation also has access to it. My impression of him as a person is that he is very intelligent, knows exactly what he is talking about , the same time he keeps his auteurs attitude very humble , no arrogance whatsoever. All signs of super sophisticated human being.”

HE IS PERFECT, THAT'S ALL PLEASE, INTERVIEWS... TRANSLATIONS TO SPANISH AND ENGLISH....WE LOVE HIM.. HE PLAYS THE PIANO... ¡¡MARAVILLOSAMENTE!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💟❤

[@christopherdew2355]

Many thanks for this paraphrase! So many of us are following this lovely young musician's every move and are very appreciative of your assistance. Wish I could speak Russian.....and French and German and Italian!!!!

[@peterkouwenhoven149]

Thank you for this narrative. It sheds some light on the life of Alexander. I speak two languages fluently and dabble in another two, sadly Russian is not one of them…

[@lobovalarisa4010]

Теперь я мечтаю попасть на Ваш концерт. Буду искать пути...Спасибо, что Вы есть. Слушаю с восхищением, и мой сын - тоже.

[@cliveroberts2875]

Whether you understand the language or not you can see how lovely he is and natural in the way he articulates himself. He is a wonderful person in every aspect of life and his playing speaks volumes! God made a superb person in Alexander and if one knew him personally you would be proud to have him as a true friend. ❤️🙏

[@evewong3221]

Totally agree ❤️

[@cliveroberts2875]

Thank you and it makes me happy ur such a supportive fan of him too.

[@SteveFarmerMusic]

I can only wish I knew him personally! To sit and have a nice meal with him, and good deep conversation, would be like heaven :) I completely appreciate his amazing talent (!!!!), but I know there's much more to "who he is", as a person, as well. He's beautiful!

[@cliveroberts2875]

I agree that to be in his company would be a wonderful evening indeed not only musically but personally too. To know him and have him as a real friend one would be so lucky in life. He’s just the personification of a lovely kind person.

[@danielfavre7741]

e daniel: Clive Roberts,for all I know about Alex,I agree with you.My dream is to meet him some day.I hope so.It would be marvellous to have him as a friend.

[@michaelearendil6843]

Alas, I do not speak Russian. But it warms my heart to see this fine, immensely talented young man. His voice is sweet, thoughtful, and peaceful. His playing is sensitive and movingly beautiful. He is a rare soul, and it is a pleasure to see and hear him in this interview.

[@evewong3221]

Very well said. I don’t know Russian either,but I love to hear him saying. His voice is quite gentle & comfortable. Indeed a rare soul.

[@hmspain52]

Given his ability to learn complex music, I could see him learning english in an afternoon!

[@hmspain52]

I watched another video where he is speaking very acceptable english! Is there anything this guy can't do?

[@sacredkinetics.lns.8352]

Great and talented gentleman. God bless 💫👽💫

[@xilefregnu9542]

I don't need to understand his language, although it would of been nice, to see he is eloquent, intelligent an wonderfully friendly in answering the questions put to him. He looks spectacular in red!!!!!

[@chucklambooy8457]

He is beyond fabulous and I wish he was able to tour the US

[@foralltime7940]

Alexander will be in the US in July. Go to his webpage ( alexander-malofeev.com ) and click on concerts, then announcements. He'll be in NY, IL, and CA, all solo concerts as far as I know.

[@СветланаИванова-з5е]

Все красиво в замечательном и талантливом человеке красив душой и телом. И гениальное исполнение!!!

[@evewong3221]

A beautiful soul & body ❤️

[@ЛюдмилаЛагута-ы1к]

Какая грамотная речь! Никаких "шаблонных" выражений! Высокий уровень культуры и интеллекта! Саша,как всегда,восхищает!)

[@evewong3221]

I have to learn some Russian😩

[@Bouncybon]

Alexander has become quite tall. No longer a boy, he is now a young man.

[@alanarnott1286]

I’ve only been following this young man for a few months now (a COVID discovery). A phenomenal talent and by all accounts a humble and likeable person with a passion for his art. It looks like he’s currently suffering from a typical teenage skin breakout, a little bit of imperfection (for a short time at least) that makes him all the more ‘normal’. I look forward to seeing a lot more from this exceptional young man. A belated happy birthday wish to you Alexander.

[@holymoses5590]

@Emmanuel Avila Pianist Some of us are hoping he stays away from competitions from here on out. There is nothing he needs to prove to anyone now. He's already accomplished more than any other at this age. He's known worldwide as we speak. He only needs to be seen more and now that Covid is lessening, hopefully he'll have many concerts this year and next and forever!

[@Orfik7]

Прекрасно говорит Александр. Молодец! Не только талантливый очень в музыкальном плане, но ещё и умница!

[@evewong3221]

He’s intelligent. I wish I could know what he said.

[@capacityplus]

Beautiful performance as always.

[@SteveFarmerMusic]

He's beautiful! Life isn't about music. Rather, music is about life! I would kiss each one of his fingers if I could!! Did I mention that he's beautiful?!!

[@lukeschofield574]

Okay chill out

@@SteveFarmerMusic I just found so many “got it bad” members liked this comment 😂

[@SteveFarmerMusic]

@@evewong3221 well YAY, eve wong!! 😁 I like knowing that. Maybe it means I'm not so weird haha. As a musician myself (and a piano player. Well... I try anyway 😝), I naturally love his incredible talent. And I also know that the talent alone isn't the "main thing"... it's just the vehicle that expresses the object of that talent... it's emotions.. right from Alexander's heart, WHO he is inside, and that can't be put into mere words! 😊 And THEN, add on top of all that how beautiful he is(!!), and my heart just starts fluttering haha ❤ Like I said, I'd kiss every one of his fingers! If only I really knew him in life!! 😆😍😘 AND if he would let me! 😁 But... at least we all get to watch and listen to Alexander in all his videos! 😀 You made my day with that comment! Thank you for that! And I hope you're having a great day! 🤗

[@evewong3221]

@@SteveFarmerMusic We all love and admire him,though I wouldn’t kiss his fingers 🤣🤣 His beauty is from his heart & soul. He is the music itself. And the music expresses his deep thoughts and soul. How I love that! I feel like every piece is touching my soul. There is not any other musician can do that.

[@UPSIDEDOWNRAMBLING]

Thanks Eve! Yes, anyone willing to tell us a bit about the interview, would be great!

I think in the last year during lockdown he managed to grow a lot! Tall, blond and handsome...so some are saying. =)

[@robertflynn6686]

After our discussing 'Medtner and Malofeev' I really appreciate this video Eve Wong so thanks. If I decifer any of it ill let it be known. Bye robert. Ps. I think its about his life highlites.. he's trying to come out more, possibly. Maybe we could find out who interviewers are..

[@evewong3221]

His mind is very calm,frank & open. I follow him on insta so I can see how he faced some critics. In the Magazine "Musical life" interview 2018 (close to age 17),he said, “To listen to advice and even criticism, to perceive it as an opportunity to look at the process from a different angle - for me this is an integral part of development.” He speaks his mind. That’s why I admire & respect him a lot. p.s. The interviewers are TV host.

[@robertflynn6686]

@@evewong3221 you know a lot eve.. very 😎 cool to know.

[@sibylleacatos]

Could someone translate. That would be wonderful thank you ! Love him followed him since he was a little boy!!👏👏( just realized...1st time I see him wearing red!!!)

[@evewong3221]

I’ve seen him in pink once. In red is indeed the first time. He’s really wonderful in this bright red.

[@therightmusic7639]

To be honest I didn't understand anything, except the wonderful music at the end (unfortunately, the video doesn't provide caption and I don't speak Russian). However, your facial expressions and body language clearly reflect a young, humble, friendly and sincere man, (👍)

[@evewong3221]

There are some translations in the top comment which can help you understand what he said. It’s an interview of local festival,so surely there is only local language. But even don’t understand anything,we can still feel the beauty of this amazing young man. ☺️

[@sandrabasso9390]

Ho potuto solo guardarlo contemplando la sua grazia nel sentirlo suonare😍....ma purtroppo non ho capito una sola parola di quello che ha detto. Non c’è possibilità di sentire la traduzione in italiano o anche francese...😩

Hello Carl! Subtitles are done here kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2m4oZ6hh5WmY8U

[@grebnoche]

Thanks Eve. How do you find all those excerpts. The whole The seasons were performed at the Marinsky festival in early 2020. That would be great if you can find and put on your channel. And Sacha in red and not in black :-)

[@evewong3221]

This one is not found by me. I just keep an eye in everywhere.😄 The whole seasons are on Sasha’s own channel. Do you mean this one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZPLdZhmpMaNl7s But the one here should be Medtner Fairy Tales op.48 No.2,it’s the same piece as here. I have thought it from seasons initially though... kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJDUgKRubdmCjZo He’s really good in red😍

[@grebnoche]

Yes, Eve. I meant that one for the whole The Seasons. And I believe Sacha gad only Medtner beautiful Forgotten memories, actually where you can see him play it. The audience leaves him alone withe the melody before it begins to applaud. The music and the interpretation are profoundly touching.

[@evewong3221]

@@grebnoche Yes,that’s a poetic & thoughtful interpretation. I have them all in my collage. Just so wonderful to hear them together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q36whJaslN-Fbdk p.s. I forgot to mention this is a little show before formal performance. He’s still in black in formal as usual.

[@holymoses5590]

So, I think I have a new goal for my life...to take up the Russian language so I can understand Alexander in his local interviews! (maybe Utube has a class) lol =)

[@evewong3221]

It’s my target too🤗
