i can't even start to imagine what goes through an 11 year old's mind when playing pieces like these with this kind of force, control and artistry

The music. The music goes through his mind. He is obsessed. That's not enough by itself to make him what he is. But it's part of it.

It is, yes. It's a great piece, but he put even more suspense and explosion into it than I've heard before.

[@fredsharp7419]

Remarkable that such a young individual can get such a range of sonorities from the piano. More remarkable is that his technical skills and musicianship are already at a an astonishing level.

[@jeffreymiller4814]

Chopinzee613--Salon-Style Classical Piano His beautiful playing here is way beyond “talented kid” and it’s certainly a rare thrill to hear such genuinely passionate playing from such a young player. Yes, this piece is not among the most difficult piece ever written, but the Rachmaninoff 3rd piano concerto IS, and he absolutely nails that piece with Maestro Botinis, recorded in 2018.

This makes his music even more special for us because he includes us - in an intimate lovely way. Who could resist? And isn't this what happens when we become immersed in it? We become one with the music. An exquisite experience!

What a talent!

[@classical.pianist]

This young pianist is one those phenoms that begs one to wait and see. If he is properly handled, that is to say if he is recognized as a child with a gift and not as an adult in a child's frame, his genius will go far. Having said that, there is something of an old soul manifest here. I believe this little man is gentle and kind to boot. Those qualities can render him an incomparable pianist. Clara, Ludwig, Emil, Sergei and Sviatoslov come to mind...

[@evewong3221]

[@smb123211]

For age 11, just spectacular! The fact that he felt an affinity for Rachmaninoff at an early age really influenced his career.. He has evolved into an incredible artist, a poet of the keyboard and of course it all goes back to that "Russian school" of teaching that is so different than ours in the West. He speaks English brilliantly and from all accounts is a very nice young man dedicated to his art.

[@chrisjuu18]

@@jonesnemeth9498 you're right -- there are a number of flaws, but not very many at all. Some of it is due to poor audio, too. What's more, I think there's something incredibly beautiful about a piece that feels like it'll break at any given moment. This is what Malofeev excels at doing when it comes to Rachmaninov pieces. Lugansky's rendition is amazing, don't get me wrong....but Malofeev's expression of it rivals Lugansky's in my opinion.
