[@rolfpianist3829]

A MIRACLE, not just technically, his endless unique tonal palette, but emotionally: no pianist in history has ever played with such SENSITIVITY. Pletnev is second to no one. Unsurpassed perfection in every aspect.

[@avocatdenis]

Excellent, but not unsurpassed. Still excellent.

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Grigory Sokolov The Best Chopin piano concerto no 2 players! Sokolov a class of his own playing Chopin piano concerto no 2! Ashkenazy and Rubinstein The Best piano sound!!

[@micaelabonetti949]

Thank you for your splendid words! Could write exactly the same ones...

[@MagnoliA-75]

Послушайте как играет Алексей Султанов. Это абсолютный Гений, он все играет так, как будто это играет сам композитор!

[@hotbebimauz]

I also believe that it is a shame there are only a few live recordings of Pletnev available such as the Carnegie hall album. People who call Pletnev dry and cold have never experienced him live. In concert there is a new dimension, just incredible. In almost all cases he is so much more inspired than when he plays in studio which he dislikes. Performances like this one here as well as his live perf. on YT of the Preludes, Rach 3 , Pictures at an Exhibition etc. should be all available on DVD.

[@Tamara-qd5dc]

While every note and sound are measured with precision, his performance is so emotional and thoughtful, you can't help it but play this video time and over again. Pletnev is brilliant! I heard him play Chopin 35 years ago and still remember the delicate sound and suspense of his music like it happened yesterday.

[@MaeLeong]

Pletnev is one of my favorite pianists.

[@АлександрБогуславский-п3у]

Потрясающе . Лучшегоисполнения 2 концерта не представляю

[@ОлександрНікулін-м4д]

Совершенно иное прочтение Шопена. Динамизм и грандиозность в сочетании с акцентированием мельчайших нюансов.БРАВО!!!

[@789armstrong]

On this 2nd mvmnt Pletnev is pure magic. He makes the piano speak like a human voice.Every note is deeply felt as if he is completely identified with Chopins exact emotions .The gradual nuances, shadings, smooth impeccable legato of the right hand, combined with a perfect sense of timing make this rendition impossible to beat.I love Zimmerman too, but here Pletnev is truly into his naturally born 6th sense.A state of subconscious comunion with the composer himself.

[@Меломанка-б2э]

Прекрасно до слёз! Надеюсь, Плетнёв сыграет этот концерт ещё не один раз и порадует нас ещё более глубоким проникновением в музыку Шопена!

[@hotbebimauz]

I know Sokolov's version, he certainly plays beautifully but still sounds like a very good pianist playing awesome piano, when I listen to Pletnev playing this concerto I forget about all this because I am taken away by the sheer presence of music. Pletnev establishes new dimensions, that's the difference. And yes, his sound is more like a cold brilliance but from every note breathes an incredible, ice-cold tenderness. It sounds just "right".

[@alirezazareefar8225]

Amazing Maestro Pletnev😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Екатерина-б7ц8н]

Любимейший исполнитель!

[@外山貴康-b2w]

ショパンピアノ協奏曲第2番ヘ短調をマイケル　ペレトネフさんの演奏で聴いています。ピアノ音が鮮明で美しい響きでとても私の心が癒されます。ありがとうございます。オーケストラの前面でダイナミックに軽やかにひとつひとつの音がくっきりと表現されています。この方の演奏で様々な楽曲を聴いてみたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

[@hotbebimauz]

You might be right but Pletnev enriches my live with his pianism and that is what counts for me . He is a fantastic pianist and definitely on the level of Horowitz. Pletnev is excentric and therefore there will always be people calling his playing contrived. We won't be able to change that. People with a real sense for music will get notice of this genius, even in hundred years.

[@j.vonhettlingen7112]

This is another fine piece of Chopin! Pletnev's fingers dance on the keys, as if they were loose!

[@MaeLeong]

His gentle and effortless approach is very intriguing. His soft palette is full of colours.

[@chrisczajasager]

quite enchanting.The very gifted conductor has good manners too, acknowledging the Concertmaster....Pletnev playing this even more beautifully than the 1 st concerto.Interesting, the comments from others who seem oblivious to Novaes, Argerich, Josef Hofmann, the Lhevinnes, CORTOTand Lipatti, supreme Chopin interpreters, Paderewski......

[@TheEdie1958]

Sublime and Scintillating your musical expertise and experience resonates with the audience mental concentration and musical prowess unsurpassed.

[@ЛюбовьСмирнова-я8д]

Огромное спасибо Блистательный Любимый

[@evamalchiodi8956]

Grazie Maestro Pletnev….

[@789armstrong]

Watching Pletnevs face during this performance is quite revealing.He is really totally tuned in on Chopins vibration. I wish these great performances were on a DVD.

[@hotbebimauz]

Yes, I noticed that. I did not know Rubinstein accents those thirds, too. Pletnev has never been a fan of Rubinstein's Chopin and I dare to say that Pletnev's renditions of both Chopin concertos may be the best ever given. I feel his conception and his playing are completely in the spirit of Chopin. Listeners who believe in a tempestuous and proud young Chopin might not be satisfied with Pletnev's approach. To me his concertos are a revelation.

[@ОлександрНікулін-м4д]

Я восхищен!

[@rubomayo]

Thank you!

[@АлександрБогуславский-п3у]

Маэстро от бога .

[@hotbebimauz]

Pletnev himself claims that in the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory he never had achieved to play well - I believe in this hall he does pure magic. Of course, he must be in the proper mood to find his way into the music. Chopin's 2nd concerto is an early work and certainly musically inferior to the later works but still, it stays one of my favourite piano concertos because of the gorgeous melodies, and no pianist plays them more beautifully than Pletnev. I will listen to Krakoviak tomorrow.

[@789armstrong]

Pletnev has a great gift in that when he is in the mood he can tune in on the vibrations of the great masters like Chopin Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and Chopin.Unfortunately he believes his great gift is self induced and starts taking outrageous liberties with the score, the critics nail him as does also the public.His name will therefore not be remembered as Richter and Horowitz several hundred years from now which is a real trajedy.His feeling in this Concerto is totally awesome.

[@wnaenni]

Ein ganz großes Erlebnis!

[@alexandrorlov-sokolsky7442]

Very impressive, as well as the Sultanov

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

The Best Chopin piano concerto no 2 players Are really Grigory Sokolov ( The most beautiful piano sound! Sokolov The Best rhythmic vitalness! Artur Rubinstein and Vladimir Ashkenazy The most beautiful piano sound Ever! Ashkenazy his recording from 1963! I heard Sultanov live Chopin piano concerto no 2! Better than Pletnev but not The Best!!

[@MaeLeong]

Meticulously play with lovely tone.

[@mmbmbmbmb]

Very beautiful touch ~ even though I would have loved to hear it played on a different piano (my favorite ;o) ... Bösendorfer) Thank you very much for posting!

[@hotbebimauz]

Perfectly said! This miraculous playing makes me speechless. The orchestra and conducting are gorgeous, too, even though no orchestra in this world will be able to follow Pletnev into his world but this does not affect this performance. Pletnev's playing once again is overwhelming, like the piano became a part of him. His playing is so natural just like speaking. I believe Chopin whould have played his concerto this way.

[@micaelabonetti949]

Lua3648: all your comments on any music, oh! better to name it sheer diamonds! performed by Mikhail Pletnëv touch me... I'm grateful both our souls respond in the same profound way to this pianist-chaman playing!

[@789armstrong]

Near the end of the 1st mvmnt of Concetto no. 1 I mentioned how Rubinstein accents the descending thirds, I noticed recently that Pletnev accents those same notes too! Meaning that he agrees with Artur Rubinsteins conception.

[@MagnoliA-75]

Плетнев играет самобытно, без всякого пафоса, спокойно, я бы сказала достойно, очень мне нравится. Послушайте еще этот концерт в исполнении Алексея Султанова. Это наш гениальный пианист который уже, к сожалению покинул наш мир очень молодым, и о котором несправедливо умалчивали и умалчивают по сей день в нашей стране!

[@Джейсон-в2е]

nice orchestration

[@bosiljkavujovic9376]

Try to listen this concerto interpreted by Alexei Sultanov! Thank you!

[@errr8564]

Да. Алексей вдохнул жизнь в своё исполнение.

[@789armstrong]

Mikhail Pletnev is among the very greatest pianists that have ever lived.I love his Chopin Concertos, but realistically speaking he has unfortunately created a reputation for being controversial, which will be very hard if not impossible to get rid of.The public unfortunately will never camp out all night on the sidewalk as it did for Horowitz, to buy tickets to his concerts.Pletnevs stunning legato will never be surpassed, but in a hundred years nobody will know.Thats reality my friend.

Frederick Chopin denotes romanticism evocative like costume dramas Jane Austen thus enjoy both the Sonatas and Nocturnes. Terra Sigillata antique pottery for the medieval modernist Roman and Gail.

[@ОлександрНікулін-м4д]

Впечатление, что дирижер полностью под властью исполнителя

[@789armstrong]

Critics love to stereotype since getting to know someone individually requires introspection.The most gorgeous piano playing I have ever heard in my life is Volodos transcription of Tchaikovsky's Berceuse opus 54 no. 10 I thank God I have it on DVD.You can watch it here on youtube also.I would love to hear your opinion on this particular piece and performance which I like over every piece I have ever heard.

[@GianniFranceschi]

Is it a particular version of this Concerto? In my score the orchestral parts are quite different in several passages. For example at the very beginning of the first movement I hear a clarinet, that is not written.

[@789armstrong]

Pletnev plays this Concerto beautifully, impeccable technique and beautiful tone, Pletnevs trademarks, but I really think I prefer Krystian Zimmerman with Giulini and the Los Angeles Philharmonic.Zimmerman treats many of the repeats like an echo which is in my opinion pure magic.To glorify everything Pletnev does I believe does not do the man justice, since he is a member of the human race and is subject to moods and good and bad days as well.I also believe the 1st Concerto is more demanding.

[@hotbebimauz]

Yes, it is Pletnev's arragement of the orchestration. He changed some things in order to make the orchestra sound more colourful.

[@夏目雅子-y1e]

プレトニュフ、コメントが欲しいのかな？話、あるピアニストがコンチェルト弾き終わったのに、司会者はプレトニュフプレトニュフって言ってるから、えっ？ピアニスト違うけどってびっくりして、よーくよーく見たら指揮台にプレトニュフが立ってた！（笑）だって僕の若い頃プレトニュフはピアニストだったから。、、これって笑い話になる？😊❤❤

Have you heard Khatia Buniatishvili play Chopin? Please tell me what you think of her.She has the Chopin Ballade #4 and 1st Piano Concerto here on youtube.

[@MaeLeong]

She is a bit too dramatic.

[@МаратАхметвалиев-с1ф]

Плетнев исполняет гораздо лучше Кисина. Душа есть.

WHAT ORCHESTRA AND CONDUCTOR PLEASE?

[@meda1451]

Russian National orchestra, Сonductor Andris Nelsons

[@hotbebimauz]

I will listen to it. Volodos' transcriptions are very creative and way better than Cziffra's. Rachmaninoff also wrote gorgeous transcriptions. I think that Volodos is a top pianist but his Rachmaninoff is too superficial-virtuous. He has not reached the level of a genius yet. To me some of the best performances ever given are the Chopin Concertos and Rach 3 live by Pletnev and Schubert's Sonata D664 by Richter (There is a video in four parts on YT). I would love to hear what you think about it.

[@danielalaura7304]

A great pianist,excellent interpretation, awful instrument ... shame!

[@СветланаФадеева-ъ3ш]

Великолепно...льется музыка....это даже не игра на инструменте...нечто...шопен в недоумении...а где польские сопли и чванливость...

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

grigori sokolovs titanic version is the best one. i like more andrei gavrilov stanislav bunin grigori sokolov they have warmer piano sound than pletnev. pletnev is cool most powerful player in the history of piano playing
