Mikhail Pletnev is a phenomenal pianist.

Thank youADGO, for sharing the GENIUS of Mikhail Pletnev playing this outstanding painting by Mussorgsky. Maestro Pletnev paints various pictures with artistic genius on the keyboard

[@ricardosalinas308]

Absolutely loved how he played the Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks. What a treasure is Pletnev.

One of the very best performances of this piece that I've heard in many years of listening. Superb. Thanks much.

"Phenomenal" treat indeed, thanks for sharing

His interpretation here is very different from another of his live ones. It takes an incredible command of the instrument to be able to perform this so powerfully in multiple ways.

[@Remi-B-Goode]

thanks

I heard him play this in the Wigmore Hall in 1989, he just walked on and started playing the moment he sat down (or maybe even as he was sitting down). It was a phenomenal performance, but hearing this is great because his reading has matured and become more intimate in the detail. And unlike some of his performances (even the good ones!) you really could give this to someone as a reference performance of this work.

Was it Schumann's Carnival? I saw him exactly like that, he just started the chords (Ta-Da--!!) and then he was relaxing his arms!! :)))

[@leestamm3187]

Agreed. As a reference, this exquisite performance ranks with the best of the multitude that I've heard over the years.

Невероятное педальное мастерство!

Спасибо, ADGO

[@bobase]

Even Richter and Horowitz might consider giving up on this piece after hearing this.

[@ClassicalRaritiesChannel]

Wow, thanks. Is this from Roque d’Anthéron?

[@ADGO]

That's the one)

Che zarro😂😂

[@user-ov6by5rj9r]

Сдержанно, аскетично, стильно

[@ediccartman7252]

Совсем не аскетично , а очень изощрённо и непохоже ни одного другого исполнителя .

[@user-ov6by5rj9r]

@@ediccartman7252 Одно не исключает другого! А про не схожесть с другими можно было не упоминать- гении, с их ярчайшей индивидуальностью - товар штучный!

Thank you so much for uploading ，ADGO. 普列特涅夫是名符其实的天才，独一无二。深思熟虑的演奏，无与伦比的音色，他是在制作音乐。而其他大多数钢琴家都是在背课文，砸钢琴。
