[@ЖаннаБоровикова-з4ю]

Обожаю игру М.Плетнева.Это всегда глубоко, проникновенно, гармонично,без внешних эффектов.

[@789armstrong]

Awesome! Pletnev plays like a 19th century keyboard giant of the past.

[@figvam86kip15]

ШИКАРНО, ГЕНИАЛЬНО! ДЕЛИКАТНО, ЧИСТО, ИНТЕЛЛИГЕНТНО!

Фірмач!Техніка,артикуляція,динаміка....просто кайф!!!

[@MrInterestingthings]

You have to say this is always a welcome piece of schmaltz. But so few pianists have the requisite charm and technic and wtists to play it ! Pletnev like Horowitz fascinsted eith jewelled colors and musicality!!!

[@christopherczajasager9030]

The greatest playing of this ...Josef Lhévinne..

[@eddydelrio1303]

[@paulm3079]

Pletnev is the Chuck Norris of piano - just fantastic stuff. Well done to the sound crew as well - it sounds perfect and with no distortion, even when he really gets into it. Harder to do than it seems given the dynamic range of this sort of music.

[@waterman9524]

So happy to hear and see. Unbelievable! One of the trickiest things ever - he still tosses it like it’s nothing.

[@toparbitr0923]

Выдающийся музыкант мирового уровня и блистательное виртуозное исполнение. При чём здесь лучшая русская школа? Чем она отличается от не лучшей и не русской? Может, вы можете отличить по слуху русскую школу от французской, итальянской или американской?

[@arakelandmusic]

​@@toparbitr0923частично с Вами и согласен и не согласен. Школа в основном ставит постановку рук. Но тут при этом обобщать не надо ,у него школа Тимакина ,а не конкретно " русская" ,в России многим ставят и прямые пальцы или другую постановку рук . Плетнева научили многому,но то ,как он мыслит и выдает с помощью разного звукоизвлечения эти мысли - это собственно симбиоз его гения и школы ) многим и руки хорошие ставят ,и учат мыслить академично ,но они так и близко не играют ,как Михаил Васильевич

[@KeithWhalen11]

1:47 phrasing from another planet. Pletnev is arguably one of the best to ever do it and I'd take his Shigeru Kawai over the big name instruments.

[@joeyblogsy]

Yeah he sort of ‘punches’ the note at the beginning of the phrase and then phrases off which is a very typical Russian approach to expressing a melody. Really wonderful

Impeccable！Pletnev is the greatest pianist of all time maybe...

[@geuros]

he's great, but you still have Rachmaninoff, Richter, Gilels, Horowitz, Rubinstein..... I would pick as the greatest anyone of those before Pletnev.

[@joeyblogsy]

@@geuros Rachmaninov, Richter and Horowitz sure but Gilels and Rubinstein are no way the same league.

[@geuros]

@@joeyblogsy imho, they easily are. There are many more pianists I would pick before Pletnev...

[@ShadowShinobi108]

For me it's Richter, Arrau, Horowitz, Sokolov, Cziffra, maybe even Kissin. I haven't listened to enough Argerich, but I know she's up there. But these lists of GOATS are always ambiguous; it's great that people can share their thoughts.

[@KnyazKoschey]

Михаил Плетнев играет нежно и грациозно. Его пальцы словно кошачьи лапки. 👍🏻

[@iamwhatiam6281]

it’s incredible how this piece seems easy to his eyes even if 99.9% of pianists can’t play this decently and with zero chance to not push wrong notes 🤣 I’m impressed by pletnev since his tchaikovsky competition in moscow with liszt rhapsody: tons of wrong notes but an outstanding repertoire of musical ideas. one of his best recordings is islamey at carnegie hall

[@KittiezeittiK]

exactly. He does so well at var 1 where I would probably once or twice on my right hand notes especially with the section where it changes to B flat major, goddamn I can't get any parts right XDD

[@skaze4466]

Alla faccia del caxxo....hai capito il vecchietto!!!! :-))) Grandioso Pletnev, visto dal vivo, è unico nella sua modalità di suonare. Wonferful!!

[@Leonid1969-e8d]

Не ожидал я такого от признанного пианиста-интеллектуала,пианиста-мыслителя. Но,видимо,ничто человеческое Плетнёву не чуждо и виртуозные игрушки тоже. I did not expect this from a recognized pianist-intellectual, pianist-thinker. But, apparently, nothing human is alien to Pletnev and virtuoso toys too.

[@MaScalo4508]

The term "scherzando" was invented after this performance 👏🏻

[@Pogouldangeliwitz]

This transcription is actually a paraphrase. It has some nice moments, moderately inventive and with quite some flair, but most transition passages are sub-par. Playing is superlative, as always.

[@rogerknox9147]

I like this even better that Jorge Bolet's recorded version -- Pletnev's approach is a bit lighter.

[@АлександрХрисанов-ж3о]

А мне вдруг подумалось, что тут Плетнёв копирует манеру игры братьев Маркс, которые были популярны в США в 30-х годах.

[@Славич-ю2ъ]

А нужно ли ему копировать чью то игру?

[@Kazuya1177]

Undoubtedly very, very good, but... this is definitely Georges Cziffra's territory. Nobody can accomplish his achievements in this repertoire, even the great maestro Pletnev.
