Pletnev - Mendelssohn Piano Concerto No.1

[@adriennebeecker5000]

Maestro Mikhail Pletnev gives the BEST performance of Mendelssohn with the attention to his perfect tempo, colourful nuances and melodies here. A GENIUS!

[@ivan96148]

Maestro Mikhail Pletnev is GENIUS! This is so perfectly performed@

[@dowtonabbey5501]

Pletnev's performance is extremely expressive and very lyrical and he doesn't runaway with the tempo as do so many other performances that I have heard. I truly enjoy hearing this particular interpretation of Mendelssohn's beautiful masterpiece!!

[@justmoritz]

I feel like he does run away a bit in the finale

[@natalikosheleva4387]

Восхитительный концерт и исполнитель Михаил Плетнёв ! Браво !

[@PedroFragosoPires]

Pletnev is a true and complete MUSICIAN. True orchestral understanding of MUSIC together with complete instrument domain. Beautiful, as EVERYTHING he does. Listen to the deepness and colorfulness of his Rachmaninoff.

[@faridfadel655]

Pletnev brings us to a better understanding of Mendelssohn's genius by bringing out every melody in the score . He is like another conductor . . . but in this case the keyboard notes are the musicians . This is the best performance of the piece I have listened to so far . Thank you so much for sharing

The Best Mendelssohn piano concerto no 1 is Dimitri Bashkirov With The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra video KZbin from 1989! Bashkirov( The Best beautiful perfect piano sound Ever!). Bashkirov The melodies Are rolling with passion! Bashkirov The Best tempos! The really Bad Mendelssohn piano concerto no 1 players Are=Pletnev ( ice.cold Power) Thibaudet ( The weakest Ever) Marc Andrd .Hamelin( The cyborg The Human Machine). Rudolf Serkin ( rough cold raw) Yuja Wang ( The crazy Bad Roar ! Restless= Yuja Wang!!) Emil Gilels ( too heavy.playing). Perahia ( thin colorless tone! Not good sound Murray! You must play Murray Perahia Mozart piano concerto no 25 that is The best! Mozart concerto 25!).

Just MARVELOUS! Just as light and fine as the fabled gossamer -- full of a sense of whimsy and elfin mischief Such a refreshing change from the usual bombastic, fury-driven approach too often associated with the work, Pletnev is one of the most refined, original, vividly imaginative players around. I don't think he's received anywhere near the acclaim he deserves. Perhaps because he so often "underplays" some of the great virtuoso vehicles in the business?

[@murrayaronson3753]

Pletnev is the conductor/music director of one of Russia's leading orchestras the Russian National Orchestra. I attended a concert of theirs last year at Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa, Orange Co. California. Unfortunately it was not well attended.

[@MrVolpetina]

Quanta poesia....grandissimo Pletnev.....mai virtuosismo fine a se stesso come altre esecuzioni troppo veloci e isteriche..... Aleggia dappertutto la cantabilità di Mendelsshon nel secondo tempo stupendo.... Suono cristallino perfetto nel terzo tempo......ad una velocità strepitosa....perfetto! Bravo!

[@Michelle6998832]

Magical performance ✨️ of one of my all-time favorite piano concertos. This great and talented pianist brings Mendelssohn's melodic lines and lyricism to life with his ability to capture the mood of each movement. The orchestra is also sublime and, likewise, a hand and glove match. Thank you! 🌻

[@mariaparfonova2005]

@@christopheleclair5367 Значит, Вы мыслите слишком узко, если оцениваете игру музыканта только по принципу попал/не попал, даже не пытаясь вслушаться в микродинамику. Многие путают сосредоточенность с механичностью, но при этом все забывают что у всех музыкантов разный стиль игры, каждый исполнитель понимает одну и ту же музыку по-своему. Сколько музыкантов столько и интерпретаций. Заранее извините, если комментарий Вас каким-то образом задел, но мне уже порядком надоело видеть "экспертов", чья критика заканчивается чистыми/грязными нотами.

@@mariaparfonova2005 Я не думаю, что ты кто-то, кто по праву может оценить качество и широту моего мышления, поэтому меня это никак не задело, но охарактеризовало прежде всено тебя, к сожалению. Вообще, русские быстро переходят на личности. Это им чести не делает. Ты сам(а) практикуешь какой-нибудь инструмент? И еще: не потому что "Плетнев", что значит "качественно". Нужно выбираться из из стереотипов и idées préconçues. И наконец, следует учиться тому, чтобы уметь принимать чужие мнения, особенно если они отличны от твоего. А теперь по делу: "микродинамики" здесь никакой - просто откровенно поспешно и загнанно. Но если ты это ценишь, то - используя твой же собственный подход - у тебя слишком узкое и неразвитое мышление. Нравится так? 😉 А вообще, Плетнев педофил 😆

[@adriatorras8077]

Wow, Mendelsohn is amazing.

[@MrJorgeseijo]

The best interpretation!

[@hotbebimauz]

I agree. I was talking of fast tempos in general which Wang mostly chooses in her interpretations. What I hear is that Pletnev's playing here is more nuanced and just more elegant to me, more unique than Yuja's. It has something special I cannot describe. I like many of Yuja's interpretations though.

[@kishosoundandvision]

impossible virtuoso ... magical

[@nicholasstojanoff856]

It is a glittering work with rainbow colours which suits Pletnev’s playing perfectly. It is not a work of profundity but it never was meant to be. It is old school repertoire.

[@bloodgrss]

I have always liked Pletnev!. Yuja is 25-has years of growing and developing; tho' I do rate her highly, having heard her several times live, even now in some interpretation. I her clarity of play, delicacy of touch, and effortless speed in keeping up with Masur's lead is spot on for this. She herself admits being able to play TOO fast is her primary fault..I simply do not feel it is an issue with Felix!. But then, we have classic Serkin too--so it will always go on! We really need them all...

If anyone was wondering, I believe the orchestra in this magnificent performance of Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No. 1, performed by Mikhail Pletnev, is the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Pavel Kogan. I found out from the following video link, plus it has the entire 3rd movement unlike the beginning of it in this video which got a little cut off (I'm not sure if the recording in the following video link is of the same performance as that of this video): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHzMf2WGnbR0opY

[@natalibuskova6551]

bravo!

[@bloodgrss]

You have a right to your opinion! I applaud MANY pianists and do not look for 'absolutes'. I DO think that "quite poor" is a strong and wrongheaded qualifier; I and many find PLENTY of "colours and refinement in tone" in Yuja's play. Also, "... but speed is not everything. Much can get lost." is not only, if you pardon me, a rather trite and obvious thing, it is not relevant here-particularly as Pletnev plays this about half a minute faster! Let's say BOTH are a credit to our musical world.
