True virtuosity, true maestro.

He is a music genius, and a piano magician

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

[@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..

[@w3sp]

He still got it.

[@shaheenpierre]

Word.

[@notmytempo464]

Hahah

[@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

[@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

[@shaheenpierre]

Makes it look easy. Amazing colors. His movements are so economical. Love it!

[@oxanapererva7649]

Шедеврально!!! 👋👋👋

[@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.

[@pandiatonizm]

Flawless technique, beautiful to watch the easiness of touch and sound colouring, but Pletnev had it as a young person as well

[@vitaliykuloyans]

Очень виртуозно и элегантно. Браво 👏

[@smb925]

Outstanding. Refined. An affirmation of quality, thoughtfulness, maturity, sublimity. Thanks Mr Pletnev, you killed it 👍

[@waterman9524]

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

[@yanchenchen4526]

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.

[@darkstudios001]

[@paolofranceschi6874]

bravooooooooooooo!!!

[@10reubenl]

Beautiful arrangement. Love the runs up to the top notes. Very pretty! And well played! 😁

[@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

[@andrewkennaugh1065]

Wonderful...one has to make these type of pieces appear effortless and he achieves this. The cuts he made worked perfectly although the usual intro.works well.Also good to see some smiles on people's faces...!😊😊 Not sure what the preceding concerto was...

[@DennisLiew-v3w]

Tchaikovsky first, it was after the concerto

[@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.

[@giga6063]

Бравоооооо!!!!!!

[@KnyazKoschey]

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

[@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.

[@루피르피루피루피]

역시 플레트네프....

[@НатальяМужичкова-у3ю]

В отличие от многих современных исполнителей, любящих по греметь на рояле, Плетнёв М потрясающе романтичнен и элегантен! Напоминает игру манеру Рахманинова.. И Горовица.. Это подлинная русская школа пианизма!

[@MrInterestingthings]

Lhevinne and Cherkassky would smile . His sound is marvelousness !!!! Listen tohow the (line)melody is always there no matter what fioritura passages and the harmony is always clear . Why didn't Horowitz ever give us this .earl Wild !Bolet and Hough maybe
