Wow. Pletnev comes in, sits down, plays the piece with the upmost smoothness, and casually leaves. What a boss.

[@davidkotler7466]

@Robert Lee, Countertenor It's not always narcissism although I can understand where you're coming from - I know for example that Richter would sometimes sit at the piano and not start playing until he counted to 30 in his head.

[@alessandropelizzoli6613]

Maybe He could be a boss, but, to me this Is not Music. Mere exercise.

The strength and total command of his playing is astonishing. He even gets better with age...if that's possible. His late 70's videos prompted visions of what the great Liszt might have looked like at that age. Wow.

A fantastic interpretation without mannerisms! Good taste in playing the piano!

[@musiclassic1]

Yes, ice cold flawless and robotic is how I like my romanticism.

[@TomBarrister]

@musiclassic1 Pletnev prefers to put his mannerisms into the music, rather than bounce around like so many do, something that is and was done by other "robotic" musicians such as Heifetz, Horowitz, and (to a degree) Rubinstein.

[@musiclassic1]

@@TomBarrister He doesn't seem to me to be a very mannered man on the inside either then, considering he sounds nothing like Heifets, Horowitz and Rubinstein. He sounds more like a Pollini-wannabe who fails at being as skilled or inspired as Pollini.. But whatever, that's just my taste speaking.

[@TomBarrister]

Few concert artists play this piece as written. All have their own embellishments, and most use some variation of the four chord ending. Horowitz got the idea from Chopin's Ballade No. 3 (Opus 47), which uses the same ending, except that in the Ballade, the second chord (F minor) is played on the dominant note (C), and Horowitz's ending plays it on the tonic note (F). Pletnev designed his own descending run leading to the four chords, using mainly the white keys.

[@BOCELLIRITTER]

Bravo!

[@wrstrfgh]

The lightness is staggering ..... I find this by (very) far the most likable rendition, even if the other recordings appear to be of low quality.....

I can play this piece, but when he plays it, it literally sounds like a new piece, and also, is his ending different from original

[@iampracticingpiano]

He copied the ending composer by Vladimir Horowitz

[@eliaseiffert2207]

🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@uliwidmaier5192]

Extremely well played, with a delightful dry humor. Some comments say this is better than Horowitz. I think Pletnev himself, who knew Horowitz well, would be the first to disagree. As the great Lazar Berman once said, "“To compare me or any other pianist with Horowitz is a sacrilege, a profanity, like spitting on a saint in church.”

[@kunfupapa8162]

I think you are absolutely right ! Pletnev has the good taste not to imitate Horowitz and yet he manages to deliver a rendition of this etude that is close in spirit to Horowitz's. Close technically but not better in my opinion because Horowitz made music sound even more genuine, sparkling, vivid, smartly poetic, intrinsically right and fair... I think young Pletnev was very close to that when he played his sleeping beauty transcription in Moscow.

[@denizsincar29]

how to learn the pletnev's great ending with 4 cords.

[@vivvpprof]

What do you mean "how to learn", obviously you hear him playing the chords. That's like asking "how to learn the name of the piece"...

The only part that's like Horowitz is the four chord ending.
