At last!!! A cameraman who keeps the focus on the pianists hands, where it should be, rather than wandering all over the place e.g. the pianist's face, the hall, the audience et al. A great part of the pleasure for piano lovers is to enjoy the technique of great performers. The combination of sight and sound is entrancing. Well done!
definitely. really appreciated the occasional cuts to see audience reactions, but it's so frustrating when the cameraman pulls away from the keyboard during technically and musically interesting moments. makes me wanna pull my hair out.
His phrasing, his tonal control, his dynamics. his power, and his sensitivity all imbued in his interpretation of The Nutcracker Suite brought me to tears as I listened to him play with all the marvelous beauty. emotion, and brilliance of his fabulous performance. I am impressed.
I agree, though the arrangement was crafted impeccably to allow for such a skilled pianist to be rewarded for adding articulation and the highest level of dynamics and control.
Love his artistry and musicality, let along his impeccable technique. I have heard him live playing Tchaikovsky piano concerto, and it was the best I have ever heard.
I understand that the Russian audience clap in between scenes of ballet music, so it's just a Russian way. Actually I quite like that. Alexei's performance is astounding Bravo
I believe this is simply not being educated in music, as clapping in between moments of one piece is considered to be rude to pianist, as it distracts his/her concentration.
@@rustememiraliev2180 yes I get that totally, but also yet not probably needed here, could be 'food for the artist' leaving no doubt as to the appreciation of the audience?
The point is you should not applaud untill the piece is not finished, in this case, the suite. It's like clapping between movement of a sonata. As someone mentioned, it is lack of education and understanding of what you are listening to, IMHO

Wow! this guy has the chops! Jorge Bolet used to say "if Schnabel had fingers and Rhosine a soul, we'd all be out of business". He has more fingers than soul but he does have them both. Outstanding.

I am so glad that I discovered this performance. I now understand why someone said that Ivan Bessonov was ' the next Volodin'. After hearing this, all I can say is that Ivan has a very high mountain to climb - BUT - I believe that he will climb it!
What a fantastic performance by Volodin, truly a first rate technician and musician! And what an important and special piece of music this transcription by Pletnev is - akin to the Liszt/Beethoven transcriptions!
Absolutely amazing how he moves his hands so gracefully. It looks like he is completely immerse in his own world with Tchaikovsky´s piece. Here is the difference between a pianist who likes to play and the one who doesn´t. He played all of it just with the piano, immitating all the background instruments. It is wonderfull to see people loving their job. What a perfect musician. Bravo! I hope I could play ``Pas de deux´´ as good as him. It is something that I want to learn since I was a teenager
Some of the folks commenting don't seem to realize that this is a NEW arrangement of these portions of the N.S. Pletnev's arrangement and Volodin's playing made me come amazingly close to forgetting I was listening to one person playing one piano and not an orchestra. So glad we got to see Volodin's hands throughout except for a few shots of the audience.
Wow, Sir - Extravaganza-such a fabulously amazing performance of such passionate articulation and perfect technique that is expressed with intense excitement and sonorous beauty! LOVE THIS SUITE ARRANGEMENT. THANK YOU for sharing:)
This is a level of mastery that few will ever witness, fewer will ever appreciate, and almost none will ever themselves attain. I’ve watched the pas de deux portion of this performance probably 50+ times, and listened to Pletnev’s own recording of it another hundred or so. It never gets old. I am aware statements like these risk pretension, but I truly believe this to be the pinnacle of art.
This performance is near perfect to my taste. Which is peculiar because other performances are either "not on par", or might be preferred by people with other inner "sense of rhythm". Here, when I expect a passage to go smooth and quiet, it goes this way. And when my expectation is of sharp sound - I'm not disappointed. So, I have the best match between my inner "melody" and the sound of the piano. It is absolutely pleasing to listen to. Great job!
THE NUTCRACKER was arranged for piano by Sergey Taneyev, but in view of the difficulty of this arrangement, Tchaikovsky made a simplified one of his own. This work was carried out at the end of August 1892 [46].
ARTE , me emocioné escuchando esto , se nota cuando alguien tiene el don del arte y definitivamente el lo tiene , encima el cascanueces una de las obras mas hermosas que existe, gracias maestro un lujo.
Nadie tiene un don. Nadie nace enseñado o le regalan el conocimiento. Es trabajo, sacrificio, fracaso, aprendizaje y mucho, muchísimo tiempo después, éxito.
Some in the audience started clapping in the middle of a piece (8:20). Most shockingly, this performance took place in Mariinsky Concert Hall in St Petersburg, Russia. You would think of all people in the world who should know better! Lol, the pianist started shaking his head when the audience started clapping.
@@fiar2003 Wow, that's actually a cool fact, thanks, I've never seen the actuall ballet. And ya, the head shaking was great. What surprised me is that they're clapping at all after each number. I can guarantee that no one at my school would clap between the pieces of a suite like this but that might just be where I'm from

I cum
With respect to Mikhail Pletnev who made this beautiful transcription. And of course to Alexei Volodin for his incredible virtuosity.🎹🙏
you know a pianist is good when they can make a piano sound like loads of different instruments just by their touch and tone with it.
and when just the fifth finger can create myriad (magnificent) tone colors!
And he has the instrument for it too - a Steinway.
que dijiste hablo español
@@sandrabolanostorres2351 Shhhh, you'll wake the babies up. Lol.
Indeed! I agree Wirth you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This has to be one of the most acoustically perfect halls in the entire world...
Music Man agreed!! Totally...
Ever heard of Berliner Philharmonie?
Vous plaisantez, je suppose ?

So true
I enjoy the facial expressions and audience reactions. I enjoy the fingers, but I don't need to see them every minute.
Exactly 💯 As a pianist, I rather have the camera on the keyboard. Left, right and above angle.

still can’t get over how amazing this whole performance was
Pas de deux was AMAZING
I had no idea a piano could make so many notes at the same time and yet sound so perfect
Just amazing
@Ju-lb2dz -- Exactly....BRAVO from Mexico City!
Impeccable technique and artistry. The range of colors he gets is amazing.
I agree, though the arrangement was crafted impeccably to allow for such a skilled pianist to be rewarded for adding articulation and the highest level of dynamics and control.
A nice Steinway really helps a lot
Вы большой мастер, уважаемый маэстро! Спасибо и брависсимо❤
This piano and concert hall are unbelievably amazing. And of course the performer completely knocks it out of the park
TECHNICALLY CHALLENGING. BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED.
Love his artistry and musicality, let along his impeccable technique. I have heard him live playing Tchaikovsky piano concerto, and it was the best I have ever heard.
What a master of the piano. All applause were deserved for such a fabulous performance.
I understand that the Russian audience clap in between scenes of ballet music, so it's just a Russian way. Actually I quite like that. Alexei's performance is astounding Bravo
Russian applause is gratitude for the pleasure, but not for the work that has been done, like others

He has more fingers than soul but he does have them both. Outstanding.
Simply perfect. Spectacular. "Pas De Deux" made me cry, it' s enchanting, so emotional. :,) Wonderful performance.
The way he plays the 4 movement always makes me emotional absolutely beautiful
Я лучше и чутче игры не слышал ни у кого. Потрясающе.
Он мастер звуков!
Such a brilliant transcription for the piano.
Блестящее исполнение и переложение тоже! Браво!
И спасибо.

I don't comment that often, but this performance is worth commenting on. Regarding this piece, absolutory one of the best I have ever heard
That was unbelievable!!!
you are very excellent . i ever seen such perfect piano nutcraker songs. thank you so much
The grand pas gave me so much warmth, it's my favourite
This video literally was my youth ❤️ I just watched it again after years and I feel so nostalgic 🥺 I'm just so happy this is still online
Un grande pianista che suona in un modo fantastico... Un vero piacere ascoltarlo....
I played that version of March in my 8th grade Christmas piano recital
The performance is absolutely brilliant!!! Blown away
March from Nutcracker has a different feeling in me. It makes me confident, proud and stable. It has different aroma around it.
Дизлайки от зависти что ли ставят? Переслушивал уже сотни раз - лучшего исполнения никогда и ни где не слышал.
Наверное. Мне очень понравилось исполнение . И я поставила лайк. По моему очень хорошое произведение. И хорошо исполнено.
Перечтите сказку Эрнеста Гофмана "Щелкунчик и мышиный король", послушайте музыку к балету в исполлнении стмфонического оркестра, посмотрите балет и проникнитесь этой сказкой, мечтой о счастье и о вечной любви, чистой, бессмертной , детской.
Все эти эпитеты никак не подходят к этой сюите в исполнении Володина. Потрясающе громко,грубо, бравурно, блестяще, тенически
легко, бездумно, с огромным напором, зверским наездом на зал.... публика любит эффектную сногсшибательную игру .

Блестящие виртуозные возможности неприемлемые к контексту содержания обесцениваются.
И рада бы поучиться, но могу только посочувствовать- "Сила есть ума не надо".
Чему здесь завидовать? такую техничность, громкость, бравурность и т д. В в "Дикую Охоту" Листа, в "Мазепу, в "Дон Жуана" Листа- это да.
А в Чайковского ......, так У Чайковского в тексте mf стоит прямо в 1-м такте.
Я дизлайков не ставила. Но мне больше всех нравится Щелкунчик в исполнении Маслеева
Не волнуйся ради тебя гугл сделала дизлайки невидимыми
Только хотел сказать что дизлайки Маслеевцы ставят, а они уже здесь.
I am so glad that I discovered this performance. I now understand why someone said that Ivan Bessonov was ' the next Volodin'. After hearing this, all I can say is that Ivan has a very high mountain to climb - BUT - I believe that he will climb it!
This is the perfect example of technique serving in favour of music, not the other way around. Incredible.
What a fantastic performance by Volodin, truly a first rate technician and musician! And what an important and special piece of music this transcription by Pletnev is - akin to the Liszt/Beethoven transcriptions!
Как же это красиво! Просто волшебно

Kind of blown away by how beautiful A Pine Forest in Winter is. How did I not notice?
Bravo! One of the most enjoyable video or performance I've ever seen.
what an amazing rendition of a masterpiece
I love this - it's so perfect, and all rather magical, mischievous...
Wow ! Very brilliant ! Learn with yours' version !

The best piano version! My Russian hero!
So well defined with making the piano sound like various instruments! Exceptionally well performed! Splendid work here.
I search You Tube for the version of the Pas de Deux. I look through the night, then I walk out on a field and here it is! The BEST!!!!!
may be ivan bessonov
Definitely inspiring. 👍

Woooo que lindooooo tocaaaaa❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏

Absolutely beautiful ❤️
😮 не раз смотрел в приближении - мощь. Но играет как хочет. За то и молоток))
Best ever performance.
Magnifique ❤❤❤
Bravo ! 🎶💐🎶Bravissimo ! ✨🎶🌹🎶✨
Tocas perfecto ❤️
Algún día aprenderé a tocar como tu ❤️
A very full and rich sound similar to Volodos. Absolutely stunning performance.
The last song is soooo awsome
*Piece
Bravo ! Maravillosa ejecución magistral !
Excellent. Amazingly difficult
On my bucket list to be able to play this good..
Pity you don't add being able to speak English well to your list.
Просто БОГ! Это шикарно, спасибо!
Love it Maestro!!!
He has a very sensitive ears. oh lovely sound......!!

The time where clapping in between movements is fine. This was super impressive!
Awesome show of skill and talent.
so beautiful
The last piece, Pas de Deux, is always emotional. Well played!
Masterpiece , what a gentle way of playing
I was in the concert. It sounded so calming that I actually fell asleep. It wasn't a bad thing, it's just that I fall asleep when I hear a good song 😆
4:04 I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that must be to play. And it's amazing.
Okay, seriously, the chord progression in grand pas de deux with the 12/8, the walking bass line in march, did Tchaikovsky just like start jazz/blues?
BRAVO!
15:45 to the end left me bamboozled that was magical
bravo ! breathtaking 😍😍
プレトニョフの編曲は単にオーケストラをピアノに移行させたのでもなく、技巧をひけらかすための編曲でもなく、音楽をピアノに同化させてるところがすごいよね…🥰
Thank you for sharing this video-great talent and such a magnificent piece of music to play-so beautiful!
Bravo...........excelente interpretación..............................
Hello Silviа!)
Perfection❤
If you listen carefully, you can hear the two additional invisible hands that he is blessed with.
More than nice the melodies, teacher...thank you...so lovely too, really...very nice in the interpretation, wonderfull...
Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this
8:23 don't know whether I should be laughing or angry
dude did you realise that in the end, he waited for a long time after he finish to show the audience that it is disrespectful?
?

It's not unusual to clap at that moment as it's generally the end of a dance or solo in the ballet itself. But the SMH moment was still funny as hell
