Sometimes a human being has a gift to give to the world. A gift so great ,so extraordinary that it takes immense effort to just be able to give it ,a lifetime of effort.But one day, that simple human offers and in that moment, he is more then just himself ,he creates something so great that the whole world can reseive it an eternal and unique gift that will never fade. Alexei Sultanov gave his gift und made this world richer with new music ,new emotions and nuances that no one had ever heard before. I,m so grateful that Maestro could give to us all. I hope that many people will hear them too and that the world remembers and continues to enjoy his gift for ever. ❤️
Listen to his recordings of Rachmaninov’s 2nd piano concerto and Tchaikovsky’s 1st piano concerto, as good as I’ve ever heard anyone play them yet he seemed to play them with something extra, a great loss, my favorite all time pianist
Genius, real genius! Were there other musicians like this in the world? And what a short life... literally a moment... Thanks for the story! Looking forward to new videos on your channel.
I defended my thesis about gifted children at the university and was asked a question - where are the gifted adults? And among other reasons I said that geniuses seem to live shorter lives. The professors smirked at it but I remembered it now having watched the video. Indeed Alexey was so hard working and passionate, and generously sharing his talent. People keep applauding him even when he’s gone. That’s so true. Thank you for the story.
Thank you for this interesting story. I have never heard about Alexey Sultanov before. A tragic fate, but unfortunately not uncommon among perfectionists and artists.
This story proves that extremely hard work stands behind every talent. Also, Alexey had massive support from his parents and great coaches who helped to develop his talent. He lived short but sparkling life. I never heard about this pianist before. Lena, well done for expanding your informative channel for English-speaking audience! 👍🏻👏
How about the thousands and thousands of very gifted students who all finished the Moscow conservatory without any glory? Ivo Pogorelich explained how hard it was. Playing only Bach during the first year and nothing else ( wich is good and wich makes sense). A lot of pressure. Finally every musician has to spare his individual spirit and his creativity of course. If you don't play at the Taschikowsky competition or if ya don't get a prize that's it...But that does not mean that you can't play and express!
@@eleonorecoste6338 You are mistaken, Alexei did not have Vascular Ehlers Danlos, just as he did not have bulimia, which is attributed to Alyosha in one American article in 2005. Please look for reliable information on fan sites about Alexey.
Alexei Sultanov was a genius indeed and he was able to understand how a jury creates its "verdicts" at competitions. He never agreed to people who didn't open their mind and who denied space and higher spirits. What a sad story that this young musician died at 35 years! R.I.P. maestro Sultanov!
He was quite original, yes, but sorry, demonstrably not a "genius". As a mere interpreter, nobody is anyway. And enough with the inflationary use of this word. Musically, he wasn't mature enough. Sometimes he played too absurdly hastily and obtrusively. And often too continuous, too carelessly loud, brute in his touch.

Alexander Malofeev este un geniu contemporan in varsta de doar 21 de ani. Sultanov tine de trecut si-l recunoastem in panoplia regilor pianului, Malofeev este in plina stralucire.
I found out here that it is better to leave comments in the size of 7-8 words, because short monosyllabic comments are not taken into account by the system. So I'm on the mend :)
Great documentary about a great pianist! Sultanov was the antithesis of Lang Lang and Mini skirt Yuja. Sincere emotion and passion without the choreography and pretenses. Just curious, was the narrator trying way too hard to sound American with a little bit of British thrown into the mix? Chapeen?
@@angela2726😮No, he had the 1st stroke after not being given the 1st prize at Chopin contest (got 2nd, the 1st was not awarded then). Also, he had a heavy contract with over 200 concerts in two years - too much, considering that he was ,,killing" himself every time he performed - lost weight and got soaked to the skin in his toxido jacket. Besides, he aimed at returning to Russia as a winner of Chaikovsky contest but actually was unfairly disqualified not being let to play in the finali (due to the dirty game of authorities of Moscow conservatory). That was a heavy blow for Alexei, the genius, and great disappointment. And it nearly killed him. He needed recognition in his home piano school - Russia. And no, he didn't drink. He was sporty (a master of fighting arts, black belt), modest and fully devoted to his art... Worked hard and died after 5th stroke 😢. Still remains 1st piano genius of the 20th century.
"he was born in a family of (failed)musicians....there is a very tiny line between genius and child abuse....I am sure at the competition where he broke his finger it was "you play, or die" situation...

30 июня 2024 года. Вечная память удивительному Художнику и мужественному человеку Алексею Султанову!
I feel so fortunate to have heard how amazing he was at such a young age, but also very sad knowing how much we missed out on.
I hope that somewhere, somehow he knows that we still listen to him, admire him and love him. A brilliant artist taken too soon.
A genius who gave us his masterpieces.
Il voit mieux, il comprend mieux, charismatique musicien, fascinant, quel bonheur …
Thank you for sharing this. What a wonderful young man. Life is so unfair 😢❤

What a talent! It's very unfortunate that it happened...
He was a wonderful musician. I never heard of him before
Absolutely stunning and incredible person.
Hi Lena, I didn't know about this kid before your video.
Thank you so much for sharing. Wonderful work!
Genius, real genius! Were there other musicians like this in the world? And what a short life... literally a moment...
Thanks for the story!
Looking forward to new videos on your channel.
Inmenso sultanov....!!!

His short life was so inspiring! I've never heard of him before and his story is truly amazing, thank you
He was a genius. Love his playing. Thank you for the story 🙏 ❤️
My favorite all time pianist since 1989.
I haven’t heard about him before. But he was a genius! Thank you
He was a talented musician.
Never heard of him but his story is amazing! Even though so incredibly sad...
He was an prodige and an unique pianist but like mozart, he only live 35 years
Thank you for this interesting story. I have never heard about Alexey Sultanov before. A tragic fate, but unfortunately not uncommon among perfectionists and artists.
Great documentary! And thanks for the great voice-over !
Lena, thank you for you work! This boy is real genius ❤
an angel❤❤❤❤😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
💥Alexei fuè una estrella tan brillante, que el hecho de que se haya apagado no disminuye
en nada su brillo.🌟
Thank you for your work. I watch your videos also in original language. Very inspiring video.

I’ve never heard of Sultanov before, but what a story! 👏🏼
I have never heard about him before. It was very interesting, thanks!
no doubt, Aleksei was a real, great genius of all times!❤❤❤
Thank you for the interesting interview!
Fascinating story, thank you for sharing!
Amazing, so very gifted.
I heard him ... he touched my soul
Thank you for this video 👍
Wonderful story, thanks 👍
High price for such a gift!
Such a gifted musician, such a tragic fate. Thank you for bringing his story to the light.
I think he had a genetic desease :
Vascular Ehlers Danlos syndrome…

Originality is easy when you hold no respect for the artform. When all the originality achieves is to diminish your performance to that of an amateur.
Amazing
Thank u for ur videos
wow. english dub 😲 go Lena, go Lena 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Good judges in the competition, they put his health first.
Un geniu este tocmai invers de cum este definit in acest video, mai exact 90% talent si 10% munca; pentru cei netalentati este tocmai invers.
Nunca lo había razonado desde ese ángulo !
Genial !!!!!!!
A genius God Bless this angel
❤❤❤❤
1:19 ridiculous socks
So this asinine, petty quip is the

Wow
Benedetti Michelangeli had heart failure too. They gave too much.

Nice, lah.
I really appreciate your work. This video is one of my favourite ones. You have opened Alex Sultanov for lots of people.

Never heard of him.

Nice socks! But seriously, a great story!
Does anyone know the piano piece @ 53 seconds? Thankyou.
Op. 28 No. 24
Thankyou so much X ; )@@rlajiw966
Great doc but it really freaks me out when someone misspronounce "pianist" and above all "Chopin" 😢
Стыдно слушать как иностранцы восхищаются, а у нас про Алексея полная тишина
strokes at 35? jesus.... i wonder why....
Smoking ? Bad lifestyle ? Too much stress ?
@@angela2726😮No, he had the 1st stroke after not being given the 1st prize at Chopin contest (got 2nd, the 1st was not awarded then).

The most important competitions are 1. Moscow, 2. Warsaw 3. Leeds 4. Van Cliburn. Full stop.
"he was born in a family of (failed)musicians....there is a very tiny line between genius and child abuse....I am sure at the competition where he broke his finger it was "you play, or die" situation...
Silly voice narrator
