Oh wow, this is just SO very special!! Two brilliant young musicians together, one interviewing the other and how incredible is our favorite pianist, Alexander Malofeev. He is so humble and so kind and completely dedicated to his art. The world of classical music will be in very good hands in these two young musicians and others, of course. Thank you, thank you for this interview, both to the interviewer and the interviewee!! It's wonderful seeing Sasha talk about his thoughts behind the music!! What a blessing! (P.s., didn't you just love that gong towards the end of Gershwin?!!)🎶 😁
Thank you for your nice words! Yes, I loved the gong!
This is my 93rd birthday and I delighted to be hearing two (or parts of two) interviews of Alexander Malofeev and hearing him play. I am taking piano/music lessons by a Juliard graduate and these performances and interviews are tremendously inspiring besides the glorious day in Honolulu.
@@202rrlowe happy birthday, sir!
@@202rrlowe wow! I hope you are still enjoying the lessons.
Aleksandr Malofeev has a great Russian heart and soul. When he plays the piano you can feel this in the beauty of the music. I pray that he has a long creative happy life!
Thank you so much! I will pass this to Sasha!
I live in Moscow and had a chance to be at this very concert. What a joy it was and it is every time Malofeev performs in Moscow :) great interview
Thank you so much! It must have been wonderful!
What incredible insight into this performance by Andrea. It is so wonderful to see young people apply themselves so fully to classical music, while we, in the sixties grew up rebelling against anything old school. You are a breath of fresh air! The pendulum swings… I went from classical to rock to jazz and back to classical music over a span of 50 years, and these young people are showing me the way. What a great time to be alive!
Thank you so much for commenting and for watching!
Danke lieber Alexander. Du bist begabt. Klasse Toll. Mach weiter so 🕊️☀️
Thank you for watching!
It really warms my heart to see two young musicians conversing on this topic with such passion and intellect!
Thank you!
Aaah....Alexander!What an incredible, supremely gifted pianist and also a friendly, humble human being - the hallmark of a true artist.He is a true servant of the music.For him,and it's clear to see,it's never about him as a person but solely about the music he loves so dearly.Thank you for this interview and Alex,thank you for being your authentic self!❤
Thank you for watching!
This wonderful interview simply reinforces everything I have felt about Alexander Malofeev since the first time I came across him of UA-cam over two years ago. He is an extraordinary artist, technically superior, a true servant to the composer, whether it’s Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Bach, or Gershwin: to sum it up, a humble genius.
Thank you for watching!
Not only is Alexander a hugely talented musician but He is such a genuine, articulate young man who is very humble too. He deserves all the praise He gets and I love Him dearly. What a brilliant interview. ❤️❤️
Thank you for watching!
You made Alexander so relaxed in talking to you and your knowledge is exemplary too. I hope you interview him again as he is an amazing person.
Thank you for making this interview. He is just amazing and you made him so relaxed.
What a marvelous interview! My deepest thanks to you both.
The deepest thanks goes to YOU for supporting me each and every time! Thank you so much!
Andrea and Alex (Sasha) -- how positively delightful, to see and hear you both discuss music, adding insight to your art and performance. Life and music require more than mrelely being a good "technician," and you both add the other essential elements. 'Best wishes to you, Andrea and Alex (Sasha).
Thank you for these kind words!
Thanks for your enthusiasm Andrea, and to you both for putting this together :)
I do it with pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Alexander Malofeev has a profoundly mysterious but exceptional ability to remain true to the music he is playing but also to give us something really rather new in each performance. In many cases, he is able to bring out things in the music I hadn't (but should have) heard before. It is this quality, I feel, more than anything else that already makes him one of the very finest of our living pianists.
Thank you for watching!
So well said Thomas! Can’t agree more on this.
As a kid, my love of classical music was formed and nurtured by Horowitz and Pearlman. I am in good hands now. Thank you, gentlemen!
Thanks for watching!
Scanning down the comments it is heartwarming to see so many of the names that appear in other clips. Sasha (since that is how the interviewer addresses him) has become an interesting person, not just an attractive young man with great talent. Analysts and commentators do their thing, while my job is to listen and enjoy, which I do, a lot. Sasha gave us such understanding of how he sees his mission in this performance suggests there will be many more and different ones in his future. He has endeared himself to people around the world, thanks to modern electronics, and we all wish him happiness and and a sparkling future!
Thank you for watching!
You are sooooo very talented, gifted, friendly, enthusiastic, charming, cute, handsome, beautiful inside & outside violinist gentleman. You are the BEST INTERVIEWER as well as BEST VIOLINIST in entire world. I am happy to see Alexander Malofeev & Andrea Cicalese have such a strong bond just like true brothers. Andrea Cicalese knows how to ask the right questions and brought out the best in Alexander Malofeev. Alexander Malofeev truly has the genuine big smile when he is performing with Andrea Cicalese on stage & off stage❤️❤️🎇📸
Thank you for your wonderful words.
I am completely blown away by so much knowledge of and love for classical music....and above by such young and upcoming talents... Elderly musicians beware! ... The king is dead... long live the king! :)) Thanks and succes !
Thanks for watching!
This is my first time seeing your channel and it’s great to see you interview a rising star in the piano world like Alexander Malofeev. Great job guys!!!❤️
The enthusiasm you bring to your commentary is wonderful.
Thank you!
That’s wonderful, Andrea. I recently spoke to Zsolt thru Facebook and may get to chat with him then, as well. I am very excited to get to hear Sasha play three times and also to observe his Masters Class. Great times, yes?🙂. Have a safe trip across the pond. JH
Wow! Very interesting interview, great editing and it’s so beautiful to see two young musicians from different countries sharing their thoughts and feelings about a piece of music. That’s what the internet should be for: for sharing beauty! Bravo Andrea! ❤️😘
Thank you for your kind words!
So happy to come across this video today. I’ve watched this concert several times already and will watch it again and again. The Gershwin and Rachmaninov 2nd are my favorite concertos and and Alexander’s renditions are unsurpassed. He is an amazing pianist, not for his age, but for any age.
Huge Like. I appreciate how Alexander loves this Gerschwin piece and why.
Thanks for watching!
@@andreacicalese You might try to find a way to interview Martha Argerich. She's simply an amazing pianist and musician.
@@ds61821 I'll try!
Thank you for the interview, A great pianist indeed a nice concert, nice music. I wish you and "Sasha" a lot of succes!! Greetings from Utrecht the Netherlands
Thank you for watching!
Great interview!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. It’s precious to get a bit closer to the universe of Alexander.
It is! Thank you for watching!
Thanks à lot for this moment of grâce !
10:37 Bless those hands. Sasha brings joy to music lovers with those hands.
Video quality still 📈📈📈
Well done bro 👏👏
Thanks dude!
I love this
Thank you!!!
Andrea thank you to present Alexander..both of you are the most sensitive, refine, beautiful ans virtous young souls..you both are models for young peuple.. wonderful interview, love you both❤❤
Thank you very much for your lovely comment!
I've been a fan of 'Sasha' for a while and stumbled across this astonishing interview. I agree with other contributors and can only add my admiration to both of these very gifted musicians. The interview is so professional and the vibrant enthusiasm of both of these young musicians is so moving and encouraging at a time when we hear so much that is negative about young people, in general. The future of classical music can only be bright with such beautiful young talent. Bravo!
Thank you for such nice words! Our generation will not let you down!
wow. Incredible.
Thank you!
Thanks for a heart-felt and engaging walk-through/review of a great performance! Your enthusiasm and your professionalism combines to add to the experience of just listening to the concert!!! Keep it up💕!!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
This wonderful interview was so well presented and so enjoyable to watch - it is so refreshing to see the deep love of music these 2 young gifted men have. I have now subscribed and shared the channel with friends.
Thank you so much! This is what I like to hear!
What a brilliant video-congrats to both of you!!
My dear Zsolt! Thank you so much! Thank YOU for your consistent support!
Hi szolt...can you find out if Alexander Malofeev is working on the Bartok concertos?
I think he would bring so much to them.
Best
Kevin...soz for misspelling your name (gulp)
@@kevpendle2459 no worries! I’ll ask him but I think he’s not currently working on them-he would be incredible in that rep for sure
@@kevpendle2459 There are so many things I'd love to hear Alexander play -- among them the Khachaturian Toccata; the Beethoven Pathetique Sonata; and -- perhaps most of all -- the Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand.
A wonderful interview showing great insights from the young and brilliant. I am in awe of the command these two young musicians have of the English language, and very grateful they have taken the trouble to do it in English. We are the richer for it.
Thank you so much!
Magistral entrevista entre jóvenes talentosos en la Música nos enseñan tanto con esta aventura en este mundo maravilloso felicitaciones a los dos y los mejores éxitos en sus vidas maravillosas!!!
I AM LUPITA I AM 76 YEARS AND ALL MY LIFE I LOVE CLASIC MUSIC BECAUSE MY FATHER PLAYED HIS PIANO. I AM A FAN OF Alexander Malafeev he is wonderfull and the Best playing the piano and all my life i knew many. I like to Still near him until the years God me alive. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! your videos just keep getting better!
Thanks for these great insights into such a wonderful interpretation from a phenomenal pianist!!
Thank you so much, Tonio! I do think that our arrangement of "Married Life" will remain one of my favorites!
Bravo ... and many thanks to you both for the wonderful interview ... it is so awesome to watch you both "in person" ... off the stage, off the cuff, natural and "in touch" with your adoring fans. Encore', encore' encore' ...
Thanks so much!!!
Outstanding ! Merci beaucoup from Paris France and take care 😁 😆
Merci beaucoup! Je suis très reconnaissant pour votre soutien! Salutations de Munich, Allemagne.
Thanks a lot for this interview ! You're both great !
Thank you so much!
WONDERFUL REVIEW!!! I watch it over and over again.
And: It was a great joy talking to you briefly outside the church in Verbier last Monday during the intermission. What a coincidence! I wish you all the best for your concert in Buffalo. If I can't make it to listen to both of you over there, maybe in Verbier, July 31st? Or in Venice, Malibran, December, 2nd. I'll be there, and when I'd spot you by surprise, I'll wave to you from far - that's for sure.
(One more thing: How you pronounced Clara Schuman's «Hexenvariationen» in the Romanovsky review: just perfect - without ANY accent! Bravo!)
Thank you Andrea to bring this rare chance to let us know the insights. It’s always interesting to know the insights behind the music. Next time I would love to listen to the story of his beloved Rachmaninov. )) Thank you again. 💗
Hello Eve! Thank you so much for your comment! I really appreciate it. Whenever Sasha and I decide to shoot again I will mention your wish!
@@andreacicalese Thank you Andrea!! So glad to hear that! Looking forward to your next cooperation with Sasha!!!💖☺️
Hello to mrs. @Evewong, so good to see you here too. (Holland-Europe)
@@emilyhutjes Hello Ms.Hutjes,nice to see you too. It’s a wonderful interview hosted by Andrea for Alexander. ))
Sasha plans to play Gershwin concerto again in Moscow on November 26. I‘ll try to get tickets, it‘s not easy. Thank you for the interview. Greetings from Moscow! 👏
Thank you for watching!
@Valeri Kusavlev, Hello from Holland-EU, do you know if Mr. Putin has ever attended a concert of the beloved Alexander Malofeev? I have send him a video from UA-cam about Alex.
@@emilyhutjes If Putin ever sees Shasha, he'll never allow him to travel again LOL!
@@jonmanabimichael My Goodness I just tweeted a concerto with Shasha to Pres. Poetin ! He would not dare to forbid Shasha to travel? The music world would go mad !
I won’t tire of rewatching your interview of Alexander because it is so fresh, natural, and interesting, as are your other videos. Your channel will appeal to a wide range of ages if you continue along the path you are on. Much success to you. JH
Thank you so much!
Russians performing American music better than we Americans, what does that say? Haha joking aside, I’m so happy to see youth of the world so happily engaged in the world of this amazing music. It sort of restores my faith in humanity. Good video and nice interview :)
Thank you for watching and for commenting! See you in the next one!
THERE'S A KIND OF MAGIC IN BOTH OF YOU, YOUNG PEOPLE, YOU KNOW , I SAW ALEKSANDR IN A CONCERT WHEN I WENT TO MILANO AND I'LL NEVER FORGET HIM, IT WAS SUCH A HEAVENLY EXPERIENCE...
I'LL SEE HIM AGAIN EVERY TIME I GO TO GERMANY.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO
merci pour cette vidéo interactive qui nous donne une forme rare de dialogue entre ce que l'artiste propose par son travail, et ce que l'auditeur perçoit par sa sensibilité, tel est surement un des moments les plus précieux du pouvoir de communication de l'émotion partagée autour d'une oeuvre et qui est ici "orchestrer" par polyphonix...
Merci pour tes belles paroles, Gilles!
Wow ! Andrea I'm just amazed by this interview ! You have such a beautiful energy :)
Thank you so much! Means a lot!
Great conversation. Thx a lot. Much appreciated.
Thanks for watching!
absolutely great
Thank you Polyphonix for posting this interesting interview with our most beloved Alex Malofeev. (Holland- Europe)
Thank you for supporting me!
@@andreacicalese Jan. 4th. 2024, by now we love you too Mr. Del Gésù 😇🌷🌷🌷 (Amsterdam)
Me encantaría escucharos a los dos tocando juntos. Ojalá que no me pierda ese concierto cuando tenga lugar
Puedes veer como tocamos una sonata de Grieg su mi canal de UA-cam.
@@andreacicalese gracias! Ahora mismo la busco.
Really really icredible!!!!
Incredible video, you've gotten so good at what you do, huge props
Thank you so much!
Bravo for great work!
Thank you!
Thanks for this insightful video
I just wanted to say that not only is this interview very interesting, but it is so important, considering the tragic events in Ukraine, that musicians keep talking to one another like this, and keep POLITICS out of MUSIC. Already many Russian musicians and other artists are being punished for the actions of their government, which is very unfair. So I hope you will keep up a dialogue with the hugely talented young pianist Alexander Malofeev and that we will all try to encourage such dialogue and the hope that music, more than anything else, can raise us above worldly problems into a sphere of joy and peace. :-) Looking forward to more fascinating posts!
I recently found out through Zsolt Bognar’s Instagram that Sasha Malofeev was pulled out of a recital series in Vancouver even though according to Zsolt, Sasha himself spoke out against the invasion in Ukraine and is of Ukrainian descent 😢
They did the same thing to all the Japanese people after World War II😡
@@kiaraeijo it's very sad, and completely unjust.
@@kiaraeijo I wrote a rather angry letter to that Vancouver Orchestra. No human should cancel the world most loved Alexander Malofeyev !

So interesting !!!
I enjoyed this interview and review very much. Malofeev is so likeable and talented.
Du bist ein Held, weiter so!!!^1!
Omgoodness!!! What a joy to discover this! I am so happy to hear Gershwin played so beautifully!!
Thanks for watching.
Thank you!!!!
Thank you for watching!
great video!
Great stuff!!
Thank you so much!
It was maestro Pletnev who rekindled my interest in classical music!
Andre, do I understand correctly that you will be coming to Buffalo, NY in March to see Sasha? If so, that is great! I will attend all the events, and will look you up and say hello, if I may. I bet he will be very happy to meet you. JH
Hi! Yes, in around 10 days I will be spending some time with Alexander Malofeev and other friends of ours in Buffalo! Then he will play and after his concerts I am going to visit Zsolt Bognàr and perhaps give an interview for his show in Pittsbourgh and Cleveland and in NYC I will meet other musician-friends!
Of course I am always happy to meet supporters! So I will be looking forward to seeing you there! Thanks for everything, Andrea
Very interesting interview. Lots of youthful enthusiasm and knowledge on both sides - which is what one likes to see! Sasha mentioned Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky and of course one mustn't forget that for all the jazz influences in his music Gershwin was the son of Russian immigrants, so there's a kind of genetic connection to a Russian musical and pianistic tradition.
Thank you for your words, thank you for watching and thank you for subscribing, Tim!
@@andreacicalese It's a matter of great regret that Sasha has been all over the world but has never played in the UK. I was in correspondence with his mother a couple of years ago and she said that he would love to come to London but has not so far been invited. I've written to the director of the BBC Proms because I think Sasha would be a wow with the audience at the annual Promenade Concerts, but I have had no response.🙁
@@Andronicus surely that would be incredible and it is good to be active! Thank you again for watching!
@@andreacicalese How very extraordinary! By coincidence I've just been sent details of the second half of the International Concert Series at the Anvil, Basingstoke, near me. Lo and behold Sasha is due to play Rachmaninov 2 with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under Kirill Karabits! Excellent news!
Love the interview and the incredible artistry of Alexa, I was really learned a lot from you. You brought out more humaness and understanding of things from both perspectives. Bravo.
Woooooooow...🙏❤
Alexander Malofeev is the new Van Cliburn - Horowitz ----- truly the greatest pianist we have today.
A wonderful musician. I had the pleasure to share the stage with him. You can check that out as latest video on my channel :)
Agree.
I am a recent American fan of Alexander Malofeev. Why do people often refer to Alexander as "Sasha"?
It is anabbriviation from Alexander in the Russian language🙌
Sasha!! The salmon pink hoodie really suits you.....
But....on a sunny day,in that top,from the right distance....
....you could easily be mistaken for an ice cream.
In that event,anything could happen.
Thank you for watching!
GREAT
Wow❤
He is a good pianist 👍👍👍
Good pianist ??? 🤣🤣🤣you mean the best Pianist at the moment.
First time have heard Alexander named also 'Sacha'. Is there some Russian tradition here of naming? ~ And lovely engagement between two young musicians. Thank you from UK
Hello from Germany! Thank you for you words! "Sasha", in Russian, is another way of calling people Alexander or Alexandra. See it as kind of an abbriviation. When I met Alexander for the first time, he told me to call him "Sasha" and so I did🙌
First time I could really understand Malofeev so it was an excellent interview. What or which performers does Polyphonic generally interview?
Hello! I appreciate your comment! This was my first interview! I am planning on talking to other well known soloists! One little correction: it is called "POLYPHONIX".
@@andreacicalese nice response. My phone spell corrects wrongly sorry.
For first interview.. terrific. Bye bye.
Love the unabashed enthusiasm, dude. I think if you can keep at it, you will be able to carve out a decent audience for yourself. Keep it up :)
I would like more the interwiew with subtitles behind.It was interesting though.
I will try! If you need them in Russian, they exsist on the russian fanpage of Malofeev!
@@andreacicalese I need them in english or in spanish.Since now many thanks.
Dear Andrea: Thank you for this wonderful interview with Alexander Maloveev who at his young age has already become a keyboard giant. I question your comment about Oscar Peterson however, since it is my understanding he practiced 10 hrs a day when he was a young man in Toronto Canada. Would love to see you interview Ivan Bessonov and have you heard Yoav Levanon play Kapustins Concert Etude #1? ua-cam.com/video/nj1G81ZJBuQ/v-deo.html
Dear Carl, thank you for your compliments! Perhaps the interview with legend Oscar Peterson that I saw was from when he was older. Of course at some point he needed to practice a lot to learn how to play like this. Or perhaps I just said something that is not correct. Thank you for this link!
How did the audience receive this performance of the concerto?
It was a concert in Moscow, it is on UA-cam (link in description) and I reviewed it now!
Have you considered interviewing the Brothers Bassonov or Rutgar Garecht?
For the Bassonov brothers, I would like to see you collaborate, that would be sublime! I suspect they might enjoy it very much as well.
I will consider it, thanks for watching!
Sasha and Andrea, please perform Medtner 3rd violin sonata :-)
Gershwin is the best 👍👍👍
He really is!
Great interview .l loved the interplay between the two..
UN PEDIDO ESPECIAL, CUANDO EDITES LOS VIDEOS, PONELE EL TRADUCTOR, PUES EN MI CASO NO SE INGLES, (SE UNICAMENTE EL ESPAÑOL) Y ME PIERDO TODO.GRACIAS
This is a very interesting interview - it's great to hear young people talking so intelligently about classical music in a world which is so dominated nowadays by pop, and your channel is fascinating - I have now subscribed to it. I only discovered Malofeev quite recently, and am hugely impressed by his technical ability and great musicality. I hope you don't mind, but I would just like to use this comment to recommend a wonderful concerto by the British composer Arthur Bliss which really should be better known - it was written for and premiered with great success in 1939 for the great pianist Solomon, and I think Alexander could play it magnificently! It is in a sort of 'modern romantic' style which is not so far from Rachmaninov and other composers that he plays regularly. Perhaps you could bring it to his attention? I would so love to hear/see him play it. You can hear it and see the score here: ua-cam.com/video/eWp0EYO29wg/v-deo.html
Hi! Thanks for the many compliments for me and for the dear Sasha! I will see what I can do about the score!
Andrea
@@andreacicalese have a listen and see if you think it's good? I think it's great! :-) I would be interested in your opinion.
Sem legenda em português 😔
If someone told me you were Evgeny Kissin’s son, I’d believe them. You speak and look like him lol
Well that would be awesome🤣
Are there any videos of these two playing together? I would much prefer to listen to their music than their talking. When they get to 60 years old that is the time to talk about music which is always boring.
Haha! We performed in Buffalo, NY our chamber music debut. It was livestreamed. Follow my Instagram @andrea_violinist for some clips:)
That's Gershwin, not Gerschwin.
I must have mistyped! Thank you!
Well spotted
Well done Andrea! Great interview and insights. Such a pleasure to listen and watch you. Looking forward your next one! Cheers
Thank you so much! I am looking forward myself! Cheers!
