Thanks to Mikhail Pletnev and his unique gift, the works of Sergei Rachmaninov acquired a new meaning, colors and sounded even more attractive. . .Is - his divine freedom that so much admires us and gives us a sense of touch to eternity !
Pletnev surprises me and moves me with his enormous talent and brilliant interpretation of music. He shows me how to sing with piano, I could even hear an angelic voice singing poems. BRAVO PLETNEV💐💐💐💐💐💐
Гений нашего времени!Это как смотришь фильм 3D ,объемность,как будто находишься внутри музыки,человек-оркестр!Будто не один пианист играет,какие пласты бесконечности открываются, как в космосе побывал,во вселенной,горизонталь,и конечно-чувства!!Желаю крепкого здоровья Михаилу Плетневу!
Не знаю, прочитаете ли Вы мой ответ, но так хотелось! Вы написали "человек - оркестр". Я же хотела сказать: Плетнёв текст для фоно рассматриваете партитуру оркестра. У него нет правой - левой руки! Каждый палец, кисть , ладонь обретают свою партию. Поэтому музыкальный текст воспринимается, как полотно, а Плетнёв как дирижёр собирает каждую ноту, встраивает ее в пространство. Как он заканчивает игру!!!! Своим кулачком смахивает с клавиатуры все звуки как карты, зажимает их и поднимает вверх, ставит точку. Как я рада Вашему комментарию. Я не одна!!!! А перед Плетневым все расступаться должны. Герой!!!!
Потрясающе!!! Сражена!!! Михаил Васильевич говорит с нами звуками на понятном для каждой души языке. Как такое возможно???!!! Браво!!! Нужны какие-то другие слова, но потрясена исполнением, нахожусь под впечатлением, не могу подобрать слова, чтобы более полно выразить моё восхищение.
Глубочайшее проникновение в ткань рахманиновских глубин, и потрясающий, трагический, и, одновременно, светлый гений исполнителя. Браво, Михаил Васильевич!
I’ve heard Pletnev play this program in Amsterdam Concertgebouw. I heard much of what he played from other pianists but still: it was like hearing it for the first time. I will never forget it, it was hypnotic from minute one all the way to the end. As we say in Dutch, ‘als aan de grond genageld’. Many thanks for the upload.
Yes, of course, the world of Pletnev, his inner universe is hopelessly tragic. But, at the same time, we feel joy, because these tragedies and hopelessness are expressed by Pletnev with divine freedom! It is his divine freedom that so much admires us and gives us a sense of touch to Eternity!
I wouldn't exaggerate saying, that by Pletnev's playing we learn Rakhmaninov from the point ,almost none of us thought before. Suddenly you start to get, that all that was written by musicologists about him ( devotion to homeland , he had to part with when Bolsheviks came , bell - ringing in his music, etc. ) doesn't really touch the main theme of his life - and that's relationship with the Death. It sounds strange at first glance , but his happy childhood , followed by world fame both as a composer and a pianist, was a big contrast to what was probably his inner world. By friends we know , Rakhmaninov was a kind of person , who was very easily depressed. Any light disease made him think he would never recover , and any slight misfortune in work made him feel he would never write anything anymore. And probably at these moments the bells of happy childhood ( the time he spent with grandma in Novgorod ) suddenly became those of Dies irae. Being very honest and morally pure man (sometimes too much ) he believed the bell would toll one day and he would get punished for all the bad things he made. I won't exaggerate if I say that all of this we hear in playing of neither of pianists , but Pletnev.....
Dear Vova Hrenov, Rachmaninov's friend, wonderful musicologist Leonid Sabaneev writes (I translate from Russian, do not blame me for the translation): www.e-reading.club/chapter.php/93162/22/Sabaneev_-_Vospominanie_o_Rossii.html "Rachmaninov lived a brilliant life, substantial, long and happy. Very few musicians can boast of such luck, accompanying Rachmaninoff from his youth to the grave. Still a young man, before he could get off the conservatory bench, he was already known, popular, and kindly treated by Tchaikovsky himself. His first works were greeted enthusiastically, and by the time he was twenty years old he had become a favorite of the public and criticism - he saw the successor of Tchaikovsky, who had just left. Soon he added to this the laurels of a first-class pianist and a remarkable conductor. By the time of his departure from Russia, he was, in fact, the most beloved and popular composer of his own, then the younger generation and the most popular pianist. And ahead of him still waited world glory, triumphs and honor. He was rich and family happy ... And yet, with all this, Rachmaninoff is a tragic figure. Exactly some constant gloomy shadow overshadowed this brilliant, successful life. He was in the depths of his completed type of pessimist - another trait that related him to Tchaikovsky, who in his life still had more grounds for pessimism. Taciturn and reserved, not that secretive, but never saying what could not be said, he seemed to be possessing some sort of psychic drama. And his music is one of the most sincere music in all musical literature, the only area where he "let out" - this music is perhaps the most gloomy in the world. Above his work hung a color of some gloomy splendor, as if he constantly performs some solemn funeral rites. Let us recall a series of his main creations, the milestones of his creative path: Prelude cis-moll, Second Concerto, where funeral rhythms sound from the very beginning. Third Concerto, Tchaikovsky's Trio (there is already a funeral in the title), "The Island of the Dead", "The Bells" is his favorite work, where the funeral outcome of the world outlook is already clear. In his creations, the funeral melody "Dies irae" occurs five times - this did not happen to any composer. In his works, not a single smile, not one real moment of merriment - there is neither irony nor humor, which illuminated Mussorgsky's intrinsically gloomy work". I believe that the current structure of Pletnev's inner universe is close to that described above ...
Такой объемный звук только у Плетнева! Рахманинов у него звучит предельно трагично, его игра доходит до глубины души, и давно знакомые произведения трогают до слез! Спасибо гениальному музыканту за это! Живите долго- долго, Михаил Васильевич!
I've never heard it like he played it. The ending with the descending thirds is supposed to be played fortissimo, but he does mezzo-forte into fortissimo. I kind of like it! It gives the piece a sense of being incomplete. It is the first piece of a collection, so it makes sense!
He’s got the romantic feel for sure. A revelation! He doesn’t let the bar lines get in the way of the musical idea. I wonder what Rachmaninov would say about his interpretation? I love it!!

Indeed. Most are either unable due to lack of tasteful musicality, or they only dare to do middle of the road interpretations. It's boring. After Pletnev not much compares.
Unfortunately his 39/7 goes in much contra the score. Some of his 'innovations' are rather interesting, but the most actually not. They just don't make sense. Especially the treatment of tempo which is oscillating half the time. I cannot follow his thought there, it isn't logical to me.
Like medieval history like Vikings can appreciate boat builders and fortitude as well as Games of Thrones costume drama time travel simulation. Like Sonatas and Nocturnes Stephen Sondheim A Little Night Music. Play brilliantly beautiful melodies
The performance is incredible. But the sound recording has a very big flaw: The loudness remains always at one level. Some very stupid algorithms increase or decrease the volume, and so is everything flat. I don´t know if the problem is the recording device or youtube. This is a crime against the instrument, the interpretation, the pianist and of course the composer
@@steveegallo3384 You may be right. So go to live concerts when you can. Use 33rpm records when that fails. Only rely on You Tube type playbacks to find out what the notes may have been.

Прекрасный перевод и прекрасно сказано........
For me Michail Pletnev's interpretations are underdone. His music, when listening to Rachmaninov or Saint-Saens, is erratic, without any concept.
Потрясающе, я восхищён, браво!

I am ashamed of having underrated Rachmaninoff till I listended to this. Especially the last piece is sublime.
Just because all that you listened to by now wasn't Rachmaninov. Only Pletnev and Horowitz know how to play this music.

Non ci sono parole...

when Pletnev is in the mood he is superb. I disagree with the philosophy that everything a pianist does is either superb or mediocre.

there is no 'brutal passion' in his playing, some parts sound unhealthy, rather small sound.

This is not a music of brutal passion , but tragedy , going throughout his (Rachmaninov's) life
