    The orchestra sounded amazing. The videographer took so much care to showcase each and every performer and you can see how much of their heart and soul went into it. Moreover, it is blatantly obvious how passionate Alexander is while performing and how proud he is of his brilliance at the end of each and every performance. He is so talented and flawless; a true honor to witness. I am so looking forward to the years ahead of listening to him perform. This young man is deserving of all God’s blessings.

      Yes, agree. As to the video recording, the Frankfurt orchestra has for quite some time, been paying virtually as much attention to video direction as they do to audio recording. Many orchestras have full video/audio production facilities.

      Malofeev is not only brilliant, as you've already noticed, he's very modest and humble. He is not proud of his performance, I believe, he's merely enjoying the moment as a little kid. Not that there's anything wrong with being proud of yourself, he just never showed that quality in previous performances or interviews.

    Under Alexander's hands, Rachmaninoff's masterpiece becomes a prophecy of our times. Here is every human emotion; furious rage at the madness and horrors of futile war; grief and unashamed tears for its helpless victims; despair that such evil should dishonour a country so loved. But here too are dreams of home and longing for loved ones and memories of laughter and smiling faces. Then, breaking through, again and again, is a rising crescendo of determination and hopefulness, heralding a bright and peaceful, joyous future. Alexander, you have bared your soul for us in this piece - and we are with you, brother.

    When an artist with this technical accuracy competence and flair, tells you something new about a piece with which you have lived for over 45 years, then you know you are witnessing the performance of a maestro. It is not simply that this is a bravura performance, it is. But the nuance, subtlety, shades, variation in tempi, the brilliance of articulation, the lyricism, the sparkling right and left hands, the passion, musicality and the respect for the instrument, obtaining whatever level of volume he requires without being in danger of damaging the piano (unlike another more senior Russian pianist whose allure is as big a mystery as the sex of the Loch Ness Monster) are breathtaking And yet he proves his artistry is on another level - injecting new ideas, new thoughts and evoking novel emotions and appreciation in the listener. This was the greatness of Horowitz. And here that spirit is given life again - One could cite very many examples in the first movement - but, for me, the almost catalcysmic cascade which introduces the second movement before resolution to that beautiful lyrical theme - only to be followed by more articulated darkness again resolved to lyric beauty - is picked out with extraordinary artistic vision.
    Open mouthed in awe and appreciation.

Impeccable technique, marvelous phrasing, unbelievable energy and transcendent delicateness, and the passion only a Russian can have for this music.

    The last time I listened to Alex playing this I had to stop at the cadenza. It was too much to handle! Enormous power - violent actually - and so free with the rhythm as to pull it almost totally out of shape. I persevered this time although I still found it really hard to cope with: it tore me to pieces! I love the rest of the movement. He is able to bring out a vast array of nuance - dancing, passion, lightness and profound heaviness - and the orchestra was responding. I love the way he plays the beginning and ending. Almost empty. The cadenza was likely a gigantic mountain and I think the composer himself would have wondered what he had created there! I will probably need to write more when I have listened to the rest of the concerto. Alex isn´t just a pianist. He asks much more of his music than that

I respect his playing too much to say that I "did not like it!" but I enjoyed so much the way that he played it on his first performance of this concerto and was so bitterly disappointed when I heard the performance that I mentioned in my post.

The ovation went on for 20minutes. But to your point, the audience was reserved for whatever reason, not even rhythmic applause.

    There are huge number of recordings of this concerto -- This is the best. Alexander gave everything, he expressed Rachmaninoff's Music in a fascinating way full of color, technique and virtuosity.
    He generates an incredible energy in the faster passages Alternately, the softer passages show a tender, vulnerable side that most pianists do not achieve. His cadenza is full of confident, powerful, yet humble pianism. It was in the slow movement that he showed stunning poetic feeling wedded with an awe-inspiring virtuosity. What most impressed me is his incredible ability to play intensely and elegantly. Alexander's maturity, sense of phrasing, balance, and direction are out of this world, playing like this at such a young age it's just amazing.

      His progression from age 10 is all here on UA-cam to watch. The first few years you can see that he's having great fun banging on all the keys at the right times. Between age 12 and 14 or so he quickly learns to pay attention to phrasing, voicing, dynamics...by 16 he knows exactly what he wants to say and how he wants to say it, and has mastered stretching and compressing time, capturing the audience in that web.... from about 18 on he seems to experiment at times with showmanship, but it's just another tool in his toolkit to use or put away.
