This is a master of his art. No need for flashy hysterical gestures....pure tone and clarity in its simplest form. Almost as if there is no effort involved.
Before you read what I'm about to say, I am a HUGE Pletnev fan. I grew up with his (and Gavrilov's) astonishing recordings. I checked in and listened to the second concerto first. What is he doing? All the notes are there - he makes them look so easy and, as anyone who plays this work knows, they are not easy to play. But where is the excitement? The drive? The musicality? It is like watching a perfectly programmed robot go through the motions and play the notes with absolutely no feeling whatsoever. Pletnev is known for his cold impassive demeanor when playing but this is off the scale
Thank you Maestro Pletnev!!!

Very well plays Victor Eresko with Provatorov, and of course Rach himself with Stokowski.

Да уж, очень трудно и натужно. А кому сейчас легко?
Безбожно врёт ноты, и играет эмоционально, как вяленая селёдка. Пора бутсы на гвоздь.
