Всё они распознали, услышали и ........ уничтожили. И сейчас пытаются скрыть и уничтожить память о нём. Эти фарисеи увидели в нём угрозу для себя, своих учеников, для своего уютного, комфортного и обжитого мира, где всё заранее предопределено, известно, установлено и предписано. Как же они ничтожны перед Вечностью, в которую он ушёл и перед Светом, который он оставил.
Именно потому что распознали!! Алешин Свет ослепил их, испугал... Проявленное злодейство. До сих пор не озвученное хотя бы фактом содеянного. Музыка погрузилась в эпоху серости.
В чём преступление? Алексей стал победителем конкурса Ван Клиберна, занял второе место на конкурсе Шопена, стал известен в США, концертировал в Японии, записывался. Этого мало? В чём трагедия? В том, что Россия-матушка не признала? А на что это влияет? Россия не настолько важна в мировой культуре, как Вас там убедили.
Greatest Mephisto ever !!! just the right character (!), limitless virtuosity, boundless spirit, taste in every touch, endless beauty, total individuality, and the perfect combination of a complete disciplinary artist-pianist carrying a spontaneous, fiery, totally free-willed spirit of true genius, playing directly from his heart, soul and imagination. The ultimate communicator !! For me - Sultanov along with Martha Argerich are globally the two greatest miracles of the piano since Horowitz. It's only symbolic that Alexei won the Cliburn competition in exactly the same year of Horowitz's passing ! and it is just as symbolic that he did not survive a long life and career in a world which has long ago lost its own vision & communication with the Gods of Passion and Sincerity. Sultanov was the embodiment of that very sincerity and passion. And he was burnt in the middle right between his transcendental fire and the scandal it often prompted when meeting the academic, dreary world of phony 'experts' reigning in the current universe of music's critique & business. Yet legends like his are so rarely found and gifted to us - and they cannot die ! I believe that Sultanov's legacy is yet to inspire generations of future artists in a corrected and artistically-transformed world. It may take a few generations - but that day will come !! Thank you, dear Alexei Sultanov, for everything you have given us during your short - but so meaningful life !!! BRAVISSIMO !!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, but I hear a lot of banging in this recording. Sure the technique is there, but does he have to bang out every chord in opening section (listen around 0:40). Lots of banging around 1:37 and 2:25. 4:16 is too fast and sounds frenzied. In addition, Sultanov does some strange voicing in the un poco meno mosso section (around 5:15). It doesn't have the haunting quality that it should have. Banging at 7:03 to 7:15. 8:38 to 8:47 is a sloppy mess. Too bad he died so young (35)! William Kapell died young too (he was only 31), and he has a recording of this waltz that, I'm sorry to say, blows away Sultanov's. Kapell was all of 22 years old when he recorded it. He never bangs and he always voices to perfection: ua-cam.com/video/ofdRsvBHa14/v-deo.html
@@j.d.miller4203 There's really no arguing matters of taste but Kappel lacks that sultry tenderness in the last section before the final coda as well as kind of rushes it and then he completely alters that coda in a really odd unsatisfying way. And I think there's plenty of banging from Kappel as well. That's just the cost of triple fortes, bruh. I don't know. I'd never heard it before so thanks for providing the link. I can't say it hit me as hard as Sultanov here but it was a formidable statement. It's also difficult to compare due to the production quality. It'd be interesting if the record crackles could be minimized and a similar big hall reverb applied, what Kappel's performance would sound like. And man, both of those guys gone so young. Absolutely devastating 😢 💔 Oh, another thing about Sultanov that I and I think many others love is that he's got that controlled fury. I mean, someone else that comes to mind us Katia Buniatishvilli. That girl also plays in a really unhinged way but oftentimes it's to the point of getting way too sloppy. Like she's making a caricature out of that sort of thing. I honestly can't enjoy it at that point. Sultanov is unhinged and it can be rough around the edges but it never gets intoleraby sloppy. Not to my taste anyway. It still has integrity and a genuine spirit. But again, there's really no arguing taste. Cheers! 🙏
There are three performers at a concert. Performer 1: “I’m going to play an etude!” Performer 2: “I’m going to play a rhapsody!” Performer 3: “I’m just going to play a waltz…”
THE DESCENDING SCALES OF PARALLEL THIRDS PLAYED TWICE ARE THE CONTRIBUTION OF ALEXI-- HOW CLEVER, EVEN IF LISZT DIDN´T WRITE THEM. HE WOULD HAVE LOVED THEM.
Ah, the beauty of the interwebs. Saw a clip of this years ago on a PBS type special on that year's competition. Decided to search for it and it came up right away!
1:28 for string break 😲 You could easily say that that piano had been getting beat to death all day but the shear intensity that Sultanov brought to all of his performances in this competition (and always really), I'm surprised he didn't snap every string on the damn thing. Especially the bass. I think his left hand had a built in sub woofer or something 😎 Like, at 2:19. How the hell did he get a bass octave (the low C) to sound like that? Gott dayum 🙉
Quite simply this is THE greatest interpretation to the mephisto, I listened to andre laplante's interpretation of the piece and I was quite certain it couldn't be topped, up until I listened to the great Richter I then changed my mind, and now, THIS!!!
@@roo159 well thank you for the recomendation I definitely do not regret it listening to him. He has a very wild style yet very colorful and poetic, it was really marvelous, especially his Liszt sonata, I binge listened to many of his interpretations out there and I was upset to find out that they aren't alot and have few views (just like Sultanov unfortunately).
Недосягаемый, Абсолютнейший Гений, Алексей Султанов.
Это просто ПОТРЯСАЮЩАЯ Трактрвка и БЛЕСТЯЩЕЕ исполнение....ничего равного нет....это взрыв , вулкан, стихия Это Гениально!!!

The more you listen to Sultanov, the more you realise why people refer to someone who died so young as the greatest pianist to have ever lived.
Он ангел, посланный нам САМИМ ГОСПОДОМ!!!Жаль,,,не уберегли!!!!!!

"Banging" - this is like your OPEN enemie. "Not banging" version is... even scarier... I guess, both interpretations are possible. How do you think?

СУЛТАНОВ _ ЛУЧШИЙ!!!!!
Неповторимо, великолепно, высочайшая техника, напор!
Merveilleux pianiste.
Merveilleuse Mephisto Valse.
Merci.
Awesome! In the tradition of Horowitz, Cziffra and Argerich, Alexei is simply unsurpassed.
he is the best, most creative!!!
Самый лучший, непревзайдённый Алексей Султанов.
ЛУЧШЕЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ!!!!!!
Best pianist ever. No doubt.
❤️Genius ❤️
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did..🥀
Помним и любим ! Великий, непревзойденный !
Людмила Овчинникова Он хороший пианист, но тот же Цифра тоже на его уровне и другие пианисты
Он на уровне Горовица...
роза мимоза Его есть за что недолюбливать. Банально за его отсебятину в исполнении, или неестественные растяжения, которые нарушают ритм.
Нейгауз рекомендует немного замедлять, но потом ускорить, высший пилотаж.
Да, непревзойдённый!!!
❤️Genius!!!❤️Thanks
no questions about that!! TRUE!
There are three performers at a concert.
Performer 1: “I’m going to play an etude!”
Performer 2: “I’m going to play a rhapsody!”
Performer 3: “I’m just going to play a waltz…”
Bravo!

Yes it's a clever embellishment indeed but why are you writing in all caps?
@@Kalen1457 excitement.
actually it’s horowitz lol. he borrowed from horowitz
This should be the first video when you search Mephisto Waltz
