За плечами этого молодого «мальчика» уже десятки тысяч часов «адской» работы. Саша поцелован Б-гом, но здесь, как мне кажется, главным в его огромном таланте - это характер зрелого мужчины, мужчине, которому едва исполнилось 10-12 лет. Что я имею ввиду. Это значить отказаться от всей жизни окружающей его. Сколько родившихся талантов было, есть и будет, но только один, максимум два способны пойти на такие жертвы. Родители. Подозреваю сколько «доброжелателей; близких и дальных, соседей или просто нас - смотрящих и слушающих игру их сына. «Ах,- говорят они себе, - их сын уже обеспечил им безбедную жизнь». Эти люди, и я в том числе, даже вообразить себе не можем,- сколько труда, нервов, походов до муз школы и обратно, и многое многое другое. Главная заслуга Сашиных родителей - это то, что они смогли увидеть врождённый талант сына. Но это ещё мелочи, ибо они смогли оценить характер мальчика - способен ли он на титанический и ежедневный труд. Труд без отдыха и праздников, труд который они - родители должны будут разделить с их сыном. Это родительский подвиг. Это их ум и глубокое понимание лично своей и сына перспективы. Это то, что родители должны были взять на свою ответственность дальнейшую судьбу своего сына. Риск? Ещё какой. Дай Б-г Саше огромного здоровья и его родителям. Это банальность то, что я сейчас скажу, но на жизненном пути могут быть разные «сюрпризы» как то: физические травмы, поджидающие всех, без изъятий людей, психологические проблемы и тд и тп. Я просто не хочу и не желаю говорить о них. Бог будет всегда с Сашей, а он с ним. Все должно быть рассчитана, взвешенно и оценено. Это работа родителей и решение принятое совместно с сыном. Безусловно, там есть педагоги, другие помощники и антрепренеры которые будут давать советы. Но окончательное решение за семьей, и в первую очередь - за самим Сашей. Господи спаси и сохрани этого молодого мужа от больших потрясений и потерь. А мы, мы любим себя в первую очередь. Мы хотим получить свои порции наслаждений от игры этого Мастера. В его юные годы он смог дойти до идей великих композиторов. Без глубокого знания такого сложного предмета, без личного таланта ума, игра пианиста превращается в механические движение кистей и пальцев рук. Мне, как дилетанту в классической музыке трудно оценить, как музыкант понимает, скажем шедевры моего любимого Рахманинова, как он интерпретирует то, что Рахманинов вкладывал в свою волшебную музыку. Саша- Александр имеет своё личное прочтение автора, послушайте 2 и 3 концерты Рахманинова в исполнении этого музыканта. Это кайф, чего и вам желаю
This deserves a billion views. The world needs to appreciate classical music more and more, imho, and especially Alexander Malofeev's amazing performances. If people listen, they will be fans. How could they not be!
I'm speechless... A young blond Russian kid with God given talent. A smoking hot piano virtuoso whose music we will get to enjoy for many years to come.
Alexander Malofeev has been the child genius pianist of the 21st century and certainly he will be a great concertist and, perhaps, a great conductor and composer too... God give him benditions and talent for his entire time life!
This young man is a wonderful sunshine in this dark world. He brings hope 4 all of us. Russia is a very great country with a deep soul. With all my respect, thank very much, Maestro Malofeev
Alexander's playing scintillates - sometimes glittering, twinkling, flashing, shimmering, dazzling; and then, before you know it, you are being hunted through a dark threatening forest, or viewing a panoramic sunset having scaled a mountain in the Urals, or dancing a Cossack dance, or lying back in a deck chair and reflecting on the meaning of life, or falling in love, or having a jolly time with friends. I know this is Rachmaninoff's magic, but it is yours as well, Alexander - you transport us into his wonderful world. Thank you.
Richard Salisbury: The orchestra? Hmmm ... I don't think it's perfection (have a look at 1 min 36 secs and see what you think). Though I must say they are far more disciplined (and better generally) that the Scala orchestra with Gergiev - of all people - on Malofeev's vid of the Tchaikowsky B flat minor concerto. There is some disgraceful behaviour and poor playing there!
@@Nai61a Not picking up on what you hear at 1:36, but very shortly thereafter the woodwinds get a bit out of synch. But that doesn't bother me. (Isn't that to be expected with live recordings, i.e. those that are not engineered and reengineered until, sometimes, the life goes out of them?) The flow's the thing, and this performance flows.
Go back and listen to his first recordings with an orchestra. His description of that experience for him has been recorded in interviews with him. He is so innocent and humble in those interviews. He was so young at that time, he had to jump of his seat to produce the potent sounds needed in the pieces he began with.
I'll say here what I said on the 2nd Piano Concerto. Dislikes? Obviously they are jealous because he plays better at 17 than they do at 30. Bravo! Great performance.
Agree! An amazing...incredible actually...pianist!!

No. Some people just don't like it. Are you so arrogant in your taste in music that anyone that does not agree with you is automatically considered a dunce or jealous? Classical SNOB! If you are a reflection of listening to classical music then I don't blame people for being purposefully ignorant. SNOB!

Variation 18 must be one of the greatest works of art in History, it's unbelievable Rachmaninov got it out of Paganini's theme. Wonderful composition and beautiful interpretation here, I am completely in awe.
@Sebastian ...somewhere in these comments on this page someone told of how Rachmaninoff composed Variation 18. He was frustrated because he had run out of ideas so he flipped Paganini's music upside down and voile!! -- there he discovered something miraculous...notes leading to the now famous theme. There is also a link to a video about it. I'll see if I can find it on here, but it may take some time. ((0-0))
Rachmaninoff is the master of the slow movement. He loves toying around with 2 bar-melody that turns into 10 minutes. Tchaikovsky, on the other hand, is the king of melodies.
That's right. I've always thought that the 18th variation is the perfect example of how you can appreciate music on different levels. On the one hand, you can simply marvel and be moved by its poignant beauty. But then you discover the intellectual feat of taking a kernel of the Paganini theme and literally turning it upside down to get something totally different. And that only adds to your appreciation and awe.
This kid is nothing short of phenomenal. I've seen a few videos, and he's playing some of the toughest pieces out there. This one, Rachmaninoff's 3rd, Tchaikovsky Grieg and more. .This kid of talent in born into you. Truly amazing pianist.
@@jandejong6498 Gelukkig ik vind hier een NL-er die van Alex Malofeev houdt ! Hij werd afgezegd toen hij in Canada arriveerde en Canada kreeg een niet lief bericht van mij terug. Cultuurbarbaren !
16:05....sublime......I was close to tears......must come straight from heaven.Each and every variation though,were brilliantly executed by my absolute favourite pianist.There is,and never will be anyone to rival him.And comparisons are futile.He's one of a kind!
I recommend that individuals who have never heard this brilliant piece before in their lives have the opportunity to listen to this as their first exposure. For me it was like hearing it for the first time, though the variations have haunted me in my waking moments for a lifetime. There are no words adequate to explain the love affairs in play here: the romance between the orchestra and soloist, the rapt attention of the orchestra and soloist to the conductor, and the adroit lovemaking which the soloist performs on the keyboard. Bravo as always, Alexander, thank you for enriching our lives!
I was about to say the same things you did, Richard, but you wrote so eloquently that my words would be inadequate. I just discovered this pianist today, and listening to my favorite Rachmaninoff pieces is like discovering them again, and hearing things I might have missed before. Bravo, Alexander. The future is yours!
Would be absolutely devastating if Alex imploded under the enormous pressures of perfectionism as did dear David Helfgott (Australian concert pianist). Mental health is vitally important, particularly when not only his his own but everyone else’s expectations are so high. Hope his loved ones keep a close lookout on this dear young man. If Alex is to enjoy his life & the fruits of his hard-earned labour & we’re all to enjoy his gift, his health is paramount👍🏼💗👨🦱
Une oeuvre de génie interprétée par un jeune pianiste de génie. Merci à la Russie pour partager ses extraordinaires talents tant pour ses compositeurs que ses musiciens, n'en déplaise à la stupidité des pays qui les empêchent de s'exprimer. Quant à moi, il n'y aura pas de pouvoir humain qui pourra m'interdire de les écouter.
This stunning performance of the Rachmaninoff Paganini Variations by the phenomenally gifted sixteen year old pianist Alexander Malofeev reminds me of the composer's own approach to the instrument, yet the interpretation is very much Mr. Malofeev's own. He possesses the true gift of cantilena, perhaps the most essential quality for any artist. It is almost nonexistent today. Even at his young age he inhabits the music. No doubt Rachmaninoff is smiling down from heaven.
Bah, child worship. Talented, but not seasoned it life’s trials to put one’s musical soul out on stage. Sure phrasing dynamics and technique are all there, but he is far too young to be a “seasoned” artist.
@@praestant8 He might well agree with you; but, on the other hand, you cannot know what his "life's trials" have been like. Be assured he has had some of those -- like all the rest of human beings his age.
With all the staggeringly heinous and acutely evil occurrences in this world on a 24/7 daily..i run across talent such as these people and i have hope that having the PRIVILEGE of witnessing genius such as this might make it all worth while. My ears are so so uneducated in the academics and complexities of the musical world and yet.. Upon listening to this i am granted passage on some kind of vehicle that transports me to lands i didn't even know existed. Thank you to all involved as i am eternally grateful.
I am speechless and moved to tears listening to Alexander Malofeev. Captivating, flawless, mesmerizing are words that still don’t fully describe the brilliance of this pianist. All the more amazing that he is 16 years old when this was performed. My hope is he will tour the USA so I can someday be in the audience to hear his magic firsthand.
John Landacre I feel the same. I'm a grown man and I'm literally crying. That there can be such astounding talent and passion and beauty in the world . . . such perfection . . . such maturity and profundity, and in someone so young . . . it's hard to find the words.
Alexander was just 16 years old at this filming, performing in Italy...many miles from his homeland. What an amazing talent who loves sharing his love of music with the world!
Why doesn't this have a million views? What a masterpiece...could listen to this a hundred times and not tire of it. Bravo Alexander Malofeev and everyone!
Do people underestimate the merits of Alexander's performance because he is so young? Age is a fickle arbiter of maturity. Think what lessons children sitting homeless and parentless in the streets of bombed out Syrian towns will be learning before they are ten years old. The evidence is abundantly present in Alexander's playing that he is mature way beyond his chronological years. For which I will always be grateful. Thank you for being prepared to pay the price, Alexander.
Alexander, you are my favourite pianist this days. you have excellent sound and brilliant technique, and most important, a russian heart. hope to meet you some day. bravo
This entire performance is absolute perfection! Can't believe Alexander was just 16-yo here. Also this orchestra is fabulous. Deserves millions of views. None better!!!!
@@christophershow1398 He's got many more compositions he wants to learn. See his interview on Instagram, Living the Classical Life page. He says no time to compose right now. (I would say, never say never.)
12 transcendental studies. All in a row. Like trifonov and beresowsky. He can do it. That would be real piano prestige. But he already showed it with the rachmaninoff concertos
He played every note with such gravity and deliberation; there's something revolutionary to his pianism that can rarely be heard elsewhere. He's only a year older than me in this video; I look up to him so much as a pianist! Surely he'll be the greatest pianist of our century.
Three years ago I wrote the comment shown below (I am also nogatram1). Since then, I have listened this work performed by many wonderful pianists, past and present. Yet I have to confess that, in my view, not one of them has come close to this. Given that it flowed from the hands of a 16 year old boy, this performance is little short of miraculous. Every variation comes alive with its own life, yet the music has a cohesion and wholeness that is truly remarkable. The interplay between piano and orchestra under the baton of Myung-Whun Chung is of a richness that I have yet to hear equaled. I would wholeheartedly endorse the comment by richardpodnar5039 below that this should be newcomers' first exposure to this work. They will not be disappointed!
I don’t believe I have ever heard Variation XVIII better played than Mr. Malofeev did at this performance. And he was at this time only 16 years old. It want be long before he will equal and/or overtake Evgeny Kissin, the most prominent Russian pianist now living. When I heard his interpretation of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto #2 or 3 (sorry I can’t recall which one it was) at the tender age of 15, not only was I completely blown away, I was when hearing it again thinking he will be the next Horowitz as long as he continues to work hard. Like Horowitz, Alexander is extremely modest and unassuming. No Lang Lang here. As to his performance, Mr. Malofeev’s hands are truly magical. I don’t know whether or not the Steinway is his piano or that of the Auditorium RAI Arturo Toscanini in Torino (Turin). When he plays he becomes one with the piano. By his facial expressions one can see this trait when he plays with closed eyes. It’s not really confidence that he’s portraying although that is easy to misinterpret as such. His closed eyes are showing us he is truly ONE with the piano. It is as if his musical soul is inside the piano sitting between the sound board and the plate plucking the strings. As his human figure touches the keys, they are also magical. He plucks each key with the softest touch or with a mighty force, both as the needs dictate. He never misses a note. In fact, HE is a mighty force. Finally, he always thinks of his conductor at the podium as an equal and always gives thanks to the concertmaster for his or her performance and for the control of the orchestra. It may be a stretch, but I truly believe his talent will take him to the top of his peers (if one can be ‘atop’ one’s peers). Thani you Mr. Malofeev for bringing your revelers another exciting performance. I have two recordings of this Rachmaninoff piece and your performance will absolutely make the others grow pale in comparison. BRAVO young man. Never stop studying. Never stop practicing. Never stop remembering who you are and, more importantly, who you want to be-and never grow tired of reaching that goal. Never stop remembering your past for it will guide you to your future desires. Never ever stop your humility and humbleness. A change in any one of these can cause bumps in your road to the future OR destroy your future completely. The only way to prevent this from happening is to keep deeply focused. I know you are now focused and I believe you wish to do so forever. However, to remain focused you have to remain focused with a little time for rest and relaxation. Again and finally-BRAVO!!
Alexander is absolutely brilliant! And he is able to make the kind of music that the world desperately needs. This is a wonderful time for me to be alive.
Anytime you feel the slightest sadness about today's world, watch/listen to Sasha's absolute and so very humble contribution to today's best of humanity.,
This cannot be an easy piece to play for any of the orchestra or the pianist!! So much syncopation throughout! It's a wonderful, piece of music!! BRAVO to everyone, including the conductor! To Alexander, you're the best of the best imo!
Nothing like a musical surgeon to produce such a crisp, alive-sounding orchestra. Add our beautiful Alexander as the beating heart and you’re overwhelmed.
Kak myzykant Paganini byl virtuozom, odnako kak kompozitor-v osnovnom durakom. Hotelosy be chtoby Sasha poshyel dalyshe ne kak Paganini , a kak Rahmaninov. Vedy on byl velikolepnym pianistom v dopolneniye k svoyemu kompozitorskomu masterstvu.
The bard said it best: "What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!" Constantly amazed.
Never before have I wanted to go to Russia. Ever since I started listening to Alexander’s performances though, I’ve changed my mind so much so that now I can’t wait to watch him live. I’m really looking forward to this.
Same here,Russia is now on my bucket list!Will have to check his programme carefully to catch him there in concert!And I would love to see the Bolshoi Ballet!
@Stephanie ...where are you from? Maybe he'll be in your country. Check his website for performances. This summer/fall he's in the USA, Italy, S.Korea, and other places.
Alexander’s interview could help us to understand why he could make such brilliant performance at the young age 16. JCH: For your performance with the RT State Orchestra you have chosen a Rhapsody on the theme of Paganini by Rachmaninov. How do you see the solution of the conflict in this work? Who is the winner - light or darkness? AM: The clash of two irreconcilable elements, light and darkness, divine and earthly, does not mean the resolution of the conflict by somebody’s victory. All this is a discussion about the essence of being, about life and death. Deep psychologism threaded through all the work of Rachmaninov, and Rhapsody isn`t an exception.
Wow what an answer to this question! I always thought about this Rhapsody as mere variations, some more serious, some more joyful. The dies irae always kept me serious. Of course the interplay between the variations the changes are a great way to keep you tuned. Maybe also I got fooled by the wonderful small smile of Sacha at the very las note: like a school boy, doing what they call in French espièglerie. What a comment, Sacha, and so you play every piece you play
Henk Spierings Genius remains 99 per cent perspiration, and one per cent inspiration. The inward work ethic is a marvel. The focus is the music, not the performer, and it shows, brilliantlly.May Alexander ever be apart, and may I say, immune to, the culture of Narcissism, as he proceeds thru life.
@@bobbywimsy6741 I think that is one of the reasons people love him so much...because of his amazing humility...never forced. It's such a big part of his soul and spirit...humbleness. We should all be so humble. God bless him.
I know nothing of classical music so can't really comment on the technical side. I just know what I like watching and listening to. Ever since I came across Alexander I watch as much as I can. It is difficult for me to understand how anybody can play so brilliantly, let alone somebody of his age. I look forward to seeing lots more of Alexander and hope we may see him in the UK soon

Its called God-given talent. Something you can try but can not attain in many lifetimes of hard work. Its like a 6'7 versus a 5 foot player playing volleyball. You're born with talent, not earned.
The entire performance was nothing short of breathtaking perfection. An over the top orchestra with a top echelon conductor, and an extraordinary pianist playing a perfectly matched instrument.
Alexander, you are an heir - an exceptional one - of our beloved Russian and Ucranian pianists! They have enriched our lives and live in our hearts, even now, after having left us. God bless you! The new generation comes.
Such a flawless & emotive interpretation. I so look forward to enjoying this young man’s career trajectory with anticipated excitement & wonder. Bravo Alexander! 🧖🏼♂️👌🏼🌞 Thank you for sharing your extraordinary gift & love of music with us all over the world 🌎👨🦱🎼💗👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Have listened to multiple interpretations of this since my childhood & Alex’s version is right up there with the best. Such skill & emotive maturity for a mere 16 years young. It makes the heart smile 💓👨🦱🎼👌🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I haunted by Rachmaninoff, but I find this piece by Alexander is my favorite. It seems Alexander plays with so much positive emotion: courage, curiosity, optimism, compassion, love... the orchestra & Conductor are also GREAT. Thank you all
What I think I like best about this performance is the pianist's avoidance of too much legato -- his approach makes for a much edgier performance, which reinvigorates this old warhorse of a piece. He almost makes it seem like we're hearing the piece for the first time. And that's refreshing.
Malofeev interpreta con raccoglimento, non soltanto esegue, ma interpreta con animo, evocando lo spirito dell'autore ispirato a un tema del grande Paganini

@Gaytony Why do you ask if she's American?! Saying that is just as rude as her comment. There are millions of Americans who are very kind, giving and wonderfully loving. Just saying.
I don't know if somebody has already commented ... An infinite praise to the directors, camera operators and sound engineering. Truly a brilliant achievement! Bravo!
Lo más bonito que he oído en mi vida. Bendito sea Dios, que existen y han existido compositores, tan brillantes, enamorados y geniales. Que interpretación de este joven, es maravilloso.
Alexander is 21 now and due to circumstances he lives in Berlin since Spring 2022. Was good meeting him in Amsterdam in Oct. 2022. Wishing him all love and happiness forever.🌷🌷🌷
Сашенька, ты крупный молодец. Сыграл классно. Браво. Не видел тебя после 1-го Концерта Чайковского. Ты повзрослел и похорошел. Физически стал сильнее и это чувствуется в нынешней манере твоего исполнительского искусства. Не сомневаюсь, что услышу еще много хороших произведений в твоем исполнении. Радуешь своим талантом пианиста и исполнительским мастерством. Удачи тебе и до новых встреч.
Alexander, there is no doubt in my mind that you will truly achieved your dream. I have never, ever, seen anything like your love for your craft. You are a gift to the world, and through your music, happiness and healing are found. God bless you in all you do❤

@@Boshy666 Talent is born. The other comment is true. Greetings to you from the Netherlands!
@@jandejong6498 Gelukkig ik vind hier een NL-er die van Alex Malofeev houdt ! Hij werd afgezegd toen hij in Canada arriveerde en Canada kreeg een niet lief bericht van mij terug. Cultuurbarbaren !
16:05....sublime......I was close to tears......must come straight from heaven.Each and every variation though,were brilliantly executed by my absolute favourite pianist.There is,and never will be anyone to rival him.And comparisons are futile.He's one of a kind!
I recommend that individuals who have never heard this brilliant piece before in their lives have the opportunity to listen to this as their first exposure. For me it was like hearing it for the first time, though the variations have haunted me in my waking moments for a lifetime. There are no words adequate to explain the love affairs in play here: the romance between the orchestra and soloist, the rapt attention of the orchestra and soloist to the conductor, and the adroit lovemaking which the soloist performs on the keyboard. Bravo as always, Alexander, thank you for enriching our lives!
I was about to say the same things you did, Richard, but you wrote so eloquently that my words would be inadequate. I just discovered this pianist today, and listening to my favorite Rachmaninoff pieces is like discovering them again, and hearing things I might have missed before. Bravo, Alexander. The future is yours!
Richard Podnar But make sure you stay to the end.
... i ' ve made a similar comment ... and with details . i ' m not aware where it is . i fullj agree . it is the best version i know .
... and ALEXANER PLAYS so FLAWLESSLY . in INTERPRETATION and TECHNIQUE .
Brilliant comment!
Would be absolutely devastating if Alex imploded under the enormous pressures of perfectionism as did dear David Helfgott (Australian concert pianist). Mental health is vitally important, particularly when not only his his own but everyone else’s expectations are so high. Hope his loved ones keep a close lookout on this dear young man. If Alex is to enjoy his life & the fruits of his hard-earned labour & we’re all to enjoy his gift, his health is paramount👍🏼💗👨🦱
Une oeuvre de génie interprétée par un jeune pianiste de génie. Merci à la Russie pour partager ses extraordinaires talents tant pour ses compositeurs que ses musiciens, n'en déplaise à la stupidité des pays qui les empêchent de s'exprimer. Quant à moi, il n'y aura pas de pouvoir humain qui pourra m'interdire de les écouter.
Thank goodness the USA has continued to have Alexander perform here! And he's coming back, I think in October to Buffalo, NY.
This stunning performance of the Rachmaninoff Paganini Variations by the phenomenally gifted sixteen year old pianist Alexander Malofeev reminds me of the composer's own approach to the instrument, yet the interpretation is very much Mr. Malofeev's own. He possesses the true gift of cantilena, perhaps the most essential quality for any artist. It is almost nonexistent today. Even at his young age he inhabits the music. No doubt Rachmaninoff is smiling down from heaven.
AGREE!!!!
Bah, child worship. Talented, but not seasoned it life’s trials to put one’s musical soul out on stage. Sure phrasing dynamics and technique are all there, but he is far too young to be a “seasoned” artist.
@@praestant8 Would you hear this if you didn't know who was playing. Or have you reach the stage where you know so much you can enjoy anything?
Ok dude
@@praestant8 He might well agree with you; but, on the other hand, you cannot know what his "life's trials" have been like. Be assured he has had some of those -- like all the rest of human beings his age.
Nothing feels better to listen to a brilliant Russian pianist playing brilliant music by Russian composer now. Bravo!
With all the staggeringly heinous and acutely evil occurrences in this world on a 24/7 daily..i run across talent such as these people and i have hope that having the PRIVILEGE of witnessing genius such as this might make it all worth while. My ears are so so uneducated in the academics and complexities of the musical world and yet..
Upon listening to this i am granted passage on some kind of vehicle that transports me to lands i didn't even know existed.
Thank you to all involved as i am eternally grateful.
He has a bright future. Very Russian performance!
Very mature , Olympic performance !
I am speechless and moved to tears listening to Alexander Malofeev. Captivating, flawless, mesmerizing are words that still don’t fully describe the brilliance of this pianist. All the more amazing that he is 16 years old when this was performed. My hope is he will tour the USA so I can someday be in the audience to hear his magic firsthand.
John Landacre I feel the same. I'm a grown man and I'm literally crying. That there can be such astounding talent and passion and beauty in the world . . . such perfection . . . such maturity and profundity, and in someone so young . . . it's hard to find the words.
He will be in Ft Worth on Sept 28 weekend for three performances with the Ft Worth Symphony. I’m told tickets won’t go on sale till mid July . .
@@dianaswedlund8641 Those should go like crazy. This kid is awesome.
@@dianaswedlund8641 Ft Worth?? How lucky they are??
@@dianaswedlund8641 Canceled like everything due to COVID-1984.
Alexander was just 16 years old at this filming, performing in Italy...many miles from his homeland. What an amazing talent who loves sharing his love of music with the world!
🙊speechless !!! He's incredibly amazing !!! Marvelous !!! 😍💜🥁🐉🎤🎵🎶💞
@HolyMoses I guess we are the happy few here. We got a priceless present from Alexander and we still do in 2022 !
Why doesn't this have a million views? What a masterpiece...could listen to this a hundred times and not tire of it. Bravo Alexander Malofeev and everyone!
Do people underestimate the merits of Alexander's performance because he is so young? Age is a fickle arbiter of maturity. Think what lessons children sitting homeless and parentless in the streets of bombed out Syrian towns will be learning before they are ten years old. The evidence is abundantly present in Alexander's playing that he is mature way beyond his chronological years. For which I will always be grateful. Thank you for being prepared to pay the price, Alexander.
Alexander, you are my favourite pianist this days. you have excellent sound and brilliant technique, and most important, a russian heart. hope to meet you some day. bravo
This entire performance is absolute perfection! Can't believe Alexander was just 16-yo here. Also this orchestra is fabulous. Deserves millions of views. None better!!!!
Just stunning! Greetings from New Zealand.
It's hard for me to imagine what's left for this young man to accomplish. Incredible pianism in a person so young. Bravo!
All he to do is to start composing
@@christophershow1398 He's got many more compositions he wants to learn. See his interview on Instagram, Living the Classical Life page. He says no time to compose right now. (I would say, never say never.)
Just wait 10 more years. If Sasha can maintain his humility and dedication that long, he will be the world's top pianist.
12 transcendental studies. All in a row. Like trifonov and beresowsky. He can do it. That would be real piano prestige. But he already showed it with the rachmaninoff concertos
He played every note with such gravity and deliberation; there's something revolutionary to his pianism that can rarely be heard elsewhere. He's only a year older than me in this video; I look up to him so much as a pianist! Surely he'll be the greatest pianist of our century.
Three years ago I wrote the comment shown below (I am also nogatram1). Since then, I have listened this work performed by many wonderful pianists, past and present. Yet I have to confess that, in my view, not one of them has come close to this. Given that it flowed from the hands of a 16 year old boy, this performance is little short of miraculous. Every variation comes alive with its own life, yet the music has a cohesion and wholeness that is truly remarkable. The interplay between piano and orchestra under the baton of Myung-Whun Chung is of a richness that I have yet to hear equaled. I would wholeheartedly endorse the comment by richardpodnar5039 below that this should be newcomers' first exposure to this work. They will not be disappointed!
Exquisite and incomparable. True genius. Rachmaninoff has never sounded better !
I don’t believe I have ever heard Variation XVIII better played than Mr. Malofeev did at this performance. And he was at this time only 16 years old. It want be long before he will equal and/or overtake Evgeny Kissin, the most prominent Russian pianist now living. When I heard his interpretation of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto #2 or 3 (sorry I can’t recall which one it was) at the tender age of 15, not only was I completely blown away, I was when hearing it again thinking he will be the next Horowitz as long as he continues to work hard. Like Horowitz, Alexander is extremely modest and unassuming. No Lang Lang here.
As to his performance, Mr. Malofeev’s hands are truly magical. I don’t know whether or not the Steinway is his piano or that of the Auditorium RAI Arturo Toscanini in Torino (Turin). When he plays he becomes one with the piano. By his facial expressions one can see this trait when he plays with closed eyes. It’s not really confidence that he’s portraying although that is easy to misinterpret as such. His closed eyes are showing us he is truly ONE with the piano. It is as if his musical soul is inside the piano sitting between the sound board and the plate plucking the strings. As his human figure touches the keys, they are also magical. He plucks each key with the softest touch or with a mighty force, both as the needs dictate. He never misses a note. In fact, HE is a mighty force.
Finally, he always thinks of his conductor at the podium as an equal and always gives thanks to the concertmaster for his or her performance and for the control of the orchestra. It may be a stretch, but I truly believe his talent will take him to the top of his peers (if one can be ‘atop’ one’s peers). Thani you Mr. Malofeev for bringing your revelers another exciting performance. I have two recordings of this Rachmaninoff piece and your performance will absolutely make the others grow pale in comparison. BRAVO young man. Never stop studying. Never stop practicing. Never stop remembering who you are and, more importantly, who you want to be-and never grow tired of reaching that goal. Never stop remembering your past for it will guide you to your future desires. Never ever stop your humility and humbleness. A change in any one of these can cause bumps in your road to the future OR destroy your future completely. The only way to prevent this from happening is to keep deeply focused. I know you are now focused and I believe you wish to do so forever. However, to remain focused you have to remain focused with a little time for rest and relaxation.
Again and finally-BRAVO!!
Do not compare Horowitz with other pianists. Horowitz is completely different.
Thank you, Alexander, for sharing your hard work and amazing talent with us. God bless.
Alexander is absolutely brilliant! And he is able to make the kind of music that the world desperately needs. This is a wonderful time for me to be alive.
Anytime you feel the slightest sadness about today's world, watch/listen to Sasha's absolute and so very humble contribution to today's best of humanity.,
This is the first time I've witnessed talent as a fountain at such a young age....extraordinary !!
This cannot be an easy piece to play for any of the orchestra or the pianist!! So much syncopation throughout! It's a wonderful, piece of music!! BRAVO to everyone, including the conductor! To Alexander, you're the best of the best imo!
Nothing like a musical surgeon to produce such a crisp, alive-sounding orchestra. Add our beautiful Alexander as the beating heart and you’re overwhelmed.
He is fantastic pianist.. As he gets older and matures, he will become an extraordinary artist.

15:48 simply beautiful. This immense amount of talent is from heaven itself. I’m so grateful I get to enjoy it here.
The bard said it best:
"What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason!
how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how
express and admirable! in action how like an angel!
in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the
world! the paragon of animals!"
Constantly amazed.
And: If music be the fruit of love, play on Alexander!!
Never before have I wanted to go to Russia. Ever since I started listening to Alexander’s performances though, I’ve changed my mind so much so that now I can’t wait to watch him live. I’m really looking forward to this.
Same here,Russia is now on my bucket list!Will have to check his programme carefully to catch him there in concert!And I would love to see the Bolshoi Ballet!
@Stephanie ...where are you from? Maybe he'll be in your country. Check his website for performances. This summer/fall he's in the USA, Italy, S.Korea, and other places.
alexander, i respect and admire you for you talent, and I love you !
Alexander’s interview could help us to understand why he could make such brilliant performance at the young age 16.
JCH: For your performance with the RT State Orchestra you have chosen a Rhapsody on the theme of Paganini by Rachmaninov. How do you see the solution of the conflict in this work? Who is the winner - light or darkness?
AM: The clash of two irreconcilable elements, light and darkness, divine and earthly, does not mean the resolution of the conflict by somebody’s victory. All this is a discussion about the essence of being, about life and death. Deep psychologism threaded through all the work of Rachmaninov, and Rhapsody isn`t an exception.
Wow what an answer to this question!
I always thought about this Rhapsody as mere variations, some more serious, some more joyful. The dies irae always kept me serious.
Of course the interplay between the variations the changes are a great way to keep you tuned.
Maybe also I got fooled by the wonderful small smile of Sacha at the very las note:
like a school boy, doing what they call in French espièglerie.
What a comment, Sacha, and so you play every piece you play
Wow what an answer
Genius. With a lot of hard work. Excellent.
He himself has commented that it's too early to call him a genius. Perhaps he is right?
Henk Spierings Genius remains 99 per cent perspiration, and one per cent inspiration. The inward work ethic is a marvel. The focus is the music, not the performer, and it shows, brilliantlly.May Alexander ever be apart, and may I say, immune to, the culture of Narcissism, as he proceeds thru life.
@@bobbywimsy6741 I think that is one of the reasons people love him so much...because of his amazing humility...never forced. It's such a big part of his soul and spirit...humbleness. We should all be so humble. God bless him.
I know nothing of classical music so can't really comment on the technical side. I just know what I like watching and listening to. Ever since I came across Alexander I watch as much as I can. It is difficult for me to understand how anybody can play so brilliantly, let alone somebody of his age. I look forward to seeing lots more of Alexander and hope we may see him in the UK soon
Its called God-given talent. Something you can try but can not attain in many lifetimes of hard work. Its like a 6'7 versus a 5 foot player playing volleyball. You're born with talent, not earned.
Děkuji za výjimečný hudební čin, úžasný talent, výborné pedagogické vedení.❤❤🌹🌹👍🏾
I appreciate the way the orchestra and the conductor respect him for the artist he is. I had to remind myself to breathe.
The entire performance was nothing short of breathtaking perfection. An over the top orchestra with a top echelon conductor, and an extraordinary pianist playing a perfectly matched instrument.
Alexander, you are an heir - an exceptional one - of our beloved Russian and Ucranian pianists! They have enriched our lives and live in our hearts, even now, after having left us. God bless you! The new generation comes.
A pianist with a great future ahead of him. Bravo!
Оторваться невозможно! Просто завораживает!! Саша,тысячу раз браво!!! Оркестр великолепный,прекрасный ансамбль с солистом!
Such a flawless & emotive interpretation. I so look forward to enjoying this young man’s career trajectory with anticipated excitement & wonder. Bravo Alexander! 🧖🏼♂️👌🏼🌞 Thank you for sharing your extraordinary gift & love of music with us all over the world 🌎👨🦱🎼💗👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Beautiful how the Italian musicians are under fire giving this young musician always support and guidance! Bravo!
This young man thoroughly loves what he’s doing a,
Have listened to multiple interpretations of this since my childhood & Alex’s version is right up there with the best. Such skill & emotive maturity for a mere 16 years young. It makes the heart smile 💓👨🦱🎼👌🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank You from Poland ! This was amazing... Great, great interpretation !
I like how serious he is.

Excellent artist, the music flows in him and from him, you are really good, Alexander!
Саша, спасибо, очень понравилось ! Вы блестящий пианист, желаю удачи во всем !
I haunted by Rachmaninoff, but I find this piece by Alexander is my favorite. It seems Alexander plays with so much positive emotion: courage, curiosity, optimism, compassion, love... the orchestra & Conductor are also GREAT. Thank you all
What I think I like best about this performance is the pianist's avoidance of too much legato -- his approach makes for a much edgier performance, which reinvigorates this old warhorse of a piece. He almost makes it seem like we're hearing the piece for the first time. And that's refreshing.
so , i see ...
Wish I had your ear and knowledge. Seriously.
YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF SO WELL ! VERBALIZE ... in a CLEAR WAY with a SOLID CONTENT .
... ja , avoiding unconsciouslj the legato ... so interesting !
--- the AVOIDANCE of LEGATOS LEAVE the PIECE MORE TRANSPARENT . ALSO the CONDUCTOR ...
Terrifyingly brilliant!
Как вырос Александр! Так исполнять этот шедевр! До конца слушал затаив дыхание. И качество записи отличное. Спасибо! Браво Саша! Успехов тебе!
Malofeev interpreta con raccoglimento, non soltanto esegue, ma interpreta con animo, evocando lo spirito dell'autore ispirato a un tema del grande Paganini

Gaytony probably, and Janet is probably a Karen
@@janetsmith2600 Janet, that was quite rude for you to say that. Just saying. Maybe apologize?
@Gaytony Why do you ask if she's American?! Saying that is just as rude as her comment. There are millions of Americans who are very kind, giving and wonderfully loving. Just saying.
I don't know if somebody has already commented ... An infinite praise to the directors, camera operators and sound engineering. Truly a brilliant achievement! Bravo!
Really . . . one could perhaps quibble, but this is a magnificent performance of a very difficult piece. Hats off to Alexander and to the orchestra.
