That guy at the end with the loud immediate “bravo” echoes what we all think 👏🏻🥃
Tak takhle úchvatnou, strhující, horoucí interpretaci jsem ještě nikdy neslyšela. Nádhera, síla, hluboký smutek, víra, láska, i naděje a radost... Myslím, že tenhle mladičký umělec je nejen úžasný virtuos, ale i velký duch. Ať ho Bůh provází a chrání.
I have never heard anyone play more beautifully than Alexander. A divine gift to this world he is.
Yep ... that he is.
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.
@@alanpotter8680 Apparently he was a replacement and had less than 1 days notice. He should be overjoyed after such a performance. I have not heard a better one.
I am old, but feeling hope for the future after hearing Alexander and Yunchan play.
Thank you so much for making my life better! 😊
Undoubtedly, Alexander is the embodiment of real "Rachmaninov". This performance is the best Piano concerto No. 3 I've ever heard. The sweat or tears that flow around 40:00 must be the catharsis of satisfaction of a successful performance. A state beyond art!
You can see pure jou!
Tears rolling down Alexander’s cheeks at 40.00 are pure joy at Rachmaninoff’s music when at the finale, the music turns to triumph and joy! What a composer! What a pianist!
Very intriguing. I already feel that way about th-cam.com/video/SCHg9tup9NA/w-d-xo.html&si=1r-T7yxz0FE2V-BO. Now looking forward to this one.
@mcd1722 i never noticed that until now. truly the cherry on top.
Extraodinary beyond briiliance. Yes let me echo he is an embodiment of Rachmaninov. A plethora of emotions that come through whilst he plays undoubtedly one of the best Piano concerto No. 3.
And he is just 21 years old, what a gift to humanity.
A pure prodigy
Only 20 at this performance on Sept 15, 2022. He turned 21 on Oct 21, 2022.
... totally irrespective of nationality (Y) (Y) (Y) !
he has some unbelievably good performances in his teen and pre-teen years. Go check them, if you haven't. The Grieg concerto, the Saint-Saent 2nd, random etudes in his pre-teens... Amazing stuff.
He is one of *___theee___* masters of all classes and worlds --- so for example *_he_* should be the next overall world leader after Putin, Selenski, Biden, Netanjahu and and and !!
How can a single heart contain all this immense feelings together ... I wonder
Music can do that.
i always look at it spiritually and imagine he has lived several lives before this
This is definitely the best version I've ever heard! I love Alexander Malofeev!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
If he had only 20 hours to prepare for this concert, imagine the extraordinary memory he must have.He seems to incorporate the music .Incredible!
Opera singers do this all the time.... I admit it's not exactly the same thing digitally, but muscle memory and adrenaline are paramount.
It’s incredible what the human brain can process if you work hard enough
Ему не ставили прививки с рождения и детский сад он не посещал.
Правильное воспитание и защита от Медичей ... Медицины...
He has played this concerto many times before, with different orchestras, so he knows it well. I have heard nearly all of them on line, however, this here is the best I have heard him play it. The cadenza was extraordinarily well played.
@@kenhunt278much easier to sing than the play this concerto.
I heard him perform the Rach 3 in person several years ago. A fine performance then, but even more astounding is this performance. His maturity in interpretation and making Rachmaninoff's music take a more profound form is delightful! I look forward to watching/listening to more of his future endeavors!
OMG! That pause before the cadenza is gorgeous!!
Brilliant. From Siberia with love. Such a fantastic Alexander performance with lovely orchestra
Simply sensational, BRAVO!
Не представляю как это слышать в зале. Мозг и сердце улетят в космос.
I heard Alexander play the Rach 3 live in Buffalo. At the end of the first movement, the concert master was wiping tears from his eyes. The cadenza is like honey on the tongue. Tears tears fall from our faces.
This is the most beautiful Rach no. 3 that I have ever heard. Bare none. The technical demands of the piece fall off Alexander with ease. But where he really excels is in the interpretive. The story he lays out from beginning to end is a compelling unified whole. He plays the finale exquisitely so that the one note climax is the true pinnacle of the piece. Just amazing.
I am blown away!!! This man was on fire!!He is in a class of his own.And he was clearly born to play Rachmaninhoff.The elegance,the musicality,the passion,the tenderness....bravo,bravo,bravo!!!!I'll be listening to this over and over and it will still not be enough!It's nearly 2 o'clock in the morning,but I'm right and ready for Rach 2....played by Alexander,who else??
So beautiful! His Cadenza is Amazing. Love from Hong Kong ❤
Я снова здесь. Душа в пятки уходит. Трудно описать восторг... За что нам такие подарки!? Пересидентов может быть много, а Александр Малофеев - один. Пожелаем ему здоровья богатырского и счастливой человеческой Судьбы.
Gracias a los q pusieron en TH-cam este conciertoooo!!! Grande Rasmaninof!! Pero ese niño, Alexander... Me dejó abriboca!!! Increíblemente maravilloso!! Lo siguo desde q era niño!! Q soltura q claridad, q fraseo, Dios mio!!! Cuidenlo!!
Could there be a blend more European than this of a German orchestra, a French conductor of Armenian origins and two Russian geniuses, the composer and the current interpreter? Ii can only congratulate all of you, true artists, who don't shy from proving that in art, chiefly in music, every difference is in advance overcome. Bravo! And thank to all of you.
+ A conductor whose family is from European side of Istanbul.
This rendition is brilliant: simple but powerful and sincere and sophisticated. It's nearly 2 in the night but I couldn't stop until the end. It was like breathing with you. Thank you!!
The scene of tears coming out of Malofeev's eyes at the end of the last movement is incredibly sensitive 40:03 . Malofeev is a genius! And the hr-Sinfonieorchester film director deserves an Oscar!
What a joy to see this man growing up before my very eyes and getting better and better
So emotional!
Superlativo genial interpretación . Exelente ALEXANDER GRACIAS
Ooh boy that cadenza
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.
Согласна с Вами. Мысль о пророчестве пронзила мне душу.
nothing more to say...
Sacha is an artistic soul. You are a partisan and biased individual projecting your own prejudices and fears.
Take the genius of Rachmaninoff's music and the phenomenal performance by this young man, and magic is bound to happen... and it did, big time. The finale had me smiling and tears in my eyes at the same time. Bravo Alexander, bravo!
Wonderful execution! A clear, intense and mellow sound at the same time. Malofeev is a great pianist!
Absolutely beautiful!! Incredible! Standing ovation!! Huge BRAVO to Alexander Malofeev, and to director and wonderful orchestra!
I’ve heard and seen what I thought were the finest performances of this piece, but young Malofeev is another level entirely. Impeccable technique, marvelous phrasing, unbelievable energy and transcendent delicateness, and the passion only a Russian can have for this music. Rarely does this warhorse bring me to tears, but Malofeev did just that at several points, no more so than the magnificent restatement of the soaring theme in the coda. I hope to hear him live some day.
At the end of the piece, Alexander had tears in his eyes. I am VERY fortunate to see him in March, 2023 -- Front row center.
@@gerrylewinson9918 I just bought tickets to his performance in San Francisco on March 22, 2023 ... I'm traveling over 5,000 miles round trip just to see him because I missed his performance in Ravinia (Chicago) in July 2021 due to Covid cancellation ... but I'm 83 years old and time is my enemy so I cannot miss this chance.
@@gerrylewinson9918 Bring him flowers ! It was not allowed in Amsterdam Oct. 1st. 2022 but I sat front row and did it anyway. He gave me a very bright smile !
@@gerrylewinson9918 Right around the corner, north of San Francisco by less than an hour, Alexander will do a recital for a crowd of 100 people in the middle of an art gallery. An unparalleled opportunity to be with him up close. The 222 in Healdsburg. I expect he will perform Moonlight, Weinberg #4 Sonata and the Scriabin and Rachmaninoff he played at Verbier
@@jonmanabimichael assuming you're still with us.... how was the performance?
ALEXANDER MALOFEEV !!!... CONFIRMAÇÃO ÚNICA E PORTENTOSA DE CÉREBRO IMPOSSÍVEL DE SER DEFINIDO .
ALEXANDER, MAS QUE CÉREBRO, HEIN ?
OBRIGADO, POR SUA PRODIGIOSA EXISTÊNCIA . E MAIS UMA VEZ, PARABÉNS !!! SEMPRE, SEMPRE E SEMPRE !!!
Alexander is fantastic. I just love this orchestra too.
The sound he makes at the bottom of the ossia cadenza is titanic 😲
I love Alexander Malofeev！！！
Me too. Have bern following him for years since he was very young ❤
У меня вообще нет слуха и здесь случайно выпал этот концерт, и, надо сказать, это потрясающе!
❤😢 l was not strong enough in my praise for this great performance! A worthy successor to the great Van Cliburn! A fantastic musical achievement at 21!!
I saw Cliburn play at Tanglewood, and the feelings I
felt with his performance is the same (if not better) than what I feel when Alexander caresses the piano keys…
Нет слов, браво🎉спасибо❤
Your country has given us this magnificent talent. Thanks
WOW! Fantastic! Goosebumps are unavoidable... A highly exciting interpretation: Exciting, emotional, sparkling, perfectly balanced, beautiful rich sound, in the tender places as well as in the big eruptions This charismatic young artist definitely knows how Rachmaninoff should be played. I'm sure the composer would have given him a big hug!
The Great Alexander. Brilliant performance.
Unreal!!! He just blew the lid off the crayon box!!! Infinite colorings and mastery! I will be listening to this over and over to really get an appreciation of it...absolutely beauty and beyond!!!
"blew the lid off the crayon box" lol, love that, and i agree
Absolutely amazing! BRAVO Alexander Malofeev! He played with such incredible phrasing and delicate fingering and pure love, heart, and soul so that Rachmaninoff himself surely would have stood to applaud!!
Shame on Orchestra Symphony de Montreal for canceling concerts with this marvellous artist, just because of his nationality. When and why should a young pianist has anything to do with politics? It's already unimaginably difficult to make a career in classical music nowadays and they literally don't make enough compared with how difficult the job is. I wish I could have the pleasure of listening to him live one day.
I absolutely agree. Music and the arts are rather a way to bring unity and love. Why is war worshiped?
Ukraine has had no benefit from its war.
The orchestra is absolutely incredible.
He really "gets it!!!"
40:01 A few tears! One cannot imagine what all this young man has been through in the past several months. He's not only performed at many venues all around the world but he is away from his home country, now living in Germany, away from his beloved family and close friends for many months, and most likely has no idea when he'll see them again. Yet, he gives us an absolutely fantastic performance of the Rach 3. Thank you, Alexander, and thank you to this wonderful orchestra and conductor, and thank you for sharing it with the world.
Hallo,
da kann ich Ihnen nur voll zustimmen! Ein sehr mutiger junger Mann, der zu seiner Überzeugung steht und sie auch ausspricht. Ich wünsche ihm für die Zukunft alles, alles Gute und dass er bald seine Familie wiedersehen kann! ❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣❣
I ca see it in Sasha’s face and tears come to my eyes. Please God protect him.
One can only imagine the strong feelings coursing through Sasha - now that he’s separated from his loved ones - while playing his beloved Rachmaninoff❤️
And I think those feelings DO show
Why is he estranged in Germany?
It should be noted that Alexander had 20 hours notice to fill in for the originally scheduled pianist. I'll bet much of the audience didn't know what they had in front of them until that first mini-Cadenza.
Yes, and also he was in another country at the time I believe.
Exactly. Yevgeni Kissin had to cancel the performance because he was ill
It occurse to me, since the wind section of an orchestra here in milano went on strike without notice not once but twice this season and the guests soloist that were scheduled to play piano concerti wonderfully performed some unprepared sonatas and chamber music, that in such unexpected circumstances sparkles the great musicianship thats too often taken for granted.
Wow. He just rose in my estimation…the pressure…and the confidence!
@@esmailalbertoghassemishuak13555:04
der applaudierende mann im grünen trikot ist der HERO im publikum. 👕🌹
Absolutely wonderful! Can not praise him enough!
I thought Lugansky was the best Rachmaninoff interpreter these times, but I was wrong. This guy is incredible.
Yun chan lim
Malofeev and Yunchan from the new generation. But still Mikhail Pletnev is the last postromantic since Horowitz died.
They are both equally good and I've hoped for a long time to see a duo of them both.
Did you hear Valentina Lisitsa?
@@grigorygusev2191 of course I heard. Not the best one, in my view. Lisitsa’s interpretations are far for academical, unfortunately.
I thoroughly enjoyed a great performance as did most people who commented on it.
For those who did not, as they say in the Highlands of New Guinea , “ Problem belong them”.
Саша, мы с тобой!! Спасибо за бесценные эмоции, что ты даёшь людям!! 🧡🍀🍀🍀
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.
Are you aware that he is often out of sync with the orchestra in the last movement? And he altered various chords and octaves in the 3rd movement.
@@raffigorski6850 yes indeed I am. But probably the greatest live video of this concerto is Horowitz Mehta. There too you will find all kinds of error. Horowitz rejoiced in these as this is what live music making is all about. And he was right (even when he was wrong!)
you've read my thoughts
@@raffigorski6850 Always looking for the flyshit in the pepper!
I agree!! This Rach 3 is above all others. You speak for me.
I and my wife visited this concert with hr-Sinfonieorchester Piano: Alexander Malofeev ∙and conductor : Alain Altinoglu.
Alexander Malofeev played instead of Evgeny Kissin who was sick.
Alexander Malofeev is a great pianist!!
Malofeev is clearly the better musician! I think Kissin was great as a teenager but not so much today.
10:40
His cadenza sounds actually like improvising and that is how cadenzas were really meant to be played before
Amazing
First five second and I know I'm at the right place. Delicate, sublime music from the first moment till the last one, and the top of that my favourite young pianist, Malofeev. Rachmaninoff most complex and difficult piano concerto was red, adapted and interpreted beautifully and this is a huge huge thing, represent highest music values. Until now it's been 5 years 'I've been happily following this first class orchestra. Heavenly event.
This is certainly one of the best interpretations of this - the third movement is so sublime it’s hard to say in words 👏🏻👍🏻🍻🥃can you imagine taking the best bits of daniil, Horowitz and this young man into one performance it would be astounding - as I love each individually but daniil still delivers the best for me 👏🏻🍻🥃
This young guy is so damn cool, tough and focused just on the music! Wow!
It‘s the best version I‘ve ever heard.
Kadenz 10:50 - 13: 21 - sensationell !
Восхищена Сашей Малофеевым.Пусть все у него будет хорошо и в творчестве и в жизни.
To say this is the best I’ve heard seems mere words, but there are no words to describe what this performance makes me feel. Bottom line, it speaks to me like no other.
Unbelievable. Fantastic!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Perhaps the best cadenza I have ever heard.
This young man is phenomenal!!
Rachmaninoff would be extremely happy & proud his work is performed so masterly. Even better than the master himself!
This is what happens when you play Scriabin nonstop all week then have to play the Rach 3..and you're galaxy class. "Not another Rach 3 performance" turns into "let's hear that again!" - truly great.
Fantastico,grande.
A CADA VEZ QUE ASSISTO OS SEUS VÍDEOS, CONSTITUÍDOS DE MODO A MATERIALIZAR-SE TODA A SUA BURILADÍSSIMA SENSIBILIDADE ; REFINADÍSSIMA E ESPLENDOROSA SENSIBILIDADE QUE ME LEVA A CRER QUE, EM CADA CONCERTO E EM CADA RECITAL, É O AUTOR INTERPRETANDO A SI PRÓPRIO, SOBRETUDO SE SE ATENTAR PARA A INTENSIDADE, TEMPOS VIBRACIONAL E TRANSPOSICIONAL DE TODAS AS NOTAS . ALEXANDER... MUITOS, MÚLTIPLOS, MULTÍPLICES E ETERNOS PARABÉNS !!!
FERNANDO DIAS BORGES, em 25/04/2.024 .
ピアノとオケの協奏が筆舌に尽くしがたいほど美しく、この苦難のときにMalofeevがドイツオペラ座で演奏した歴史的事実、Malofeevの涙に心揺り動かされました。Malofeevさんならびにフランクフルト放送交響楽団のみなさま、視聴の機会をいただけたこと感謝いたします。どうもありがとうございました。Thank you very much to every music lovers.
His smile at the end just ties everything together perfectly!
Браво маэстро👏👏👏
В конце на коде аж слезы брызнули🤭🤭🤭
the right soul occupies the right body - the best performance
I get it, those who said erratic or pace issues, comparing to Lim's performance it's not as technical perfect rendering, the symphony also supports him big times. But man, there's something about this one that moves you for reasons you don't understand. If I just let the music goes in the background without paying attention of who's playing it still always gets me, everytime
.
His performance is from the heart..looking the smiles from the orchestra and audience and listen to him sublime encore piece
Even the great Horowitz has technical issues with this enormous opus, there is a live recording here on YT were the finale is a bit messed up. I personally don’t care. You are so right, thank you for your insightful comment. I prefer concerts that are played with full passion to the robotic performances of some (particularly Asian) artists
Именно Александр исполняет непревзойденно Рахманинова. Магическое звучание, ювелирное🌹
Александр Великий.
I have commented before and yet I am compelled to comment again. Alexander, your PASSION as an artist is beyond my words to express!! THANKS for being you and sharing so much of yourself!!
Для меня -это проникновение в глубинный океан музыки Рахманинова!До дрожи!Браво,Маэстро!
I was 17 when I first heard Rachmaninov ' Concerto #3, after hearing Vladamir Horowitz on Record. I was an instant fan, and have loved it, especially hearing Alexander play it, with his interpretation. Bravo to all of you involved❤. Kay Mohr
What must one do to get a standing ovation from the entire audience. I salute the guy in the green sweater.
What a privilege to whitness such passion and virtuosity.
I agree. Bravo green sweater guy. I had the privilege of hearing Horowitz perform this for the last time with the NY and Mehta in 76 or 77. It’s on TH-cam finally) Though he struggled a bit with some of it, the magic was still there and when they hit that last chord, as one, the entire audience were on their feet cheering, clapping, some with tears in their eyes because they knew we wouldn’t hear this again live. The ovation went on for 20minutes. But to your point, the audience was reserved for whatever reason, not even rhythmic applause. Maybe the green sweater guy was double parked and trying to make his move.
@@ronromano4796 😄
Fantastisch! Zo heeft Rachmaninoff het bedoeld.
I have never seen Rachmaninov played like this in my entire life...the last movement...My GOD!!!
Heaven
"Из всех наслаждений жизни, одной любви музЫка уступает, но и любовь - мелодия." А.С. Пушкин
Слушать такое исполнение - счастье! Александр волшебник! 😍❤
I don't have words...just listen to it.
That cadenza. Oh my god.
Gives me chills every time
Bravo, Alexander, Bravo!!
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.
Bravoo Alexander
there really isn't that many recordings of this concerto lol this piece is widely considered the hardest piece to play on piano implying that this piece would have the least amount of recordings compared to any other piece.
"A tender vulnerable side that most pianists do not achieve". And this is exactly what, I believe, separates him from the rest.
@@mcd1722 I agree heartily❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@mcd1722 A Rachmanov soulmate
Truly great performance. In my opinion as good as Anna Federova's performance.
He plays it as a piano and orchestra concerto. Love it.
БРАВО БРАВО БРАВО!!!!!!
Хорошо играют многие, гениально - единицы. Саша - в их числе!
🎼На музыкальном Небосклоне- Индивидуальность💖
Bravissimo. Pianismo superlativo per delicatezza ed jntensita' espressiva.
Absolutely astonishing. One runs out of superlatives. Bravo, Mr. Malofeev.
Es el mejor pianista que escuche en mí vida
💯 я тоже!
Alexander is pure genius and the great way he introduces the rest of the Conductor and Orchestra shows a remarkable person who’s humble and very brought up. His a wonderful credit to his parents!!
So many people who reach the top of their careers have such an inflated opinion of themselves!
He is one very gifted soul. ❤
Absolutely agree !
Храни его Господь! 🙏
The cadense is chilling. Amazing!
Great to watch a current performance by this young giant of the piano. He has a unique way with Rachmaninov that I personally enjoy. He combines amazing technique, a great sense of of the scope of the music, and a rare ability to be aggressive and delicate at the right times.
Maybe it’s rather passion not aggression as his intention
Rachmaninoff is all about 'dreaming the impossible dream'. rather die trying than living a mediocre life.
I congratulate all orchestra participants, conductor and the pianist. If we consider a period of at least 30 years, Mr. Malofeev has brought a new breath to the interpretation of Rachmaninov's 3rd concerto, on top of dozens of valuable interpretations. In my opinion, the manifestation of this interpretation could have reached a much more satisfactory level with conductors in the Karajan or Bernstein approach. Thanks to those who gave us the opportunity to listen to this very impressive and fresh interpretation of Rachmaninov!
Pianist (Malofiev) is a killer! Must have composer's genes. Never saw such unaffected power before.
